Ok but struggling with it.

I am not a fan of war books or of historical novels.
This is mostly a WW2 book with some fantasy in it.
The fantasy is ok, the idea is nice but it is simply not my cup of tea.
More than half way trough and I am very curious about the Nazi plan that is only hinted at until now.
No sign of the SF in this yet.
No magick besides the werewolf part and that is not in your face.
Not sure I will finish it but it is a good book and clear about what it is.
I tried it out of curiosity.

Outstanding

I've had this book in different forms for most of my adult life. It's a fantastic read and listen. Its narrated well by Simon Prebble, who really brings the story to life.

Riveting

A fascinating read/listen, narration first rate. The story grips from page one and leaves you wanting more at the end of each chapter.Highly recommend

Taut, tense and thrilling

I don't do war books! This was an entertaining and thrilling story merging a believable fantasy into a plausible past. I found myself gripped my Michael tale. A real page tuner. Thanks Mr McCammon. Awesome read.

Not usually my thing but brilliant

Checked out other reviews and thought, why not. Wasn’t disappointed. Excellent narration as ever from Simon Prebble. Looking forward to the next one

Wasn’t sure at first...

Not my usual type of book, but I thought I would give it a try. Starts ok, but while listening to it in the car with my teenage son, I could have done without the graphic sex bit.... the story get much better as you get into it... The reader does a really strong job. Overall worth a listen.

Don't usually do werewolves but..

Devoured the Matthew Corbett series because the writing was always good. Characters and storyline fantastical but very engaging. Same could be said for this. No matter the 'unbelievability' of the situation the writing brings it all to life. Bit more bone crunching and flesh ripping than I'd usually stomach but then what else would there be in a werewolf book =} Thumbs up to a good narrator too. Easy to listen to which makes all the difference 👍

A Truly Original Story.

This was a great read that kept me interested over the couple of months it took to finish.
This was the first Robert McCammon book and first historical fantasy book I tried and I'm glad I did. I was intrigued by the premise and the book starts quite literally in the middle of the action, which gripped me instantly. As it is quite a lengthy book it slowly unfolds, but it's worth sticking with as the multiple layers of the story pay off in spectacular fashion.
I really enjoyed Simon Prebble's narration too, his intonations were deliberate and the accents of each character and pronunciations of the different languages helped to immerse me in the world.
After reading this, I immediately followed it up with the collection of stories surrounding the same protagonist "The Hunter from the Woods" which is also narrated by Simon Prebble and I highly recommend that if you like "The Wolf's Hour."
This was a great story to escape into, I'll definitely be coming back to this one.
