In a terrifying turn of events, man has become the hunted, rather than the hunter...

Jonathan Wilkes has worked for the Pentagon as a computer analyst for ten years and has achieved what society calls "success". Now he is on his way home, back to his roots, to reconcile with his parents.

He is planning a surprise reunion when something goes very wrong. He comes face-to-face with a different and deadly reality: one to which he must find a solution.

He meets and teams up with several others who join him in a race against time to solve the mystery that could endanger the safety of millions of people who vacation in the Adirondack Mountains and over three hundred thousand residents.

Rampaging wolf packs have overpopulated the Adirondacks and some powerful people are involved! The reader finds himself in the middle of an action-packed plot, with people being hunted by wolves, a network of criminals working together, and a prize worth billions of dollars!

Greed, cruelty, valor, and the sound of pursuit.

Rampaging wolf packs have overpopulated the Adirondacks, and powerful people are involved.

The reader is thrown into an action-packed plot where people are hunted by wolves, a network of criminals works in secret, and a prize worth billions of dollars drives dangerous men to desperate choices.

The main characters become involved in a rescue operation, venture through the halls of the New York State legislature, and are pursued by murderous thugs in a terrifying high-speed car chase.

Year of the Wolf is a tale of human greed, unspeakable cruelty, and great valor in the face of danger. It carries an unforgettable double ending and a deeper purpose: to entertain, and to point readers toward Someone sovereign, caring, and willing to meet them at their point of need.

The Hunt

Apex predators move through the snow while human systems begin to fracture.

The Conspiracy

A criminal network and powerful interests raise the stakes beyond survival.

The Reckoning

Portrait of Steven Venton

Steven Venton

Steven Venton writes at the intersection of wild nature and human myth. Raised on the edge of the northern woods, he grew up listening to stories of the land, stories told in tracks, in weather, and in the distant call of animals that know no borders.

His debut novel, Year of the Wolf, draws from years of wilderness travel, folklore research, and a lifelong obsession with apex predators and the ancient relationship between wolves and mankind.

When he is not writing, Steven is somewhere cold, somewhere quiet, watching for movement in the treeline.

Built for readers who want danger with meaning.

★★★★★

This book was very well thought out and written! The characters were visible, in my mind, the storyline was fluid. The author did a lot of research to develop such a good storyline. This was a pleasure to read!
