D-DAY IS THREATENED. BUT ONE MAN
COULD RIP THE HEART OUT OF THE
NAZIS—WITH HIS BARE CLAWS…

He is Michael Gallatin, master spy, lover—and werewolf.
Able to change shape with lightening speed, to kill
silently or with savage, snarling fury, he proved his
talents against Rommel in Africa. Now he faces his most
delicate, dangerous mission: to unravel the secret Nazi
plan known as Iron Fist. From a parachute jump into
occupied France to the lush corruption of Berlin, from
the arms of a beautiful spy to the cold embrace of a
madman’s death machine, Gallatin draws ever closer to
the ghastly truth about Iron Fist. But with only hours to
D-Day, he is trapped in the Nazis’ web of destruction…

Robert R. McCammon breaks the mold of the werewolf novel
with THE WOLF’S HOUR, combining a remarkable tale of
pulse-pounding excitement with a uniquely sympathetic,
fascinating portrait of the werewolf as noble warrior—and
conflicted being. Complex, compelling and utterly real,
Michael Gallatin deserves a place of honor in the pantheon
of great fictional heroes.

AMID THE SAVAGERY OF WAR,
THERE IS A THIN LINE BETWEEN
MAN AND BEAST…

WIKTOR: In the heart of the forest, the old man filled Michael Gallatin’s head with Shakespeare—and taught him to hunt on four legs. He left his pupil with one command, “Live free,” and one unanswerable question, “What is the werewolf, in the eye of God?”

CHESNA VAN DORNE: Known to the Allies as Echo, she was Germany’s Golden Girl, a propaganda film star who sipped champagne with the Nazi top echelon. Posing as her fiancé, Gallatin discovered a woman of rare, glorious passion—and found a precious clue to Iron Fist that put them both in the path of death…

HARRY SANDLER: An American big-game hunter, openly sadistic, he kept a pet hawk so bloodthirsty even his Nazi pals dared not cross him. Gallatin had an old score to settle with Sandler—and he would take his vengeance as a man, not a wolf…

COLONEL JEREK BLOK: Mastermind of Iron Fist, former commander of Falkenhousen concentration camp, and gleeful member of the Brimstone Club, he kept a vicious bodyguard everyone called “Boots.” Blok liked to think of himself as Chesna’s fond uncle—and he didn’t approve of her new beau, Gallatin…

MOUSE: A deserter from the German Army, he met Gallatin while picking pockets on the streets of Paris. Desperate to return to his homeland, the little man agreed to help the Allies—and learned a devastating lesson about true courage…
