Review: Werewolves and aliens and a vampire! Oh my!
Rating: 5 out of 5

I just finished Eric S. Brown's sequel to A Pack of Wolves.  The first book centered around werewolves in the old west.  The second goes in a different direction completely.  This time think werewolves vs. aliens.  If you take the movie Independence Day, the Xbox game Gears of War, and throw in The Howling for good measure you will have a pretty good idea about what to expect.  Eric is obviously a fan of lots of different genres and mediums, and his influences show in his work.  The book, at times, reads like a comic book, at other times like a horror novel, and sometimes as a military sci-fi story.  The result is a fun, entertaining read that has good pacing, never takes itself too seriously, and should appeal to a variety of readers.  If you haven't checked out any of Eric's work, both Wolves books would be a fine place to start.  Where else can you find stories with werewolves, sorcery, alien invasions, mechanized war on a mass scale, and even a disembodied vampire?
