Wolf of Shadows is a top dog!!! Woof,
By A Customer
This review is from: WOLF OF SHADOWS (Hardcover)
This book is usually located in the children's section of a public library or bookstore, although not necessarily a children's book. And, in fact, I read this book many years ago when one of my then young children brought it home from the grammar school library. I have never forgotten it, and when library patrons ask me, a reference librarian, for a good read, something easy to get into, "Wolf-of-Shadows" is at the top of my list. The story takes place in the future although it could happen today. The members of a pack of wolves in northern Canada, must learn to cooperate with each other if they are going to survive a cataclysmic event witnessed by them and their leadear, Wolf-of-Shadows. In their journey to safety, they encounter humans unable to fend for themselves. The humans and the wolves cautiously move in tandem each learning from the other.

A hear-opening book.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Wolf of Shadows (Mass Market Paperback)
From a rock where he sits, Wolf Of Shadows is the only one to see the great distant nuclear missle explode and rock the land. In a desperate attempt to save his newly-acquired pack, he goes south with the strange, strange female two-legged thing and her daughter, Shannon, in search of a place where life can be reborn This book is slighly too hopful, as the author says in the afterwards. But it is a remarkable book about survivul in a barren land and the bonds and ties of love.

This review is from: Wolf of Shadows (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a lot of story packed into less than 100 pages - easy to read but a lot to think about."Wolf of Shadows" is different in that it's told from the viewpoint of a very large black wolf called Wolf of Shadows. After a nuclear disaster, Wolf of Shadows and his pack end up integrating two humans - a mother and daughter - into their pack. The story tells of their trials and tribulations as their world heads into nuclear winter and they must survive extreme cold, starvation, and other humans. It is easy to tell when reading the book that Strieber has experience in studying wolves. This was a short but thought-provoking post-apocalyptic read. I recommend it for all ages, young teens on up. Strieber's other P-A book written with James Kunetka War Day and the Journey Onward is also an excellent example of the genre.
