About this listen

Elite soldier turned dragon hunter.

Cursed by a blind witch in a remote corner of Waristan, Special Ops Captain Jason Wolfe finds himself transforming into a creature of local legend, a lupine referred to in fearful whispers as Blue Wolf.

Faster, stronger, and more lethal, he’s the perfect soldier - but not for the US military. To break the curse, Jason must join a war between ancient tribal foes: blue werewolves and the formidable White Dragon.

In a battle spanning from the peaks of Central Asia to the valleys of Manhattan, and with the help of a bookish wizard named Prof Croft, Jason will push himself to the breaking point. Because with the curse now spreading to his mind, he’s running out of time - and the stakes couldn’t be higher:

Win and he returns home to his fiancé, his family, and a future.

Lose and he dies a bloodthirsty beast....

Jason Wolfe is a new urban hero

Another great series for Brad Magnarella! Jason Wolfe becomes the principle protector for a village in the Wakhjir Providence. Through no fault of his own, he is transformed into the Blue Wolf. The Blue Wolf and White Dragon are the opposing forces, which have been at war for centuries. They are the yin and yang forces of their dimension. Their races have evolved with the genetic ability to transform into the wolf or dragon. Through the presentation of the village history and dragon lore we learn about the conflict between the enemies.

Every hero has a conflict. Jason is not different. He has served 10 years in the army. He is waiting on his transfer papers to go home to his fiancé. One last mission for Jason but things don’t go as planned. Jason becomes a Blue Wolf and becomes embroiled in a battle with a dragon.

Jason is a fighter, a solider, a leader of men, brute force and regeneration from most wounds are his abilities. He is the leader who sacrifices himself and assumes responsibility of his team’s actions. He does not participate in witty repartee. His attitude is get this job done so I can get one with my life. He was the highest-ranking officer when shit went wrong so it is his responsibility to make amends.

There are good guys, bad guys and an organization without any loyalties. There is a cameo appearance of Prof. Croft. Using the world of Croft (if you have not read that series, do so) gives familiarity to the reader of the world of Jason Wolfe

The fights are goods, but… The disparity in abilities and size of wolf and the dragon, leave our hero at a great disadvantage. Even genetically the wolfs have a disadvantage. Their life cycle is shorter than the dragons and there is a finite amount of power they can acquire.
For urban fantasy fans of Jim Butcher, Al K. Line, M.D. Massey, Conner Kressley & J.A. Cipriano, and Brad Magnarella you must this one.

Kudos for James Patrick Cronin for his narration.

good start

Good start to the series. I was listening to the Crof series when it brought up the blue wolf so I had to jump over to this book to see what I missed out on before moving on with Croft.

If you enjoy Brad Magnarella and any of his fantasy based series you will find this book very much to your liking. others will also enjoy the deep roots of the main character in his millitary training and tactics. a good mix of new and old with some nice little twists thrown in. theres also a nice lil guest appearance from someone ;) definately a read!

Home run

Awesome story, awesome characters, awesome narration! Did I mention awesome? If you are a fan of urban fantasy you won’t be disappointed. There really isn’t a whole lot to say other than stop thinking about it and just buy the damn book.

Werewolf?

What happens when things go terribly wrong during an open? Things you don't believe can happen. I enjoyed the story and the narration is superb. I received this audio book for free at my request and voluntarily reviewed.

Just as great as the Prof Croft books!

Over time I’ve collected all of the Prof Croft books and held off on buying these books for when I ran out of all other books to listen to, so glad I did because this book was just as great! Now I will get the rest of the series and happy I have books to listen to while I find other books to listen to. Brad Magnarella has become one of my favorite authors and JPC is definitely one of the best narrator’s!

A Soldier Thrust Into A Mission he didn't ask for

Combat material aside.. The story itself, is pretty good. Jason Wolfe is a man dedicated to his country, his troop, & his woman. When he is sent to a remote location for his "final mission". What he thought might a simple mission, turns into a whole other thing!! Instead, he's thrust into what might be deemed as an age old war between a simple mountain people & other world forces. He unfortunately, is forced to take a side & fight for something that maybe he didn't think was possible, logical or real. In the end.. He takes up arms & begins a journey of unique proportions.

loved this book

I had never read anything by this author. I truly enjoyed the military and fantasy mix. Jame's voice added a nice touch to the story. I am looking forward to the next book.

decent to listen to

flat character arc like every military man committed to something, but it's meh. The book is not self aware which makes it boring.
