The Risen World #4
A Wolf Stalking
Joe Urban has a choice: save his daughter or the world. He can’t do both and he’s running out of time.
When a reclusive scientist realises his cure for the disease killing his daughter has apocalyptic side effects, his university destroy his lab and demand his research. They don’t want to be the people who unlock the human lupine gene. No one wants to unleash the so-called werewolf disease on humanity. But without funding, Joe will lose his daughter. So when a vicious stranger promises him resources in return for a finished formula, Joe faces a choice: infect the world or save his child.
As Joe wrestles with the implications of what he has created, the deaths begin. Always at full moon. Always horrific. The disease is spreading. Joe makes his decision. As he does, he is forced to reveal a secret he has hidden for years, one which changes the world for ever.

“Truth is a war; science is my weapon’.”
“It’s only wrong when the opposition are doing it. They use torture; we use enhanced interrogation. They are invaders; we are liberators. We conceal the truth to protect you; they do it to deceive you.”
Dark, oppressive and grim, a paranormal and psychological thriller with gritty and horrifying undertones. A thrilling and twisted story! The story evolves with mystery and intrigue at every turn, a twisted and scary reality that had me glued to the book without consciousness of time. How our childhood can define our adulthood, depending on the strength of our mind and psyche. The flashbacks in conversations and thoughts of the characters are very informative to understand the personality of the protagonist and the rest of the characters. Just our basic fears, insecurities, form us as we grow up. The plot is so realistic it draws you in, absorbs your soul, makes you aware of your own harsh reality. The lengths the protagonist-a scientist- goes to save his sick daughter and create a cure, a cure that could result in a curse and detrimental to humans. The internal battle to sacrifice her life to save humanity from terrible horrors is a constant throughout the premise. It left me breathless, like a heavy weight on my chest, a pressing pressure that wouldn’t let me breath, a crushing feeling in my heart and choking sensation in my throat, I had to Will myself to not fall into such desperate and depressing situations. A truly impressive storyline, worth a read!

What did I think of this book? I’m gonna tell you what I think of it. It’s dull, boring, dull, dull, dull!
First, I was totally drawn to this book because of its excellent, horrific cover.
Second, the synopsis sounded like something evil is going down!
Third, l just love werewolves. The scary kind.
This book is scary. Not!
A former university professor is working on trying to locate the gene that causes lycanthropy (although lycanthropy is a mental disorder). When his school pulls the plug on his research, he leaves London and returns to the Czech Republic.
While there, he exchanges emails with someone from his former school, he reads about werewolf attacks on the internet, he meets a journalist who he talks about werewolves, a sinister man kidnaps him and they talk about werewolves.
Talk, talk, talk! That’s all that happens in this book. Talk about werewolves, talk about his daughter who is supposedly a werewolf. Just talk! I read 63% of this book and all I read about is talking. No werewolf action! No werewolf hunting people and no people hunting down dangerous werewolves.
If you love to read about the good old-fashioned werewolf horror, you will hate this book!🤬

Wow!! What can I say about this engrossing and captivating book? Be prepared for plot twists. The writing is so tight that the rug gets pulled out from under your feet. Just when you think you have figured everything out, there’s another twist. A definite must read. I’m going back and reading the previous books in the series.l

Excellent! A thrilling page-turner, with a cast of great characters and a story that will keep you reading non-stop until the end.
I love the concept of a genetically transmitted disease, a very dormant recessive gene than can unleash lycanthropy. I love that we soon discovered that Joe is a very unreliable narrator, even in his own head. I love that we really don't have a clue about what's going on, what's true and what's a lie, who is a friend and who a foe.
The story is simply fascinating, Joe's head is a scary place, but the world? The world is even scarier.
A most recommended read for those who enjoy the genre.

Well, this was a lot different than I was expecting but from a master writer I should have known better. This is another one of those books that starts slowly and then you find yourself engrossed unable to put it down. Recommended read.
