About the author

John R. Phythyon, Jr. wishes he were a superhero or a magician, but, since he has not yet been bitten by a radioactive spider or gotten his letter from Hogwarts, he writes adventure stories instead. He is the author of the Wolf Dasher series of fantasy-thriller mashup novels, as well as several short stories, a two-act comedy, and numerous game manuals. He won awards for the latter and hopes to make millions with the former.

In the meantime, he lives in Lawrence, Kansas with his wife, their children, a dog, and a cat. His current projects include the next novel in the Wolf Dasher series, world peace, and desperately wishing for the Cincinnati Bengals to win a Super Bowl before he dies.

Delightful tale of espionage and subterfuge. Wolf Dasher is a wonderful character.

Nothing about John Wick

It has a very misleading title. I'm thankful it was sort so it didn't waste too much of my time.

Quick and action packed introduction to the Wolf Dasher universe. An interesting blend of James Bond type action with Fantasy tropes. Mimic modern day socio-political events and transfer them to a fantasy setting with elves, magic etc. This short story does enough to showcase the author style, pacing and imagination and make me wants to get into the complete series.

fena değildi. john wick filmine göre gidecek olursam, birinci filmden önceki zamanda geçiyor. çocukluk yıllarında ona borcu olan bir adamdan ödemesini alıyor ^^
