Maxim Jakubowski's July 2015 Book of the Month.
The breathless conclusion of the astounding WOLFHOUND CENTURY trilogy proves powerful and moving. In a version of Russia which never was where the supernatural still reigns and angels have fallen from the sky, dark powers are at play, both human and magical against a background that blends harsh political realism, the overall beauty of the landscape and a teeming chessboard over which mere humans must journey.
A disgraced cop and a young woman half born to a forest sprite must halt a war on heavens and earth and prevent the launch of a monster spacecraft built by a totalitarian regime. Unsettling, gripping, and ever surprising, Higgins's bizarre and frightening world is a mighty and awesome creation, held together by the unbound power of the imagination and a style of writing both luscious and expansive, and renews your faith in the possibilities and beauty of fiction. ~ Maxim Jakubowski
