Rating: Summary: Hard to put down Review: Talk about a page-turner. Talk about a book that keeps you up late because you want to read "just a little more" before lights out.I was reminded of several of my favorites -- a word about them in half a second. But first, I must say I felt the author was writing from his own passion and wisdom! The book's robust and entertaining. Well, it reminded me a little of Poul Anderson's classic "Unknown" magazine-style novel Three Hearts and Three Lions; Charles Williams's occult thriller War in Heaven; Russell Kirk's stories of the macabre published by the legendary Arkham House -- specifically "The Invasion of the Church of the Holy Ghost," in Watchers at the Strait Gate; and C. S. Lewis's Arthurian science fiction tale That Hideous Strength. And it reminded me a bit of Stephen King, too.
Rating: Summary: Refreshing Change Review: This extraordinary book can't be placed in one category. It's a book in which you participate in Norse Mythology in modern times, with rich characters and a many layered plot that includes suspense and even subtle humor. Future fantasy on par with Caleb Carr's "Killing Time." If you are a fan of C. S. Lewis's Space Trilogy, you may have a touch of deja vu. The protagonists of both "Wolf Time" and the trilogy share similar experiences--if you know the Eldila you'll enjoy this. There will be no time to lose your place.

Rating: Summary: An Interesting Fusion Review: Wolf Time combines an amusing but disturbingly possible satire of the near future of society with a resurgence of Norse Mythology. Lars has a good time here-I don't want to give away anything, but there are some cross-overs that make it fun to read.
