The Hunter from the Woods

The Hunter from the Woods

The Hunter from the Woods marks the much-anticipated return of Michael Gallatin, the lycanthropic hero of Robert McCammonâ€™s 1989 classic, The Wolfâ€™s Hour. These all-new, interlinked stories offer a full measure of McCammonâ€™s trademark narrative excitement, and comprise a fascinating composite portrait of a unique fictional creation.

The volume opens with a pair of brief glimpses into Michaelâ€™s early life in Russia and his initial recruitment into the British Secret Service. It ends with a haunting vision of the werewolf at twilight. In between, McCammon gives us three stellar novellas depicting different phases of Michaelâ€™s long, brutal war against Nazi Germany. â€œSea Chaseâ€ is a nautical tale about the hazards of transporting a defecting German scientist to a place of sanctuary in England. â€œThe Wolf and the Eagleâ€ is the account of an unlikely friendship between rival â€œmen of actionâ€ and a harrowing portrayal of a lethal forced march through the North African desert. â€œThe Room at the Bottom of the Stairsâ€ tells of an impossible, ultimately tragic love affair set in the embattled city of Berlin during the latter stages of the war.

Erotic, visceral, and filled with moments of desolating horror and unexpected warmth, The Hunter from the Woods is a triumph of imaginative storytelling. Like the best of McCammonâ€™s earlier work, it offers intelligent, world-class entertainment. In the process, it shines a welcome new light on one of the most uncommon heroes in contemporary fiction.
