Project Bloodborn #3
Wolf Killer
Once a month on the first day of the full moon I turn into an uncontrollable 400-pound, seven foot killing machine with teeth like daggers and foot-long claws.
My name is Ded Brenner … and I am NOT a werewolf.
And rest assured – when I catch up to the people that did this to me … well, let’s just say – Click, click, boom, BOOM!
Brenner wasn’t a werewolf.
He was the result of a secret US Army experiment called The Bloodborn Project. An attempt to create a government controlled Super Soldier.
The only thing was, no one asked him if he wanted to participate.
So, he had escaped. And for the last fifty years he had been living on the backroads, and in the unknown small towns of America. Never aging. Searching for a cure for his affliction, while at the same time avoiding the dark ops experts who were looking to reacquire him.
But just because he had the ability to become a seven foot, four hundred pound killing machine, didn’t mean that Brenner was bad. In fact, he lived his life according to a strict code –
‘Never abuse a woman, nor hurt a child. Do not lie, cheat or steal. These things are for lesser men. Protect the weak against the evil strong. And never allow thoughts of gain to lead you into the pursuit of evil.’
And anyone who transgressed the Wolfman’s strict moral code was sure to have a bad time.
Because they would soon discover that, sometimes the things that go bump in the night are real.
Brenner – for when bad things need to happen to bad people.
I was looking to create a character that brought to mind the high plains drifters of old. A western hero that rode into town on a dark horse, delivered justice and retribution in equal measure and then rode off into the sunset.
A modern-day gunslinger with a dark secret.
I hope that I did the premise justice.
Project Bloodborn is a Shapeshifter, Werewolf novel. It should be popular for all those searching for Urban Fantasy, Vampires, Ghosts, Magic and Psychics.

Loved the book, actually the whole series this far. I have read books 1 &2, and they are hard to put down. Very simple idea vietnam vet, turned into a werewolf in secret scientific experiment, Ok.long story short Brenner(werewolf), has trouble accepting this, (I would too)! Brenner is a good man, a cross of lone ranger/high plains drifter, who sets things right. Of course there are people after him, including one person who was experimented on also. Lots of action, but brenner or the wolfman takes care of it. Great books, just bought #4 the warrior, also dont miss the watchers in this, there is more than meets the eye to our werewolf!!

Brenner is a one (wolf) man wrecking crew. He fights for the little guy, but the head of Project Bloodborn wants him back and doesn't really care about the bodies left behind to get him. Good series

Fantastic reading
I've read all three books and have really enjoyed them. Brenner is a good hearted person who becomes a wolf .He helps people in need and dispatches the bad guys. We all need a hero .Hope there's another book on the way.

The synopsis of the first book, Wolf Man:
Brenner is not a werewolf...
He is the result of a secret US Army experiment. The creation of a government controlled Super Soldier.
And no one asked if he wanted to take part.
So, he escaped. And for the last fifty years has been living in the backroads and the small unknown towns of America. Never aging. Searching for a cure. At the same time avoiding the dark ops experts who are looking for him.
But just because he can become a seven foot, four hundred pound killing machine, it doesn't mean that Brenner is bad. In fact, he sticks to a strict code.
And like the High Plains drifters of old, anyone who crosses the Wolfman's code is sure to suffer.
They took his humanity ... and now it's time for payback.
Synopsis of Wolf Killer:
The story of Brenner and Griff continues in this book. A couple of old army buddies. Vietnam veterans. One old and one young. One human, one wolf. Together they fight evil. The bad guys this time is a conglomerate of international oil tycoons doing what baddies do. Hurting innocent people. An academic genius and his daughter are on the run. And that government military group who experimented on Ded is still chasing him and catching up!
The synopsis of the first book was taken from GoodReads at https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/36178703-wolf-man on 14/06/2021. The synopsis of the current book, Wolf Killer, is provided by me.
My Thoughts:
Shortest book in the series thus far, at 195 pages.
So, in this book our heroes are now travelling together. We are also given a little glimpse into Griff's family life. A sister and sole family. And the fact that being a hero is a thankless job, in between fighting the bad guys.
I looovve Cloe's sassiness for a nine-year-old!!! Specially the panic in Griff's eyes at the thought of having to take care of a kid! Yes, I'm a sucker for bad-ass characters losing it when it comes to children. (he he he) And then I cried when PFC Lenny Kozlowski died! So this book made me laugh and made me cry...
I reckon that this book is titled "Wolf Killer" is because this is the turning point for Sergeant Solomon Hopewell... Just guessing, because the titles of the books in this series does not necessarily relate to the book itself.
Still a violent read, not recommended for young readers.

Decent continuation from the series, still enjoying all the werewolf action, but the plot is showing some serious holes capable of sinking a ship, so in this installment, Brenner finally sees another were in action and for someone looking for either an explanation or a cure for his -curse- he is really blaze about the whole affair, merely considering another weird thing in his week, instead of some long needed explanation for what’s going on with him. Not to mention that a wealthy Oil company CEO manage in a week what the U.S government hasn't been able to do in 50 years that is to locate Brenner whereabouts and predict his path. Makes you wonder what have the military high ranking personnel of the country has been doing all this time.

Phenomenal
This is my third book in the saga and one word that would come to mind to describe it is better. Better than the last book. Which was better than the first book. Which was awesome in and of itself. The fact that the author manages to make each book more outstanding is highly impressive because the first book was top tier. Each book is not leaps and bounds better but predictably, expectedly better which is almost more noteworthy.

Crooks bewar6.
This series is one of the best l have read. Definitely keeps you interested and l just couldn't put this book down.
It is a bit bloody in parts but what these people did leaves you feeling it was well deserved.
I would recommend this series and look forward to the next book.

Excellent book!
Just as good as the first two. It was really full of action. I was sad when I finished it. It left me wanting more. I just hope there are more to come in the future. I wait in anticipation!

Incredible Series
This is as good as urban fantasy gets. I read about 100 urban fantasy books a year. Craig Zerf just gets better and better. When the series gets bundled into one book I will buy them all.

As with the first two books of this series, Wolf Killer was hard to put down. I would have given 5 stars, because I really liked the book, but like Stephen King there was too much vulgar language.

These books are just the continuation of the same thing. Nothing new, no development, nothing but the same thing over and over.
