The Wolf's Hour by Robert R. McCammon
4.0
James Bond crossed with The Wolfman, set during World War II. Great stuff.
Michael Gallatin is a Russian-born, British secret agent. Michael has been sent on a mission, beyond enemy-lines, to find out information on the top-secret Nazi plan, Iron Fist. This is to ensure the D-Day landings go off without a hitch. Oh, and Michael is also a werewolf.
Throughout The Wolf's Hour we learn of Michael/Mikhail's origins, and how he became a werewolf. The Wolf's Hour felt a bit like Metal Gear Solid at times; one man going it alone in enemy territory with plenty of villains after his blood. And there are many villains in the book, each striving to cause utter chaos, and each coming up short against Michael. The ultimate dastardly plan, however, would make David8 from Prometheus/Alien Covenant very proud.I
Overall, a great book that would have worked with or without the werewolf plotline.
