I don't know where you guys are coming from on this book. It's TERRIBLE. The author never describes anything, and hurries through the plot as if he's in some sort of weird race to reach the end.

Things happen that you're never told about and are referred to later as if you were there when they happened, except you weren't...

I couldn't have told you what Jay looked like in either human or crinos form by the end of the book, because the author never bothered to describe the hero. He never bothered to describe any of the other characters either, other than the metal hand. Big whoop. He can't even decide what the metal hand looks like. Sometimes it's seamless and smooth, other times it's scaly, other times it's mechanical-looking and heavily jointed. What the hell?

The Uktena are stupid as well. And the staff? Geeze. Anytime they want the staff to do something new, it apparently does it. I guess it's the swiss army knife of staffs! Pretty cool for a bunch of people who aren't supposed to know very much about it in the first place, eh?

And what's with the girl? Her entire description is "the prettiest girl Jay had ever seen". Wow. That sure sums it up! I know what she looks like now! And after talking to him for about 5 minutes, suddenly she's totally in love with him and doesn't care that her dad plans to pimp her out to the first garou kid to come knocking? Where is her motivation for even liking Jay at all?

This book sucked hard. I'm glad I bought it used so the author never got a dime from me.

I enjoyed this book, and it gave a great taste of the Garou, but Over all White wolf got distracted with the Vampire books and until just recently almost completly ignored the Werewolves. it has been about 4 years since I bought and read this one, it's about time for the sequel.

Nice book, where in the Heck is the sequal?

Call to battle was a great book. It got me started reading the vampire clan novels which are also great. However it kind of leaves me hanging because I bought it two years ago and I'm still waiting for a sequel. It is however a great way to learn about the "World of Darkness" and is a great book in its own respect. If you can tell me when a sequel is scheduled please e-mail me at north84@hotmail.com

This book is a great way to begin learning about the Werewolves who exist in the World of Darkness, a fictious although very close to our own society where werewolves, vampires, magic users, ghosts, faries, and many other super natural creatures live, enduring out the lives of powerful, in-human beings. It's well written and exciting, full of colorful imagery and an odd twist on the plot, often causing you to wonder "what'll happen next?"

Call To Battle is a very good addition to the World of Darkness werewolf novels. If you're not familiar with the Garou (World of Darkness werewolves) this book is a good starting point. I hope the next Jay No-Name novel comes soon! I wish the publisher would make it easier to keep track of the World of Darkness novel publication schedule!

I have read many Sci-Fi and Fantasy books in my life and none compare to this on. The plot is very good and the charaters are well develeped. It is very interesting too.
