Dire Wolf: a Novel
Dire Wolf by Eric Jubb was an almost five star book. I received it free from NetGalley for fair review.I found it to be a real page turner. I stayed up half the night to finish it. It is an excellent story line.
I found it exceptionally entertaining, with the caveat that there was no clear distinction of which characters were speaking.
It covered a broad range of time from Roman to current soldiers. The premise is that the pre-historic Dire Wolf
was diluted into the modern day gray wolf
& interbred with a presa canario.
Then through a genetic fluke a super wolf developed that could think strategically.
There's enough suspense in the wolf hunt & the interaction of characters to have kept me guessing. However, I was unable to set aside the suspension of disbelief to accept the idea that wolves could become poisonous.
I recommend this to readers of creature suspense, thriller & those interested in wolves.
