Then she opened her mouth to screamβand recognised me. It was what Iβd been waiting for. She froze. She looked into my eyes. She said, βItβs you.β Meet Jake. A bit on the elderly side (he turns 201 in March), but youβd never suspect it. Nonstop sex and exercise will do that for youβand 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. Jakeβs depression has carried him to the point where he is actually contemplating suicideβeven 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 legendβmesmerising and incredibly sexy. In Jake, Glen Duncan has given us a werewolf for the twenty-first centuryβa 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.
