The Wolf's Hour

by Robert R. McCammon

First published 1989

Michael Gallatin parachutes into occupied France carrying secrets that could save or doom the Allied invasion. He is a master spy who transforms into a wolf at will, killing enemies with claws or cunning as the mission demands. The Nazis have developed a plan called Iron Fist that threatens to destroy D-Day before it begins. Gallatin must infiltrate Berlin's corrupt inner circles to discover what Iron Fist really means. He moves between the bed of a beautiful spy and the laboratories of Nazi scientists, each step bringing him closer to the truth. Time runs short as the invasion date approaches. Gallatin proved himself against Rommel's forces in North Africa, but this mission pushes his supernatural abilities to their limits. The Nazis have laid traps throughout their network, and Gallatin finds himself caught in their web of destruction with only hours remaining before Allied forces hit the beaches.
