I haven't finished this book yet,but so far I really have enjoyed it.The only thing keeping me from giving it 5 stars are some glaring errors that any author or editor should not have made. Anyone who knows anything about our present day military small arms would know that the Beretta 92 has been the issued side arm of our military for many years now.In two or three instances the author mentioned a character putting a clip or magazine in a revolver.Wrong,wrong,wrong.Unless you are using a moon or half moon clip to load with[which the military probably never did when they did use revolvers prior to the introduction of the 1911 .45  ACP]only semi-auto pistols use a clip/magazine.I was also a little disappointed in the apparent lack of reasoning on the part of some of the characters.A medical doctor and an army Colonel both seemed to be unable to understand why some of the characters turned into werewolves after being bitten by one,even though they discussed the possibility several times prior to the transformations.If you notice one of the people you are with,that had been bitten by the werewolf,showing amazing recuperative powers and superhuman strength,wouldn't you assume the worst?I know I would want to put as much distance between myself and the infected individual as possible.Or at least try to restrain or sedate them with medical supplies at hand.At any rate it's a good read.I look forward to the ending.I finished "Full Moon Island" and liked it.The story was unique and held my attention all the way through.There were more errors made when describing the weapons the characters used and how they were loaded and used.This may seem minor,but to me it is indicative of poor research on the authors' part.If the writer is not sure about his facts,then he should not write about them.A fun read and I was led to believe that a sequel is coming.
