Ransom #2
Prey
Legend. Outcast. Free Man.
The natural enemy of every free man is his own government . . .
He has gone by many names during his long life. Heretic. Rebel. Ransom. Today he is called Cantrell. A beleaguered man of awesome strength and extraordinary power, he is the last bastion of rugged individualism in a world where justice and liberty can no longer protect men like him.
. . . and the natural enemy of every government is a free man.
After centuries spent fighting the forces of evil and oppression, he has come to this small town in Arkansas to live in peace. But peace is nowhere to be found. Violent hate crimes tear the land apart. An ancient enemy from his distant past pits brother against brother. And the future of the free world rests with him, the lone wolf who can never be truly free now that he has become the hunted once again.

The 3rd Novel in the Human/Werewolf Saga
WWJ has continued writing about our man without a country, but whom is still attempting to prevent further escalation of hybrid. This storyline has the primary character living in the hills of eastern Missouri. The wolves have come to the Prince's assistance numerous times, but as these events unfold the true meaning of the immortals comes clearer. This is an excellent read for the gender.....ER

Shapeshifting and immortal? Whew!
I really like the underlying story of this series. Shapeshifting people who can't be killed provides the properties of this series that has intrigued me from the first book. I do find some of the political aspects of the book were adding to the storyline but, again, I felt a lot of the information was too much. However, it was well written and didn't make me want to stop reading as I still felt it was a 4 star book.

Strange. 3 immortals. Several groups of government haters that fate each other.black activists skin heads KKK rejects several underground groups. Wanting to over through the government. Plots to kill president and speaker of the house. Plenty of hatred by several activists groups plus hatred within the government itself. All heading towards a future revolution. An immortal trying to s5op it all. Who has seen it happen over and over. Real messed up real crazy crazy people every one against everyone fighting murder bombings shootings racism in all directions. Toward the establishment the blacks the Jews. Worshippers of Hitler. Unreal. Hard to keep up with it all.

Not up to previous books
After reading the first two books in this series, I was disappointed with all the loose ends in this one. Some additional characters didn't really add to the plot.

Misogynistic, racist, homophobic, ultra-conservative, anti-everything with very very very little actual shapeshifting or horror. Complete loser of a book.
