Roaming the globe in a fight against Nazi Germany, shapeshifter Michael Gallatin stars in stories that are “tremendous fun as McCammon mashes 007 and the Wolfman in a League of Extraordinary Gentleman fashion” (SFcrowsnest).
“The Great White Way”
In 1927, the wife of the star wrestler in a Russian traveling circus suffers at her husband’s hand. She finds solace in the arms of the boy who cares for the animals, a young man whose true nature is yet to be revealed . . .
“The Man from London”
A British Secret Service operative follows rumors of a shapeshifter to a small Russian village. There, he comes face to face with someone who can be fashioned into a unique weapon. A man whose name is Mikhail Gallatinov.
“Sea Chase”
Arriving in Danzig, Michael Gallatin gets a job as a seaman. His mission: to infiltrate the crew. The ship harbors a weapons expert fleeing the Nazis, and the Germans will stop at nothing to halt his escape.
“The Wolf and the Eagle”
After their planes crash over the Libyan desert, Gallatin finds himself in the company of a German Messerschmitt ace. Together, they struggle to survive the heat, the scorpions, and a warlike tribe of scavengers . . .
“Death of a Hunter”
At forty-eight, Gallatin is no longer the man—or the wolf—he once was. But what he faces at the hands of deadly ninja warriors may be a fate worse than death . . .

The titular hunter of these six paranormal espionage tales is Michael Gallatin, a dapper lycanthrope recruited by the British Secret Service (in 1989’s The Wolf’s Hour) to take covert part in the struggle against Nazi Germany. McCammon has a sure touch with plot-driven narrative and his hero is engaging, but his writing can be laughably sophomoric (“Her globes were absolutely huge north of her equator”) and the stories are frequently flawed. In “Sea Chase,” a romance is introduced but goes nowhere. “The Great White Way” hinges on a sudden, disconcerting shift in a major character’s allegiance. Much more troubling is “The Room at the Bottom of the Stairs,” in which Gallatin falls madly in love with a German agent who turns anti-Hitler Germans over to the Gestapo to be tortured. Gallatin may overlook his lover’s hatred for “undesirables,” but readers are unlikely to follow his lead.
