The Wolf's Hour by Robert R. McCammon
4.0
After reading the blurb of this book I am not sure what was I expecting from this book. I have not read a lot of World War and spy books, the only plus point of this book to me was that the lead of the book was a werewolf. I have read McCammon’s Boy’s Life which is one of my all time favorites, and I wanted to read more books by him so I picked this, a decision I am never going to regret.
Wolf’s Hour tells us the story of Michael Galletine, a British spy, during the World War II. He has all the traits essential and necessary to be a master spy but his biggest strength is to be able to shape shift into a Werewolf when the situation calls for. Michael has said goodbye to secret services until he has to accept a mission for which he has to travel all the way to Germany and uncover a top Nazi experiment.
Mr McCammon also told us how Mikahil, a young Russian boy became a werewolf and later turned himself into Michael, a topmost British spy. Mikahil and Michael both were great but my heart went out for the child Mikhail and how he struggled to accept all the changes that comes with being a Werewolf. How he learned to live in a pack and how he earned the respect of his fellow pack members was truly a heart-warming story, a part which I enjoyed much more than Michael’s.
World War and Werewolf is not a combination that looks very promising at first time and that's what I had thought but this book simply blew me away. Mr McCammon’s way of telling story is just so good. Every adventure of Michael’s life, be it from his childhood or his very secretive spy life, is told in beautiful words that made me kept turning pages after pages.
the other thing that rocked me to the core was atrocities of War and how it was effecting the lives of normal people. Some of the events described in books were absolutely brutal.
I truly enjoyed reading this book and will recommend it to everyone.
