February 13, 2025I don’t know what the deal is with all the Reichanthropy, but Nazis and werewolves have made excellent occult bedfellows for some time. I hesitate to read this one because it will be difficult to live up to the snarling glory of that cover (and boy does it put much modern cover design to shame), but the hunt for the best werewolf novel must go on.

WerewolveSS had the potential to be a great story. I mean, what could go wrong with a story about werewolves and Nazis? The gist of the story is that the Nazis found and trapped a werewolf somewhere in Eastern Europe and by 1944, they had the means via experimentation to create a platoon or so of SS werewolf soldiers. When even Hitler knew the war was lost, the werewolves became plan B, essentially creating terror and such behind the enemy lines.
The long prologue consists of a group of special ops folk from various Allied nations deep in the Bavarian hinterlands when they stumbled across an actual castle with SS troops. Little did they know they were also werewolves! Only two men survived, a Scot (Mac) and an American (Hardy), but they fudged the final report, omitting the werewolf detail.
Flash forward to 1990 and the story begins with Hardy's daughter Dannie, who is an assistant professor in New England somewhere. Hardy arrives for a visit in time for the Homecoming game and while there, spots the leader of the werewolf SS pack, only he has not aged a day since the war. Hardy knows that the Nazi werewolf story is not yet over!!
Ok, good set up, but even for 1990 this novel is horribly sexist, with Dannie being 'plucky' for a woman, but oh so needing a big, strong man to save her from tragedy. Ahern really plays up the macho, he-man here, with the male heros all basically hairy chested action heros. Ahern was known in the 80s and 90s for his pulp action stories and obviously knows his gunz, and lots of loving detail depicted a wide range of them. This was more of an action hero tale with lots of gunz, gunz, gunz than a horror story per se. Yes, some good action, but so many coincidences along the way you really had to suspend belief a little too far. I wanted to like this more, especially given the killer cover (if you look closely, you can see the swastikas in the beast's eyes!), but poor editing and too much rah rah macho man detracted from the horror. 2.5 stars, rounding up for the cover!

Nazi werewolves; what's not to like? Just in case you don't get the subtlety of the two capital letters at the end of the title, there's a slavering beast on the cover with Swastikas in its eyes.

Jerry Ahern and his wife, Sharon step out of the full action genre and add a bit of horror elements to this book. Not a lot, but still. We start off at the end of WWII. Allied soldiers cross paths with a group of elite SS experiments. WerewolveSS. The perfect killing machine. 40 years later one of the two survivors, an American, runs across the leader of the wolves at a college football game. These Werewolves are out to start a fourth Reich.

The Allies knew Hitler ordered the development of many secret weapons, desperately attempting to change the tides of the war. But it did not prepare them for what they’d find on that eventful day in 1945. What they stumbled on behind those castle walls in a remote Bavarian castle was the stuff of nightmares. Forty years later, Evan Hardy discovers the nightmare isn’t over. It’s here in the US… and he hasn’t aged!
Werewolves? Nazis? This seemed like a slam dunk recipe for success. I mean, McCammon’s THE WOLF’S HOUR was a pulse-pounding thrill ride that I never wanted to end. Ahh, but just because you have all the ingredients at your disposal, it doesn’t mean you’re guaranteed a wonderful meal. The premise of WEREWOLVESS is solid - Nazi weapons that have been laying dormant, waiting for their moment. The problem is the execution, or lack thereof.
WEREWOLVESS is a joint collaboration between husband and wife, Jerry and Sharon Ahern. I’ve witnessed many collective efforts where both authors pulled it off seamlessly. It doesn’t feel like the case here. First, the Aherns needed an editor in the worst way. For every wonderful paragraph that flows smoothly with beautiful prose, they would immediately follow it with a clunky abomination that made you, the reader, cringe. Second, one of the main protagonists, Dannie, Evan’s grown daughter, made one horrible decision after another, so much so, you rooted for her throat to be ripped out. Third, the plot payoff felt ripped out of a rejected James Bond story. Add the usual sexist portrayal of the female characters that you find in the late 80s/early 90s action tales, and I found my interest waning.
It wasn’t all bad, but there wasn’t much new or interesting worthy of recommendation. If the premise sounds interesting, and you haven’t read McCammon’s superb THE WOLF’S HOUR, do yourself a favor and pick that up instead.

Crazy ride! Gets into the history of the wehrwolf movement of the third rich in its final days. Also, real werewolves. Great writing by Jerry Ahern, an author who typically writes action. Would recommend!

My second attempt at reading this one, and this time I made it through to the end. So what caused me to abandon it the first time? The structure. This book starts off with an Author’s note, then Of Historical Interest…, then a Prologue, and THEN - 47 pages in - we get to Chapter One and the story proper starts. There are much better ways of getting that information across and much of it was unnecessary anyway, clearly this husband and wife team don’t believe in that old adage about hooking the reader on the first page.
So, here’s the story: During the war, Hitler’s forces found a real live werewolf somewhere in Europe and were able to analyse its blood and inject a group of soldiers, who then became super strong and able to change at will - with the help of a little device that emits a high pitched noise (I know, the science is really ropey and never adequately explained) - so they don’t have to hang around waiting for a full moon to transform. Cut to present day and an ageing WWII veteran recognizes one of this Master Race, now living in the US, from an encounter with him back in 1945 - Oh yes, they don’t age either, so this guy still looks the same. Anyway, without going into too much detail, a big plot is discovered and we’re off to hunt down the Nazi werewolves before they take over the world with a slight variation on Hitler’s original plan.
I don’t usually call attention to missing punctuation and typos - they slip by us all, me included - but when you add them to the frequent terrible grammar, it really does start to annoy you after a while. I thought maybe this guy was a beginner when he wrote this in 1990, but when I looked him up I found he’s written over 50 novels! So there’s really no excuse for writing sentences like: “Richard stepped forward, raised the gun, then Richard fired, the creature falling at Richard’s feet.” He does that lots of times; mentioning someone’s name two or three times in the same sentence - absolutely horrible writing! By the way, has anyone ever come across the word ‘scrinched’ before? i.e. He scrinched up his eyes. It’s not in my dictionary. I also have to mention one other thing that made me laugh. Our heroine goes to England at one stage and after cooking dinner goes to the kitchen where: “She put the remains of the pot-roast in whatever the British equivalent of Tupperware is.” Uh, it’s Tupperware, love. Hilarious!
Frankly, there isn’t a whole lot to recommend here. The final quarter of the book builds to the point where you think there’s no possible way good can triumph in this story, and when it does, it’s pretty unbelievable: [Spoiler Alert] If you were planning on taking over the world by infecting everyone and turning them into werewolves, 1) why would you develop an antidote? And 2) why would you make up several gallons of said antidote and leave it lying around where anyone could find it?
A good idea that never transforms into something with real bite.

A lot of other reviewers were really into this book so I was super pumped. It's got Nazis and werewolves as well as a WONDERFUL TITLE. So why only two stars? Because if you promise me Nazi Werewolves, you better give me some good Nazi werewolves. With the exception of one flashback, the book mostly takes place in the "present" (I'm guessing late 70s/early 80s). Fine, they can be neo-Nazis, right? No, they are mostly just werewolves with a pretty stupid plan to establish a fourth reich.
It suffers from a few bad tropes: for starters, the female lead is awful. She's supposed to be an audience identification character but she's mostly an incompetent female stereotype that has weird dad issues (she talks more than once about how attractive her dad is compared to her boyfriend). If that was an isolated incident I'd think it was odd but dismiss it, but there are multiple instances of discussing how attractive old men are. What's more, the main character's boyfriend is a pastiche of liberal stereotypes (he's a psychologist that hates guns) that sets him up as opposition to the manly vets that fight the wolves. I think this book would appeal to you more if you were an old dude that liked guns and hot young girls but I am not that old yet I guess.
The book also suffers from "one of these creatures is unstoppable but hundreds are easily dismissed" syndrome. A half dozen werewolves destroy many men but one macho senior citizen can dispatch dozens without breaking a sweat. Boring and lazy.
Speaking of boring and lazy, the plot of the werewolves is based loosely off the actual Nazi "werewolf" program to disrupt Allied occupation and I get that and appreciate it. One wonders why the plan would work better in the present day than in 1944 when they really needed it. You'd think they'd come up for something better over 30+ years of exile. Also, why in America? Why not in Germany? I have many questions about the implementation of this plan.
There's more, but the biggest issue to be quite honest is just that it is predictable and boring. I really like werewolves and like Nazi villains but this didn't scratch my itch at all. It's not bad, it's just hopelessly mediocre.

There was more foul language in this than I would have liked, the "F word" in particular was overused to the point of being ineffective, there was only one scene where I felt it really had the intended impact. The romantic subplot could have been done better, but considering this is a horror novel, that's not much of a problem. The biggest issue I had was with a character who is seemingly killed, and reappears only to immediately be killed off again. Felt like he either should have died the first time, or stuck around longer before he really gets killed.
I liked the suspense and build-up as the main character, Dannie, tries to find out what happened to her father and whether there really are werewolves. I had never seen a werewolf story take things to the scale this one did, which made it more interesting. Stein was an excellent villain, behaving like a gentleman while never letting you forget how truly evil he is, if anything that behavior just emphasized how twisted he was. It didn't get predictable either, I genuinely did not know how it was going to end, and I liked the way things wrapped up.
Overall I did like this book, and could see a bigger horror fan than me enjoying much more.

I believe these authors primarily write action. It shows in this book. This story suffers from a lot of superfluous descriptions about guns and ammo, none of which are really relevant or interesting to the story. The actions scenes were followed up by redundant descriptions to newly introduced characters of what just took place, and that made this novel a chore to read. This should have been a DNF.

Going through the lists here, I see this couple has written myriad books but WerewolveSS is the only one I ever came across. I've had this novel since 1990 and I'm certain I read it then but I just re-read it and don't remember a bit of it from before. So...I see this as a new book.
In 1945, somewhere in Europe, Evan Hardy and 16-year-old Hugh MacTavish, members of a combination American-British group, are the only survivors of an attack by SS soldiers which is so horrifying and unbelievable, they falsify their reports of what happen. Years later, when at a college football game, Evan sees a man he recognizes as the leader of that deadly squadron, but still young, looking as he had that day in 1945, he confronts the man, and that's his undoing. A few days later, Evan is found dead of a heart attack and his daughter Dannie decides to discover the truth...of what really happened to her father and who the blond man is.
She manages to get in touch with Hugh MacTavish who is now in some section of the British Secret Service and is abruptly and horribly thrown into a life and death struggle as creatures controlled by the man, Dr. Stein, come after her. With the help of David Mallory, Mac's young protege, Dannie returns to America, there to begin her struggle to discover the truth. What she learns is more unbelieving than the worst horror novel...Hitler's Werewolf unit of the SS was exactly that. Injected with the blood of a genuine Russian werewolf, the young men of that unit were able to transform into beasts, enabling them to kill without fear of destruction since they heal automatically when wounded. Near immortal, they are also unable to age, and now they're after the three people who can reveal their secret to the world, that the SS is about to rise again, and turn the world into a holocaustic deluge of blood and death.
Other than being an engrossing horror novel, the one highlight I found is that two of the main characters are so-called senior citizens. Evan is in his 70's, and Hugh, considerably younger is around 65, yet both maintain enough strength and stamina to fight to the death, whether it's with weapons or fists.
It's an exciting tale, full of physical action, and a brief bit of romance which doesn't detract from the overall plot a bit. The plot does seem to follow a few cliches throughout (and I can't go into further detail without giving Spoilers), but in actuality that doesn't hurt the story at all. My only complaint is the opening ending which indicates either a sequel or merely leaving the reader wondering.
All in all, it's a bloody, gory, adventurous, twist on an equally bloody gory bit of history, and a very good horror read.

Nazis and werewolves...how can you go wrong with that combo?
When Evan Hardy, one of two survivors of a Werewolf SS attack back in 1945 sees the man who lead that attack 30 years later, he doesn't hesitate to confront him. Of course the man denies that he's the man Hardy fought and accuses the old man of being insane and walks away. When Hardy is found dead a few days later, his daughter Dannie refuses to believe he had a heart attack and seeks out his old friend and fellow survivor, Hugh MacTavish in England to help.
Soon Hugh, Dannie, and Assistant David Mallory are up to their ears in werewolves chasing them all over England and back to the states. They learn Stein is exactly who he says he isn't, and is planning an all-out massacre by activating his troups and slaughtering everyone in the area. Since the bite of these creatures can also turn someone, there are soon many more werewolves who weren't part of the original group but are now bloodthirsty beasts ready to join and kill.
It's a long, hard, and bloody fight, and there are a few cliches to be found along the way, but all in all, this is a very thrilling, if slightly disturbing story. The method of activating the werewolf transformation is a unique one. My only objection throughout the whole thing is Dannie's choice of what to wear when being chased by werewolves intent on one's instant destruction. She chooses a blouse and skirt! Why, in the name of anything, would a woman about to be running for her life wear a skirt? There's plenty of climbing over rooftops, down fire escapes, diving into icy rivers, and crawling over fences. Each time, she has to hoist up her skirt, or clasp it tightly out of the way so she can perform these athletic feats and while I read, all I could think was...why didn't she simply put on a pair of jeans? Was this to show her independence, or simply her stubbornness, that she was going to remain feminine, even if it meant she tripped over her skirt and got bitten in the bargain? It was one plot device that should've been corrected because all it revealed was a lack of commonsense and a great deal of stupidity..
Other than that, I enjoyed the book and recommend it.

This book is just absolutely horrendous. I only got about 30 pages in before I had to just stop and put the whole thing down for good.
This book reads like a hastily written rough draft. There are even contradicting sentences in the same paragraph!
Shame on this publisher for putting this book out there...the idea had great potential.

This is one of the better, serious werewolf books that I've read. I love the concept of tying it into Hitler and the fact that werewolves can basically live until their killed.
Great book, really enjoyed it

This book feels written by two opposing authors with little communication on narrative coherency. That being said, the opening sequence is wonderfully powerful and an absolutely intriguing premise that has clearly inspired many modern were-tales written after.

A neat central premise and a some tightly written action scenes.
