D-Day is threatened, but one man could rip the heart of the Nazis—with his bare claws.... He is Michael Gallatin, master spy, lover—and werewolf. Able to change shape with lightning speed, to kill silently or with savage, snarling fury, he proved his talents against Rommel in Africa. Now he faces his most delicate, dangerous mission: to unravel the secret Nazi plan known as Iron Fist. From a parachute jump into occupied France to the lush corruption of Berlin, from the arms of a beautiful spy to the cold embrace of a madman's death machine, Gallatin draws ever closer to the ghastly truth about Iron Fist. But with only hours to D-Day, he is trapped in the Nazis' web of destruction....

1944\. Un agent secret est envoyé derrière les lignes ennemies pour percer un projet nazi enfoui dans les ténèbres. Mais Michael Gallatin n’est pas un espion comme les autres : il a été élevé par les loups. En pleine Seconde Guerre mondiale, à la veille du Débarquement, il est parachuté dans une France occupée où chaque pas peut être le dernier. Sa mission pourrait infléchir le cours de la guerre. Mais son histoire commence bien avant. Recueilli enfant dans les étendues sauvages de Russie et élevé par une meute cachée au cœur d’un palais abandonné, il a appris à maîtriser ce que les autres redoutent : la métamorphose, la violence et l’instinct. Cependant le véritable combat n’est pas de devenir un loup, mais de rester un homme. De la Russie aux réseaux de Résistance, des forêts enneigées aux villes occupées, des ombres de la guerre aux profondeurs d’une mythologie oubliée, L’Heure du loup déploie une aventure d’une ampleur spectaculaire, où espionnage, fantastique et épopée ne font plus qu’un dans un grand moment de lecture.

Der bissige und blutige US-Bestseller. Im Auftrag des britischen Geheimdiensts kämpft sich Michael Gallatin, Meisterspion und Werwolf, vom besetzten Frankreich bis nach Berlin durch. Er soll herausfinden, was sich hinter »Iron Fist« verbirgt, der angeblichen Wunderwaffe der Nazis. Auf seinem Weg begegnet Michael einigen skurrilen Gestalten, etwa dem grausamen Nazioffizier Jerek Blok mit seinem hünenhaften Schützling Treter, der seine Opfer am liebsten zu Tode trampelt oder dem sadistischen Großwildjäger Harry Sandler, der stets von seinem aggressiven Falken Blondi begleitet wird … Es sind nur noch wenige Stunden bis zum D-Day, als Michael in die Hände von Dr. Hildebrand fällt, einem wahnsinnigen Wissenschaftler, der Giftgasexperimente an Kriegsgefangenen durchführt … Stephen King: »Robert McCammon ist einer der besten Horror- und Thrillerautoren.«

"The Hunter from the Woods" marks the much-anticipated return of Michael Gallatin, the lycanthropic hero of Robert McCammon's 1989 classic, "The Wolf's Hour." These all-new, interlinked stories offer a full measure of McCammon's trademark narrative excitement, and comprise a fascinating composite portrait of a unique fictional creation. The volume opens with a pair of brief glimpses into Michael's early life in Russia and his initial recruitment into the British Secret Service. It ends with a haunting vision of the werewolf at twilight. In between, McCammon gives us three stellar novellas depicting different phases of Michael's long, brutal war against Nazi Germany. "Sea Chase" is a nautical tale about the hazards of transporting a defecting German scientist to a place of sanctuary in England. "The Wolf and the Eagle" is the account of an unlikely friendship between rival "men of action" and a harrowing portrayal of a lethal forced march through the North African desert. "The Room at the Bottom of the Stairs" tells of an impossible, ultimately tragic love affair set in the embattled city of Berlin during the latter stages of the war. Erotic, visceral, and filled with moments of desolating horror and unexpected warmth, The Hunter from the Woods is a triumph of imaginative storytelling. Like the best of McCammon's earlier work, it offers intelligent, world-class entertainment. In the process, it shines a welcome new light on one of the most uncommon heroes in contemporary fiction.
