Wolf Hunt: The Burning Ages [Paperback] [2011] (Author) Sebastian P. Breit
2024. The world we know is crumbling. A devastating war in the Persian Gulf has left the global economy in ruins, and civilization itself is beginning to crack under the strain.When a war-weary task force of NATO ships races against time and a rival fleet to prevent Brazil's descent into a murderous civil war, their mission is unexpectedly upset by a mysterious tempest. Thrown back in time, Captains Steven Flynn and Florian Hallwinter with their crews emerge in the year 1940 as the world is gripped in the fires of World War Two.Presented with the opportunity to change both past and future for the better, they find themselves drawn into a maelstrom of conflicting interests. While overcoming the suspicion of their natural allies of the time proves harder than they imagined, they soon discover that even the best intentions carry the seeds of doom. For whereas Flynn is American, Hallwinter and his crew are from Germany...

About the author
Sebastian P. Breit
1 book14 followersI worked in the financial sector before I decided to study English and Political Sciences at the University of Trier, Germany, something I would be better at if I spent more time studying instead of writing. I currently live in the city of Trier, the oldest urban settlement in Germany, and a place where the Roman past lurks behind each and every bush. When I'm not busy writing or studying you'll find me either reading, hiking, or enjoying life together with some good friends.
My greatest wish is, indeed, earning enough as a writer to make a living with it, but so far, everything I earn from writing goes into paying back my student loan. So if you like my work, please tell your friends about it and help me spread the word!
I promise, I might even get a photograph taken that's easier on the eyes. ;)

I received this book for free from the author by First Reads win on GR.
"Wolf Hunt" is written by the German writer Sebastian P. Breit. It was published on 04 of July 2011 in the USA (hm, did they work that day?).
Why I decided to enter the giveaway in the first place? I really liked the blurb. It has time travel and conflict of interest in it, which always make a book an interesting read.
Before starting to read I had no idea what it was going to be about. The name "Wolf Hunt" didn't actually tell me (I'm not a history geek) that it has something to do with Hitler, though cover art and blurb told me that I'll be reading about the WW2.
The book begins with two high Navy officers (I'm sorry for my inadequate ranking, I'm not good with it) trying to find a gift for their wives. Though they don't succeed and have to return to the base to receive orders. And when they leave the shore it starts... I won't tell you what happens, let's just say that it's very interesting and unexpected.
There are two main characters (at least they are the most main of a lot of others beautifully described people in the book) - Captains Steven Flynn and Florian Hallwinter. One is American, one is German. Both of them have to make difficult decisions based on their point of view and the good of all. Unfortunatelly, they couldn't find common ground and it resulted in thousand of people dying. Their people, with whom they served for several years - it made me cry when I was reading it. But in the end, both of the captains achieved what they've embarked to do and it's hard to judge whose decisison was the best. And they both, together with their remaining crew, survived and went through a lot.
The book deals with several issues of modern world. The obvious one - what could have happened if the Hitler was killed at the beginning of the war. Another one I liked, the discussion about referring to Afro-Americans - when put that way it does sound ridiculous. Considering the ending I would gladly read the second book "Clash of Eagles" to learn did they succeed and how will it all turn out.
Talking about writing style, the book felt long and not because it's boring but because it's packed full with action. It's written in an interesting style - kind of like a diary or maybe journal - makes following the plot so much easier, considering that different things happen in different places at the same time. There are lots of footnotes which really helped me understand what I'm reading and what are the ranks of characters.
Wolf Hunt is an awesome book, coherent and imaginative. I wish my history book was the same - on this case I would remember the subject. I would definitely recommend it to people who like history, especially WW2.

One can be excused that when hearing about the plot their mind invokes image of "Final Countdown" movie, where USN carrier is sent back in time to the eve of attack on Pearl Harbour.
In a sense this book does that, but it's much more. The biggest twist from time travelling stories is that force that is sent back in time is composed of British, American and German ships and sent to summer of 1940. Which in addition to standard "should we interfere in history so than lives will be saved" dilemma presents Germans with additional dilemma of either helping what would be Western Allies and so help enemies of their grandparents kill more Germans faster, do nothing and let WW2 play out as it did or do something else (I'll let your fears to rest and say it's not about helping Hitler win the war quickly). As you can imagine this results in a tense moment or two among time travellers.
Breit does a good job of explaining situation as it exists in 2024 without resorting to cheap plot tricks and doesn't spend too uch time dwelling on process of time shift.
Once protagonists figure out what has happened story picks up. Breit does a good job showing how different technology separated by 8 decades actually is and how that affects practical matters. Altough one potentialy good moment is wasted toward the end, I'll refrain from details to avoid spoilers.
There are however few things that prevent me from giving 5 stars. One is mixed use of imperial and metric measurments, switching between miles and kilometres. I wouldn't mind either, just not both. Another is that ethnic background of certain character is repeatedly brought forward, despite having no role in plot. I understand that Breit wishes to show multiethnic nature of modern Germany and it's navy and when it comes to some characters (not just with Germans but with Americans as well) this drives a plot forward but sometimes it seems it's there just for the sake of being there. Also list of characters wouldn't hurt.
Looking forward to sequel.

Sebastian Breit's first novel, Wolf Hunt (The Burning Ages) absolutely took me by surprise. I can honestly say, that I have no recollection of downloading a sample of his book to my Kindle, but I found myself looking for something to read during an extended sailing vacation, and the sample was there...I burned through it in record time, and immediately downloaded the rest of the book. I knew within the first few pages that I had had stumbled upon a hidden gem.
Wolf Hunt is a brilliant modern warfare techno-thriller and political drama that seamlessly transitions into a compelling alternate history novel. Breit envisions a frighteningly believable near future, plagued by a worldwide economic crisis and pushed to the boiling point by crippling social pressures. New international alliances are formed to challenge NATO, and fleets sail toward an inevitable showdown, but one of them never arrives. NATO's joint fleet of American, British, Dutch and German ships find themselves thrust back in time, to 1940, and are presented with a chance to alter the course of history. Two Captain's, one German and one American, have the same goal in mind, to put a stop to the Nazi war machine, but they have radically different concepts of how to impact the war. The difference spells potential disaster for the combined fleet.
As a former surface fleet naval officer myself, I found Breit's treatment of modern naval culture, operational procedures and capabilities is astoundingly accurate, but what truly propels his novel ahead of similar authors in this genre, is his capacity to envision breakthroughs in naval warfare and technology ten years into the future. Not so far that it appears foreign to the reader, but advanced enough to walk the line between science fiction and reality.
Breit brings in depth character development to his story, giving the reader a detailed look at character motivations and decision making. He incorporates many complex details and descriptions, but does not overwhelm the reader like Clancy. The passages of combat depict the true brutality of naval combat, where quick decisions, sensor superiority, armament numbers and chance combine to determine the difference between victory and defeat...often granting a mere Pyrrhic victory to the winner.
Beyond the action packed, fast paced thriller, Breit tackles many of the social issues confronting society today, starkly juxtaposing them onto a 1940 backdrop, with clarity and purpose.
Wolf Hunt is a first rate novel, by a sensational up and coming author who joins the ranks of indie authors rivaling todays brand name authors.

The Burning Ages: Wolf Hunt By Sebastian P. Breit is a sci-fi time-travel/alternative history novel, that explores the What If ? The scenario being: UN/NATO military navel task force from the year 2024 sailed through a mysterious portal and went back 80 years into past to July 1940.
In a near future 2024. A deadly nuclear conflict in the Middle East has left the global economy in ruins, and has pushed the last superpowers of to the brink of World War III.
A UN/NATO navel task force is sent on a mission to Brazil to secure one of the few remaining oil deposits. Among the task force are German Captain Florian Hallwinter and American Captain Steven Flynn who have been best friends for years, but before their mission even begins, the ships of the UN/NATO task force are hit by a mysterious energy wave. Transporting the advanced naval warships and their crews 80 years into the past to July 1940.
As the crews of the UN task force come to grips with their situation, German Captan Hallwinter sees a opportunity to change history by stoping the Nazis with their advanced 21st century technology, but he is met with suspicion and conflicting interest by his long time American friend Captain Flynn. The result is a deadly battle that destroys half the UN/NATO ships and their crews. Left with only two advanced warships and their survivoring crews German Captain Hallwinter sets out on a mission to kill Adolf Hitler, and senior Nazi Command In hopes stopping the global conflict. While on the other side the world Captain Flynn and the few surviving UN task force members are captured and imprisoned by the American government who doesn’t know what to make of the mysterious time travelers. Captain Flynn try’s to convince the 1940s American leadership of the threat Captain Hallwinter and his ships pose to the Allies.
I started Sebastian Breit’s Wolf Hunt... and I just could not put it down. It is a page turner with great action, wonderful twists and turns, with just enough Navy techo-thriller jargon to make it all interesting. His history bending time travel was refreshing compared to the various other time travel stories.
Alternate histories of WWII and the idea of people from our near future traveling back in time to WWII, are not new, but this book offers a unique twist. For more than half of the NATO force that find themselves thrust back in time are German. And they have their own, very strong ideas about how history can be improved.
The premise is pure, distilled awesome. As I was reading the beginning, I was wondering, are these NATO forces *really* going to turn on each other? Is that believable? But the author made it not only seem believable, he keeps both sides very sympathetic and heroic.
At the heart of the story are two men, a German, Captain Florian Hallwinter of the German lead ship, the destroyer FMG Brandt, and an American, Captain Steven Flynn of the US Navy destroyer USS Halsey. Their deep friendship is what makes the story downright gut wrenching when everything goes south and they find themselves on opposite sides. There are a number of well-drawn supporting characters as well. No one in this book is a caricature, each comes across as a flesh-and-blood person with strengths and weakness--even the more vile ones.
The novel moves very quickly with short, pointed chapters, sometimes only a single page in length. Some of the characters aren't terribly well fleshed out, but doesn't particularly distract from the story. The ships FMG Brandt (modern destroyer) and FMG Emden (amphibious assault ship) are the real stars of the show and their capabilities are showcased quite nicely throughout novel in various great action scenes.
There are also a lot of frankly fun scenes in here. Haven't you secretly always wanted to know how a battle would go between fellow NATO ships? (Be honest.) How modern destroyers would fair against the pride of WWII's navies? How scientists from Los Alamos would react if you showed them a modern computer? If a single twenty-first century soldier with a powered exoskeleton suit could take out a German panzer tank ?
The only drawbacks to this novel is that it ends on a cliffhanger. That has never been resolved considering this book came out back in 2011. There’s also are a lot of obvious typos/editing mistakes. At times they are so clumped together that it takes some effort to decipher the intended text, and makes some parts of book confusing to read.
All in all, A rare read that’s not only wildly entertaining, but also profoundly moving. That I would most definitely recommend to anyone looking for a a good military techno thriller or alternate history novel.

Sebastian P. Breit in his new book, “Wolf Hunt” Book One in The Burning Ages series published by CreateSpace gives us a different World War II adventure.
From the back cover: If you had the chance to change the world, how far would you go?
2024. The world we know is crumbling. A devastating war in the Persian Gulf has left the global economy in ruins, and civilization itself is beginning to crack under the strain.
When a war-weary task force of NATO ships races against time and a rival fleet to prevent Brazil’s descent into a murderous civil war, their mission is unexpectedly upset by a mysterious tempest. Thrown back in time, Captains Steven Flynn and Florian Hallwinter with their crews emerge in the year 1940 as the world is gripped in the fires of World War Two.
Presented with the opportunity to change both past and future for the better, they find themselves drawn into a maelstrom of conflicting interests. While overcoming the suspicion of their natural allies of the time proves harder than they imagined, they soon discover that even the best intentions carry the seeds of doom. For whereas Flynn is American, Hallwinter and his crew are from Germany…
If you like history then this book is for you. If you like science fiction then this book is for you. If you like the fairly new genre, alternate history then this book is for you. “Wolf Hunt” is a rip-rousing adventure yarn that will grab your attention and keep you flipping pages as fast as you can read them. A war fleet from 2024 is thrown back in time to 1940 and then the real excitement begins. Considering the weaponry at their disposal if they take action, whatever action they take will change the course of history. Their very presence in 1940 already has a significant bearing on the future and now the captains must decide on what action to take. More conflict develops as part of the fleet is German while part of the fleet is American or British. “Wolf Hunt” is a real thriller as everyone is in deadly danger from within their ranks as well as from without from the War. If this book perfect? No, not quite, it could have used more editing and polish. But as this is the only complaint that I can find it certainly does not diminish the action and adventure. I liked it a lot and look forward to more in this series.

This novel engaged me from the first page to the last. It certainly was never boring. I was impressed on every page by the author’s broad and deep knowledge of both present-day and World War II era armaments and weapons systems.This book needs heavy editing, and I hope Mr. Breit will have the work done quickly. He has created a novel that could become an Amazon bestseller and even 2015’s biggest movie of the year, but it’s not going to happen until the novel meets minimum standards of composition. In all other respects, this novel is one of the best I have read this year, and I recommend it to any interested in a fast-paced action-adventure story of the first rate.

I was fortunate enough to receive this book as a giveaway winner. It is a well written and complex story. Sadly, a little too complex for me at the moment but I am sure there are a lot of people who would enjoy getting their teeth into such an adventure set in both the future and the past. It may appeal more to men because of the technical details and I found the jumping between viewpoints sometimes confusing.

Solid story, shades of John Birmingham, but ultimately the author's political biases muddy up the storyline slightly. Excellent and admirable work from an amateur alternate historian, and knocks the socks off of Turtledove or Stirling. Excellent action scenes, though characters leave a bit to be desired.

I really loved this book from the first to last page.

Awesome book from start to finish.
It has two of my most favourite subjects, World War 2 and time travel. What more could you want?
I cannot wait for book two to see what happens next.
