Wolves of War

A John Hartman Novel

By: Martin Parece

Narrated by: Daryl Branson

After his unbelievable encounter in the Paderborn forest near Wewelsburg Castle ("Wewelsburg" from Tendrils In the Dark), Captain John Hartman of the OSS finds himself convalescing in Allied hands. Plagued by nightmares, he must convince his superior officer that Heinrich Himmler is up to something terrible while also trying to understand himself what it all means.

What follows is a cat and mouse game which lands Hartman in the country of Belgium on the eve of one of the deadliest battles of World War II. He has to survive his own army, the enemy, and SS infiltrators to confront the dark mastermind behind the SS.

Review

Narration potential for this book would be incredible. The icy setting alone begs for atmospheric sound design howling wind, distant gunfire, boots crunching in snow.The dialogue is sharp and soldier-authentic. The internal monologue of Hartman would shine in audiobook form, especially during the tension-filled forest scenes where silence becomes the loudest sound in the world.

This is the kind of story that would feel cinematic in your headphones perfect for fans of intense, immersive war fiction with horror undertones.

Great story telling

The story was very well written with just enough of all different aspects to keep many different audiences intrigued. The narrator also did a good job of projecting the right tones and subtilty to a book that has much mystery about it. I'm looking forward to the next book when it is released.
