Immortal Lycanthropes
by Hal Johnson
The title of this book is a bit misleading. As far as I remember, there wasn't a single lycanthrope in the story. Nor were there (gratefully) any sparkling vampires. There were more than enough therianthropes ("humans able to metamorphose into animals through shapeshifting"). So, certain animals, one per species, can turn into a "human", however, their nature is more animal-like than man-like. None of the therianthropes in the book were trustworthy; humans are bad enough; these were worse. In fact, many were therianthropicides (I'll let the story make this clear). The number of secret societies, for some reason, reminded me of the National Treasure movies (I'm not sure why). The story made good use of riddles for a short time. My favorite character was Mignon Emanuel because I can't pronounce her first name, then Myron unlocked the door and she became less favorite. We never did find out the significance of the planet "Proserpine". The end of the story was a big let down (especially for the Marcus Lynch and his henchtherianthropes).
