About this listen

On the eve of D-Day, a British secret agent with unique powers goes behind Nazi lines.

Michael Gallatin is a British spy with a peculiar talent: the ability to transform himself into a wolf. Although his work in North Africa helped the Allies win the continent in the early days of World War II, he quit the service when a German spy shot his lover in her bed. Now, three years later, the army asks him to end his retirement and parachute into occupied Paris. A mysterious German plan called the Iron Fist threatens the D-Day invasion, and the Nazi in charge is the spy who betrayed Michael’s lover. The werewolf goes to France for king and country, hoping for a chance at bloody vengeance.

Critic Reviews

"Simon Prebble's elegant narration adds dignity to a potentially tawdry premise: a British spy in Nazi-occupied Europe during WWII who is secretly a werewolf. As it turns out, McCammon's storyline is surprisingly plausible, and Prebble persuasively voices the spy's tortured introspection about his identity as well as the horrors of the Nazi regime…. Prebble articulates a wide range of characters--from a beautiful French Resistance warrior to a sneering Nazi officer--with just enough color to distinguish them. Also notable are Prebble's voices for the spy's fellow werewolves and his perfect pacing as the spy is almost cornered." ( AudioFile)

Robert MacCammon is a living legend and the Wolf's Hour is another top notch read. Take a Werewolf chuck it in the middle of WWII add a Nazi Plot and you have the ingredients for a top notch action packed read full of intrigue and thrills.

The author puts a great spin on the Werewolf genre and the back story of our hero is just as engrossing as the main narrative. The characters are great and I really loved the villains they where straight out of a Indiana Jones flick. So if you are looking for a supernatural World War II read that is entertaining from the get go then this is your books.

I hate to use the words "entertaining" and "highly enjoyable" when it comes to the tragedy of WWII but I was engrossed by the masterful blend of werewolf mythology and war time adventure. Engrossing storytelling masterfully narrated with the reverence required for the themes of the time. Hoping to hear more from writer and narrator.

a fantastic combo of war and wolves

A great read

There were enough positive reviews for me to think this might be interesting, and Simon Prebble is a narrator that I have liked listening to so I gave it a go. However it didn’t work for me. The author spends tedious amounts of time on describing the killing of people and animals, the eating of animals, the feelings of changing into a beast that wants to eat animals and that sort of thing. He goes on and on and on at great length and I was soooo bored. There was the ghost of an interesting story emerging behind all that but I couldn’t wade through all the tedious stuff to go on. I didn’t finish and will be returning it.

Narration excellent, story disappointing
