Deep in the frozen wastes of Siberia, a mining crew unwittingly unleashes an ancient force back into this world. The loss of multiple teams of Spetznaz Special Ops Teams forces the Russian Government to ask for aid from the United States. Initially denied due to current political upheaval, the US agreed to come to their aid when they learned that the problem could threaten the entire globe if left unchecked. Team Odin receives orders to deploy, assess the situation, and eliminate the threat. Due to the unique nature of the mission, Clark requests help from Mika Canowicakte and the other Hotamétaneo’o. Once on the ground, they face a bigger challenge than initially believed. Team Odin must defeat an unstoppable foe while dealing with an adversarial relationship with their Spetznaz counterparts who do not want them there. To make matters worse, rogue elements in their midst are working to undermine the mission and bring about the end of the world as we know it. In the deep shadows of Kholat Syakhl Mountain, the fate of the entire planet will rest in the hands of Major Daniel Clark, Team Odin, and the Hotamétaneo’o. Can they save the world, or will they face Death in Dyatlov Pass?

Wild hunt international teams up with Soviet Spetsnaz to deal with a problem in Siberia. As you can imagine, things do not go smoothly with the Russians except for one Captain that is a story all to herself. There are Yeti's heavily involved as well as savage evil dwarves who control them. A deadly portal that knocks out electronics. Team Odin finds themselves fighting on two fronts and have to overcome espionage, furious waves of attacking Yetis and general strangeness. Clark is once again in the middle of the fray as well as the rest of the crew. Special weapons, Shape shifting Indian allies and magical implements turn the tide for them. Great real fast paced.
Thank you D.A. Roberts for ending my drought and bringing my favorite characters back to action. I think things are getting a little too "Out there" for my taste but I can't quit on Team Odin and the rest of the bunch till everyone is home again. Keep up the good work, maybe please less weirdness next time.
Once again I’m introduced to new characters and D.A Roberts makes me feel for them. Great writing. Favorite series by far. I’m just waiting for a new Apex Predator Book.
I think this is one of his best ones yet. It was wild and of course fantasy but what great fun. I really like the sky’s riding. And I like wild hunt. Keep up the excellent work. It is much appreciate it.
Love Mr. Roberts books especially The Wild Hunt series..Keeps you on the edge of your seat...From Clark, leader, to the Dog Men, you're holding your breath... Horror but of so good
Another great mission for the wild Hunt team. There's nothing more enjoyable than reading about major Clark and his latest fight with cryptid creatures.
The second international mission for Team Odin sees them going to the frozen hinterlands of Russia and beyond. The fans have nicknamed the bright and vibrant universe created by D.A. Roberts, the "DAverse".
D.A. has been called the "Tom Clancy of the cryptid world" due to his painstaking research and attention to detail surrounding his employment of small arms tactics/training and use. No endless magazines of ammo, but believable and sound employment of real world items which allows the reader to fully experience the preternatural millieu of the DAverse. Another title which should be bestowed upon D.A. is that he is also the Spike Lee of the cryptid world. His characters experience the highs, the lows, the joys and the sorrows of life. His DAverse is ever expanding and there are hints, easter eggs, and links sprinkled throughout ALL of his series of books.
To the hinterlands of Russia, the fabled Dyatlov Pass... and then the beyond? Well, you will have to read the book to find out what the beyond actually is and what happens. As a fellow veteran of the US Military, the beyond part tugged at my emotions. It brought a new and rich layer to the character of Daniel Clark. Hence the moniker of tagging D.A. as the "Spike Lee of the cryptid/preternatural world which is the DAverse!
This is by far my favorite D.A. Roberts' book a of right now. I really enjoyed reading this book. I finished in less than 24 hours. I highly recommend reading this. Right from the start it grabbed my attention and would not let it go until the last page. The story is so well written, to the point that you can easily see it as you read along. Even if there's was a dragon, you can still believe it had happened! The characters are so real and vivid that you will feel connected to them. Especially for me because I've read all of Roberts' books, even other series have familiar characters. It makes them seem so real, so well rounded. They almost feel like friends. I will continue to look for the latest book from D.A. Roberts. He is a magical storyteller and one of my absolute favorite authors. Give him a chance to whisk you away too.
I'll be honest, I picked this title hoping there would be some insane supernatural Russian experiment-gone-wrong savaging everyone who visits Dyatlov Pass, because... Dyatlov Pass. What I got was not so much supernatural as cryptid and soldiering, which is fine because I love military horror. But I can't say I'm a huge fan of cryptid horror... so this is more of 3.5 star for me.
I definitely enjoyed getting to know the characters in the squad. And so this is my second foray into this series which I really got interested in because of its Native American characters. That is what is really compelling to me, the mysticism with some of the squad members.
Another epic book in the series. Fast paced, and full of drama and suspense. Continuity was excellent. Many grammatical errors. However the book was excellent. The ending was surprising It really made the book so much better. One area toward the end was totally unexpected! It really made the story so awesome. I expect to see more books in this series. Or possibly another series taking off from this series.
Every story "sucks you in" to the very end! Brings new characters into the group and so many "monsters with evil intentions" Clark and the team's have to fight! Absolutely love the Hotmatanos joining into the fight as well. Can't wait for the return of Greyeagle, Sarah and Jason from the "portal" in one of the next adventures! ;-)
I love to follow the unusual characters and the relationships between the Norse lores, Native American, and Christian theologies. Makes for intriguing and thoughtful reading mixed with abounding action.
This is a fast paced, action, military, sci-fi adventure. Dealing with mythical creatures. I enjoy the main characters. The plot is predictable. But as an all books, the bad guys should lose the good guys Win.
This was a very intense read. There were many moments where I thought Team Odin and the Dog Soldiers were done for. Lots of really cool new story lines I can’t wait to explore.
This series is one of the best creature series I've ever had the pleasure of reading. Grabbing the reader from the first sentence. A wonderful spend of horror and legend and military and police. Just a great read.
This was another great read. I love the wild hunt. It is interesting how mixed the beliefs are in this group but they stick together. The only gripe I have is the words/spelling is a bit sloppy but not enough to stop me wanting another read gas.
The team head to Russia to help the Russians try and close a portal letting through dark magic, Yeti, and dwarfs. And Clark learns some surprising information.
D.A. Roberts is back with the next iteration of the supremely entertaining series that if he published a book a week would be to slow. I have come to respect and enjoy experiencing the lives of these brave men and women. They are written so well that it is impossible to put down the book. As I read I can imagine sitting in the bar on a stool in the corner and listening with all the attention I can muster to every step of the lives so richly lived. May Odin bless D.A. and to all of our fallen brothers and sisters , Until Valhalla … May our journeys and battles never end.
I felt that with each character there were a lot of stories and laughs that needed to be told. And there were so many I was having a hard time telling them apart and remembering them. Story is still interesting though and I like the Norse theology. Seeing azgaurd was interesting… it seemed like a great place to visit for a vacation but would you really want to go there, eat and drink, tell stories in a hall forever? Seems … a little boring after a while.
D.A. Roberts knocks it outa the park!! This book was so exciting I found myself holding my breath during some of the battles and I had to remind myself to just breathe. If you love monsters and mayhem, the fight of good against evil, heroes (both men and women) from all walks of life, you will love D.A. Roberts. His world building is amazing and his characters cross-over to different books in the DAverse so they start to feel like old friends. His books never disappoint!
