A review by otherwyrld
Wolfhound Century by Peter Higgins
4.0
This is one of those indescribable books that defy categorisation. A small-town policeman in a world that feels like, but is not Soviet Russia, is summoned to the capital to find a terrorist. In doing so, he uncovers a vast conspiracy and finds that he is rather more than important than he ever realised. Swept up in this is a clash of universes, between gigantic mysterious creatures that came from the stars, and the possibility of everything being overwritten by a separate reality that has been stored away in case of disaster. None of which comes anywhere close to describing this book. You just have to read it.
The only flaw is that this is only the first part of the story, and right up to the end you are expecting the final clash to come. It never does, just the clash between the main characters caught up in this tale, which drags a little bit to be honest.
So, how long to the sequel Mr Higgins? What - March 2014? I can't wait that long!
