I picked mine up through the Salt Lake county library and had to wait almost a month for it to get to me.That's a good sign as it shows that it's a popular choice. McCammon has a pretty big following based on his Amazon ratings. over 100 people have written reviews of this book in particular.

The hero, Michael Gallatin is the sole survivor of a Russian aristocratic family. He is infected with the werewolf virus and lives for a while as part of a pack. He then emigrates to England, where he changes his name and begins work for the Secret Service.

After an assignment in North Africa, he is tasked with developing information about a German threat to the Allied invasion scheduled for 1944.The assignment takes him to France, then to Berlin and other locales in search of the truth behind the threat. Although the Germans have the werewolf powers in SOTR, the book can easily be turned around and the hero's adventures used for a German character. There's an attack on a factory, an encounter with German patrols, demolition of a factory, and more incidents that are good fodder for scenarios. It's also a good read if you're looking for something to get you into the mood for playing SOTR.

Due to some of the sexual and violent content, this is probably a book for someone over 16 or 18 years old.
