I was really hesitant about buying this book, seeing I’m not a big fan of Young Adult stuff. But I have been a reader of Jeremy Robinson, Boyd, Konrad and especially Greig Beck for years. Thank heavens i did, as this book surprised and delighted me – it had plenty of science in the form of a young man being ripped out of a lab and shot into the future here he finds that mankind has disappeared. Wolf like beings now rule and are in a constant war with the viscous panterrans.
Greig Beck is known for putting some pretty brutal and gory scenes in his books, and a few horrifying scenes slip in here as well (the jorgmunders cave for one). Also he likes his military action, and he used that as well when the government sends some green berets through the wormhole to try and bring Arn back (boy, do they get a shock!). For me though, the most enjoyable thing was the tender scenes where the young female wolfen starts to fall in love with Arn – impossible love, but it made me laugh out loud, and cry a little as well.
If this is the first In a trilogy, I’ll be getting the next as soon as it arrives!
