Summary
On the eve of D-Day, a British secret agent with unique powers goes behind Nazi lines.
Michael Gallatin is a British spy with a peculiar talent: the ability to transform himself into a wolf. Although his work in North Africa helped the Allies win the continent in the early days of World War II, he quit the service when a German spy shot his lover in her bed. Now, three years later, the army asks him to end his retirement and parachute into occupied Paris. A mysterious German plan called the Iron Fist threatens the D-Day invasion, and the Nazi in charge is the spy who betrayed Michael’s lover. The werewolf goes to France for king and country, hoping for a chance at bloody vengeance.

Ok but struggling with it.
I am not a fan of war books or of historical novels.
This is mostly a WW2 book with some fantasy in it.
The fantasy is ok, the idea is nice but it is simply not my cup of tea.
More than half way trough and I am very curious about the Nazi plan that is only hinted at until now.
No sign of the SF in this yet.
No magick besides the werewolf part and that is not in your face.
Not sure I will finish it but it is a good book and clear about what it is.
I tried it out of curiosity.

Outstanding
I've had this book in different forms for most of my adult life. It's a fantastic read and listen. Its narrated well by Simon Prebble, who really brings the story to life.

Wasn’t sure at first...
Not my usual type of book, but I thought I would give it a try. Starts ok, but while listening to it in the car with my teenage son, I could have done without the graphic sex bit.... the story get much better as you get into it... The reader does a really strong job. Overall worth a listen.

Don't usually do werewolves but..
Devoured the Matthew Corbett series because the writing was always good. Characters and storyline fantastical but very engaging. Same could be said for this. No matter the 'unbelievability' of the situation the writing brings it all to life. Bit more bone crunching and flesh ripping than I'd usually stomach but then what else would there be in a werewolf book =} Thumbs up to a good narrator too. Easy to listen to which makes all the difference 👍

Taut, tense and thrilling
I don't do war books! This was an entertaining and thrilling story merging a believable fantasy into a plausible past. I found myself gripped my Michael tale. A real page tuner. Thanks Mr McCammon. Awesome read.

surprisingly good
it's an unusual storyline, a spy/lycanthrope and I want sure I was going to like it but it works surprisingly well. Good storytelling and interesting characters and well narrated too, it's a thumbs up from me.
