NYC finds itself the target of a carefully planned series of werewolf attacks that start on the night of Dec 29. Main target – the New Year's Eve
celebration at Times Square. FBI Special Agent Brianna Tildascow zeroes in on one Demetrius Valenkov. An
European Werewolf hunter is brought in. The Government and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) work together on finding a solution to the
outbreak. Body count rises and the resolution is suitably climactic.
Emmy-nominated
author Hugh Sterbakov’s writing is smart and the book has a crisp sense of
humor throughout. The characterizations are excellent: Brianna Tildascow – FBI Special
Agent and the protagonist, Rebekkah Lufts – National Security Advisor, Dr Melissa
Kenzie – the doctor, Lon Toller- the geek, William Weston – President of the
US, Dr Jessica Tanner – Director of CDC and Elizabeth – Lon’s girlfriend.

The
story is well-paced and sustains interest from start to finish. There is enough
gore around to satisfy the gorehounds. Hugh has paid homage to the Werewolf
legend through references to the actor Lon Chaney and the movies Silver Bullet and An American Werewolf in London. Hugh also gets brownie points for his jabs
at Twilight and other books of that ilk.

What is more striking is his devotion
to Bram Stoker’s Dracula. The book has some scenes set
in Transylvania and Romania. There are direct references to the
Carpathian Mountains and the horse carriage ride while being surrounded by
wolves on all sides. The line in the book – “Those hills are alive with
the sound of music” instantly reminded me of the classic line in Stoker’s book
- "Children of the night. What music they make…".
The book ends with a potential for a sequel. I am definitely looking forward to that one!
