Title: Howling Good Time
Product review: It was fun to return to this novel twenty years after I first read it. In many ways McCammon is superior to Stephen King. Both authors can be a tad verbose and McCammon could have whittled The Wolf's Hour down. But in the end who is going to argue over a few extra pages when the subject is a Russian-born British spy who takes on Nazis as a werewolf. The interspersed flashbacks that explain how Michael Gallatin is able to take on wolf form add to the whole outing. The main plot itself drags a bit with the author seemingly wanting to do a travelogue of Europe. Yet, it is fun, campy with an old time serial movie feel. Specifically I have to commend McCammon for the riveting scene involving Gallatin and a Panzer (Mark II or III I guess). The reason I returned to this novel years later was to reacquaint myself before sinking my teeth into The Hunter from the Woods which is McCammon's follow-up published in 2011.
