A Canadian Werewolf in New York
O ovoj e-knjizi
Michael Andrews seems to have it all. He's a successful author and a minor celebrity living in Manhattan. It's a pretty big step up from his humble Canadian upbringing. Of course, his lycanthropy poses a bit of a challenge. After waking up from his latest night on the town, he's naked, he's got a bullet hole in his leg, and he has a sneaking suspicion he ran into another wolf last night.
If he's going to make an evening talk show appearance to promote his latest book, he'll need to figure out what happened the previous night without letting his occasional heroics get in the way. Standing in his way are an agent, an ex-girlfriend, a variety of goons, and a fellow wolf encroaching on his territory.
It's just another day in the life of a polite, small-town Canadian trying to stay alive in the Big Apple.
A Canadian Werewolf in New York is a humorous thriller about an ordinary man dealing with extraordinary circumstances. If you like seeing a reluctant hero everyman try to "do right" no matter the odds, then you'll love this suspenseful and comedic tale of a Canadian bumpkin who happens to be part wolf.
Reviews for A Canadian Werewolf in New York:
- "A novel take on the werewolf plot lines that have filled library shelves for a very long time.
- "The thinking man's werewolf"
- "Stan Lee. David Letterman. The cast of Goodfellas. Lovely babes, innocents in the wild, the wild in the big city. Packed with humor, suspense, fun characters, an exciting chase, and of course prog rockers of the Great White North... Rush! What a fun ride. I have not only enjoyed this book, I have bought it twice for friends."
- "Coming from a werewolf obsessed individual, I really enjoyed this book with its different take on a werewolf character and how he deals with being a werewolf. I highly recommend this."
- "Thanks to Mark Leslie, the werewolf story line has been rescued! His skill is in portraying the day to day life of a werewolf from the POV of the human side. We actually do not ever "see" the transformed image of man into wolf. Rather, we see the day to day trauma of a man cursed (or perhaps blessed?) with the superhuman senses and strength of an animal."
- "This is fantastic fun. An original take on the werewolf. I enjoyed the main character, he became a friend, like someone I'd enjoy taking for a coffee. It is rare that an author nails this. The humor and mentioning of things familiar to writers and the world of creating fiction was great. This is a world I live in and I knew how real it was. Highly recommended. it has it all: orginality, humor, suspence, and touch of romance."
