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.
The Hunter from the Woods eBook Robert McCammon
Let me say first hand, Robbert Mccammon is my favorite author in the entire universe. He is amazing. He began in the 80s with the huge demand for horror. He has grown in talent and in topics. This is an outstanding second book for this unlikely hero. Spy? Werewolf? you bethca and its BAD A$$. This character sucks you in. There is nothing better than a second book (or more) with an awesome character. When this came out, the hard copy was a bit pricey for me, so I just purchased the electronic version. I stumbled across this new large paperback (not knowing this was a thing) so ordered it, because you know, you have to have the hard copy for your favorites, and I received a SIGNED COPY!! OMG. I'm so excited.Product details

The Hunter from the Woods eBook Robert McCammon Reviews
This was an excellent book. First off, it's a series of connected short stories; as another reviewer has pointed out, it reads more like a novel than I had been expecting, because each story actually ties into the overall book. The last two stories are the best, but I enjoyed them all (although the one with Michael on a ship was a tougher read). I don't want to spoil anything, but I will say, for those who have read "The Wolf's Hour" this book answers a LOT of questions that I, and other readers, have add about what happened to Michael before and after The Wolf's Hour. When reading the last story I literally got tingles on my skin and just broke out in a giddy smile as the MOST anticipated question from The Wolf's Hour made an appearance.
The best thing I could say about this book is that it really is a revisit of my favorite fictional character. We get to see Michael in all kinds of situations and it really just solidified how great a character Michael is and how great a writer McCammon is. I remember posting on his personal site a few years ago and begging him to revisit this character and I am ECSTATIC that he did. So, thanks Robert. Much appreciated good sir!
Excellent collection of short stories each outlining the various details of certain interesting life events of Michael Gallatin who is the protagonist of The wolfs Hour (TWH). There is an interesting and coherent interweaving of the events of TWH with those of these short stories so that as a whole they hang together well. On balance the writing has the same depth, clarity & imagination as TWH (or any of McCammonsother works). In short, if you read and liked TWH, then you may probably also enjoy the present work. At the very least you should try a sample. As a note, in my opinion to best enjoy the current work you should read/reread TWH first (TWH is presently quite affordable).
I'm not really a big fan of the werewolf stories, but these books are something different. Starting with the Wolfs Hour and followed by the Hunter from the Woods, gives you such rich and satisfying tales. I wish they would make a movie and I wish Mr. McCammon would continue with more stories about Michael Gallitan who is sort of a James Bond who just happens to be a werewolf. I loved these books and was sorry when I finished them. Sit down for a great read, enjoy these books. Robert McCammon does not dissapoint. ever.
The first Gallatin stories were prequels to the events in The Wolf's Hour. And while they were well written they felt kind of well...pointless. Like most prequel stories do. But anyway, they detail his life just before he makes his way of Russia and his adventures in the early days of the war.
The weakest and the most pointless of these is The Sea Chase. Gallatin is supposed to be the main character but really doesn't have much to do with the action but be a bystander. And mentally complain about the shipboard conditions and general hygene of the crew. He had almost nothing to do with the stories resolution, which should have been exciting but just fell flat.
The last two stories were sequels and really were the best of the bunch. And could have been reworked into full lenght novels. Especially Death of a Hunter.
For whatever reason it has been a long time since I read Robert McCammon novel. It's good to be back. It only took a few pages to recall the enjoyable writing style of Mr. McCammon. And to return with tales of Michael Gallatin? Even better. Truly one the most fascinating and enjoyable characters I have ever read. This collection of stories, some short, a couple of longer ones, are all excellent and serve to fill in some time between the larger story already told in "Wolf's Hour". Fast paced and satisfying stories from young Mikhial to older experienced Michael, British Spy. I loved all of it and would be thrilled to see more tales, because there are plenty of open ended references made in this volume to explore. Great read.
McCammon delivers the usual plot twists and tensions we have come to expect--and like-- from the Gallatin series. But his editor is asleep at the wheel. The occasional line is delivered with gravitas at a key point in time and is just plain campy. Sure fantasy pseudo historical fiction isn't for the NEw York Times book review but it doesn't have the be Walker Texas Ranger Either. Some of the actions and decisions and thoughts simply are not compatible with the thoughts of the man he is supposed to be. I also think Michael the man should get more of the traits and tools of the wolf while in man form. His senses should be heightened (he gets snuck up on way too often) his pain threshold much higher (canines aren't hobbled by pain the way humans are. Just watch dogs play someday). And pound for pound he should be far stronger than any man alive. My 45 lb dog can do things my 65lb nephew could only dream of. But perhaps the biggest annoyance for me, because I am a trauma surgeon and understand both the mechanics of injury and its effects, that Mccammon doesn't have a medical consultant review his manuscripts. Much of the injuries portrayed are either implausible or ridiculously impossible. Still, I am a big fan and eager to read the next Matthew Corbett book. And I sincerely hope there is another Gallatin book in the works
