Wolf Isle

by Alan Thompson

The Wolf Isle Fellows, an elite group of scholars and thinkers, are delivered to a deserted island and tasked by their host – one of the world’s richest men – with finding solutions to mankind’s most intractable problems. Their initial enthusiasm soon evaporates – the island is completely cut off from the outside world and the Fellows, deprived of their usual sources of inspiration, quickly descend into chaos. At the same time, mysterious circumstances combine to prevent them from leaving the island and, when nature intervenes, the situation turns deadly. Pitted against brutal men and a menacing locale, the Fellows are forced into a harrowing journey to save themselves.

About the author

Born in Danville, Kentucky, on January 31, 1949, Mr. Thompson grew up in his beloved Chapel Hill, North Carolina. A 1966 graduate of Chapel Hill High School, he received his B.A. from the University of Kentucky in 1970, and his J.D. from the same institution in 1973. He has practiced law for the past forty years, primarily in Atlanta, Georgia, and now resides in Georgetown, South Carolina. His civil trial work extended to dozens of jurisdictions throughout the United States, Australia and England, and he contributed to several professional journals and treatises dealing with his particular area of expertise, construction law.
He began writing seriously in 2008, and his first novel, A Hollow Cup, was published in 2011. He and his wife Barbie have two sons, one a lawyer in Salt Lake City, the other a Navy helicopter pilot currently stationed in Jacksonville Beach, Florida. Mr. Thompson plays an occasional round of bad golf, and he and his bride can sometimes be found having a late-afternoon cocktail or glass of wine at the beach.
