I read and liked DOWN TO A SUNLESS SEA earlier, and I think Poyer has surpassed that with AS THE WOLF... It will keep you on the edge of your seat. Weaving together threads of natural history, financial and corporate skulldugery and a child's plea for her sick little brother to get better, the plot keeps twisting and turning unexpectedly.

From back cover: It is snowing in the wintry mountains of northwestern Pennsylvania. Once the land of wilderness scouts, later of the boomtowns of the first American oil barons, it is now a spare country of proud men and women hanging on to their lives, dignity, and what's left of prosperity in the declining years of the twentieth century. One tough old man, W.T. Halvorsen, is not going to let it all slip away without a fight.

And the wolves are beginning to howl again in the mountains.
