Product Description

Russell Shepard was just a boy when the first footage of a living werewolf was authenticated and broadcast. As he grew, the lycanthropic outbreak was a constant. During Russell's adolescence he watched with the rest of the world as "outbreak" turned into "epidemic." Now, as an adult, the epidemic had become a pandemic, reaching every nation and turning the scientific community on its head.

Still, those unfortunate few who'd been contaminated remained a notable minority. Spectacular research facilities peppered the globe, designed to study the infection. Specially trained urban tactical units protected the population at large, capturing and containing the creatures for analysis until a cure could be developed.

All of this fascinated Russell, as it did everyone he knew, but there was an entire global community dedicated to helping the victims of lycanthropic infection and eventually producing a cure. There was no need to panic. At least that was what Russell had been told all his life by television personalities and politicians alike. Just don't do anything stupid. Follow the rules and the odds of encountering an actual werewolf would remain blissfully remote.

And so Russell's consideration of werewolves remained passive. It remained passive, that is, until the night he was bitten.

Werewolves are real and the world has mobilized, brutally, to crush both the contagion that creates them and the individuals who have become infected. After Russell Shepard narrowly survives a werewolf attack, he is haunted by dreams of a place and time he has never been, and hunted by those who would end his life immediately, without remorse. He is propelled along a path that will bring him face to face with the forces determined to contain and destroy the threat he himself now represents.

This is a darker, more dangerous Joshua Dagon - more engaging and thought-provoking than ever, boldly dissecting and detailing the timeless dangers that confront humanity in every age, in every society.

3.0 out of 5 stars Could have benefited from some judiciaous editing, June 8, 2009

This review is from: Into the Mouth of the Wolf (Kindle Edition)
Into the Mouth of the Wolf was one of those books I stumbled across while browsing. It sounded interested so I purchased it. On the whole I enjoyed much of the book as more and more was revealed about the lycanthropes. Dagon took some basic werewolf lore and expanded on it in unique ways.

The one thing about the book I didn't care for is Dagon's ability to reproduce very authentic-sounding dialogue right down the the "er"s and "um"s. There are scenes that seem in danger of going on and on and on. It seems the book could have stood some editing to tighten up some of the scenes. Meanwhile, other scenes (the werewolf attack in the first chapter, for instance) crackle with tension ... probably because there's little dialogue to slow the story down.

This review is from: Into the Mouth of the Wolf (Kindle Edition)
I just finished this book and I really enjoyed it. The main character is unsypathetic, and self-absorbed, but somehow he makes it work for him. The author writes well enough to keep these characteristics consistent throughout the book, it ends without the character changing dramatically from the self-absorbed guy at the beginning but evolves him just enough so it comes to a satisfying conclusion.

The action scenes are FANTASTIC and really believable.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Werewolves may still roam the Earth", May 26, 2008

It's a Joshua Dagon far more dark, this time, and a writer equally witty butmore sharp and concise than in "The Fallen/Demon Tears" novels. The theme is most disquieting, what if a new mutated species should arise? The werewolf theme is certainly not new, but it serves the Author to introduce some relevant issues, bigotry, the role of the media in creating irrational panic, and the degree of primal, violent instincts inherent in human nature, and the moral problems involved. "We're not people anymore", says one "were" whilst in human form to another, and, indeed, bigotry is making a monster of the object of hatred. You feel horrified, intrigued and fascinated by Russell's predicament, and you can't help compare the rise of the mutant "Weres" to the rise of another emerging of a mutant species, the "Wraeththu" by Storm Constantine, still with a much more different outcome, Compare also with "Darker than you think" by Jack Williamson.
A book to read and ponder, but not alone at night!
