Description

It is late 1862, and the United States has been ripped apart by civil war for over a year with no end in sight. The war is a distant thought to Johannes Wolf, a young German immigrant with a crippled leg keeping him off the muster lists.

Desperately dredging the gutters for recruits, Wolf cons his way into the depleted, demoralized, and poorly run Union army, and is promptly placed in the undesirable F Company of the 13th Michigan Cavalry.

Wolf's company find themselves riding with Custer and the Michigan Brigade on a collision course with master horseman J. E. B. Stuart and the Army of Northern Virginia in a small town in Pennsylvania, called Gettysburg.

Will they stand tall against the knights of the South and prove themselves worthy? Or will they fall beneath screaming bullets and sweeping blades, becoming more bloody fodder for a lost cause?

Northern Wolf is a thrilling, historical pause-resister packed with detailed passages of battle, the horrors of war, and the struggle to discover oneself. Fans of Bernard Cornwell will be captivated by this powerful new series.

Acceptable Historical Fiction

To be certain, some of the Hollywood Clichés in this adventure are eyerollingly painful to endure: the nasty Irishman Drill Sergeant.. the misfits who turn into heroes.. the wily veteran Corporal who takes over from weak leadership.. the naive young Privates who discover who they are through the crucible of battle.. 
Luckily, Daniel Greene informs his authentic-sounding tale of frontline combat with exhaustively researched Civil War battle history (and the actual tactics employed) and paints a realistic picture with excellent combat description. Yes, the dialogue is somewhat sophomoric and definitely formulaic, but the microcosmic story is plausible and easy to follow. Once I was able to set aside reservations (expecting logical motivations or 3-dimensional characters, for example), this is a pretty fun romp of a story.

Unfortunately, Bradford Hastings turns in a performance that makes suspension of disbelief more difficult. Don't get me wrong.. his diction, timbre, cadence, and tone are commendable and the technical support from Blackstone Publishing is admirably professional - but Hastings reads much too slowly (set playback speed at 1.15X), and his voice-acting is notably inferior (the Irish, German, and Polish accents among the Union forces are often laughable and the Confederate drawls are sometimes straight-up cartoonish).

Taken altogether, 'Northern Wolf' rates a respectable 7 stars out of 10. Do not download it looking for edifying insight into life for soldiers in the Civil War or a thought-provoking interpretation of the role of cavalry at Gettysburg, but if your expectations are realistic, you'll get a fun diversion for a couple of quiet afternoons. Offering this book as a 'Plus' selection (included with an Audible subscription) is appropriate.. because it wouldn't rate a Credit if they asked. It's good enough to prompt me to give (the also free) Book Two a listen, but if you enjoy this genre in general and they request money - stick to Bernard Cromwell, Steven Pressfield, or Ben Kane.
