Wolf Hunter - In the waning days of WWII, the Nazis succeeded in creating the ultimate fighters, werewolves. Viktor Huelen escaped capture and made his way to America, where he lived for years undetected...until now. In present day Detroit, Huelen is being blackmailed into sharing his dark gift with a group of college kids. Jack is an Ojibwa shapeshifter... ...and the only thing that stands between the werewolves and world domination. "Horror meets mad science as Benét's shape-shifting nightmare plays out in frightening detail against the backdrop of Nazi Germany." - Jason Jack Miller, author of Hellbender "I know of two writers that I believe have the potential of rising out of the horror ghetto and producing books that the wider reading public will want to read despite the horror ... one of them is Jack Kincaid and the other one is Jean-Loup Benét. Their work has heart. Yes, technically it is horror ... it transcends the material that the majority of horror authors are content to produce." - Janrae Frank, World Fantasy Award-winning author of the Dark Brothers of the Light series "I enjoyed it! ... It's well-written and accomplished and entertaining (and it has Nazis!)... It reminded me of classic-era Robert R. McCammon, and you can't go wrong with that." - Brian Keene, Stoker Award-winning author of The Rising and Ghoul "... has an imaginative, interesting plot ... you get off some good licks and scenes like the medicine wheel scene (in which the dialogue is quite good)..." - Jack Ketchum, Stoker Award-winning author of Off-Season and The Girl Next Door
