The Hunter from the Woods marks the much-anticipated return of Michael
Gallatin, the lycanthropic hero of Robert McCammon s 1989 classic, The
Wolf s Hour. These all-new, interlinked stories offer a full measure of
McCammon 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 Michael 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 Michael s
long, brutal war against Nazi Germany. 'Sea Chase' is a nautical tale
about the hazards of transporting a defecting German scientist to a
place of sanctuary in England. 'The Wolf and the Eagle' is the account
of an unlikely friendship between rival 'men of action' and a harrowing
portrayal of a lethal forced march through the North African desert.
'The Room at the Bottom of the Stairs' 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
McCammon 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.
