GENUS LUPUS: A Novel

Wolves have escaped from a French wildlife park and now range the mountains and isolated farms of the southern Massif Central. When a series of strange events and disappearances begin occurring in the remote Lozère region, jaded local detective Inspector Maury is ordered to investigate. Soon it begins to look as if history is repeating itself; Lozère, known in the 18th Century as Gevaudan, was once terrorized by a mysterious 'Beast' that killed over 100 people in a two-year reign of terror. Much as he is reluctant to be influenced by the region's superstitions and legends, Maury finds himself realizing that there may indeed be a monster stalking the dense woods and lonely mountains.

WE MORTALS

The Nazi 'master race' murdered millions of what it deemed Untermenschen; Slavs, Jews and gypsies.

In 1941 Operation Barbarossa saw the world's largest invasion force made up of Wehrmacht and Waffen SS armoured Divisions carving east into Soviet territories. Behind this war machine came the the Third Reich's angels of Death - the Einstazgruppen - who robbed, raped and murdered simple peasants on the grounds of their ethnicity.

Against overwhelming odds poorly armed survivors of these massacres organised themselves into partisan groups to hunt Nazis.
