The Last Werewolf (The Last Werewolf 1)

Then she opened her mouth to screamâ and recognised me. It was what Iâ d been waiting for. She froze. She looked into my eyes. She said, â Itâ s you.â

Meet Jake. A bit on the elderly side (he turns 201 in March), but youâ d never suspect it. Nonstop sex and exercise will do that for youâ and a diet with lots of animal protein. Jake is a werewolf, and after the unfortunate and violent death of his one contemporary, he is now the last of his species. Although he is physically healthy, Jake is deeply distraught and lonely.

Jakeâ s depression has carried him to the point where he is actually contemplating suicideâ even if it means terminating a legend thousands of years old. It would seem to be easy enough for him to end everything. But for very different reasons there are two dangerous groups pursuing him who will stop at nothing to keep him alive.

Here is a powerful, definitive new version of the werewolf legendâ mesmerising and incredibly sexy. In Jake, Glen Duncan has given us a werewolf for the twenty-first centuryâ a man whose deeds can only be described as monstrous but who is in some magical way deeply human.

One of the most original, audacious, and terrifying novels in years.
