Product Description

OF WOLF AND MAN -- Award-winning 2nd novel in the TRIUMVIRATE series.

Two years have passed since werewolf Sean Mallory and his undead partners, the vampire Alistaire and the zombie Trey, crossed over into our world. The journey has been difficult, but the Triumvirate is finally adjusting to their new home.

Now Sean has received a cry for help from northern Alaska. A pack of werewolves are on the prowl, slaughtering hunters with increasing frequency.

But the Triumvirate soon learns that these werewolves are different from any they have before encountered. To make matters worse, all odds stack against them - the environment, the time of year, the lunar cycle, everything. Murphy's Law at its worst.

Crippled and outnumbered, how can the Triumvirate save the people of Alaska if they cannot even save themselves?

WINNER: IPPY book awards Bronze Medal for Horror!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best so far...., December 1, 2009

This review is from: Of Wolf and Man (Triumvirate) (Kindle Edition)

Pandora's Game focused on the vampire's character, Connexion was a nice bridge between the first novel and this one (and, yay, focus on Trey), but this novel was the best so far. Sean, the werewolf, is the main character, and the history between him and his sister is fully revealed.

But I think the fact that the action really ramps up is what makes this the best one yet. It makes sense, though, because PG really had to set up the whole premise. In Of Wolf and Man, Andrews is free to really let loose and jump right into the action. And he takes advantage of that quite well.

PG was a good set up, more of a mix between drama/horror, and this novel is more of an action/horror. I also like how, by setting this in Alaska, we get a lot of weaknesses of the characters. This, in the end, forces one of them to take an action that sets up the third novel in the series. Also, the werewolves go against the mythology set up in the first couple of novels, which keeps the plot, and the fights, from being, well, boring. If it were just two werewolves fighting, I could pop in endless movies; reading about Sean having to wonder why the other werewolves are different, and figuring out how to defeat them makes them fun and dangerous enemies.

And, I know I'm going to sound like an obsessed little fan-girl, but Trey is a huge reason for me to keep reading the Triumvirate. He was barely in the first novel, and I loved him in Connexion - but that was so short. I loved getting him in a full length novel. Again, I can't explain the attraction, but I find myself completely fascinated by his character. The childlike attitude is fleshed out, and we get to see one of his tantrums.

I have to admit that the fact that PG focused on the vampire, and this focused on the wolf, so it follows that book three will focus on the zombie. But more than that, I practically squealed at the end; there's another twist, although I'm not quite sure where it's going, that hints at further problems for Trey in the third novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than New Moon, April 14, 2010

By 

Marcus Alexander Hart (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Of Wolf and Man (Paperback)

The other day I watched the movie adaptation of "Twilight: New Moon," which made me want to reread "Of Wolf and Man" as a palate cleanser. Both stories are about werewolves and vampires, but unlike "New Moon," "Of Wolf and Man" isn't totally ass.

"Of Wolf and Man" is just as good on the second reading as it was the first. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Christopher Andrews is amazing with character. Even in the few places where the story starts to slow down, the characterization is so great that it pulls you right through and onto the next flurry of action. For some reason I've always felt a special fondness for the police chief in this book. I don't know why.

"Of Wolf and Man" was at IPPY award bronze medalist, which I feel was unjustified.

It should have won the gold.
