Werewolves in space. Huh. I was a little surprised I enjoyed this mashup of sci-fi/space opera/shifter fantasy as much as I did. Earth has been wrecked by a polar shift (for now, at least), and the story takes place on ark ships in space, with both human and werewolf survivors battling for survival and supremacy. An odd kind of premise, but the writer made it credible enough for me, and I was happy to go along for the ride. I enjoyed the twists and turns of the story, and the political squabbles amongst crew members kept it interesting. I've enjoyed wolf shifter books before, and this one was just a different take, I guess.

I did get a little tired of the difficulty Lake and Rainer had in communicating with each other. OK as a plot device, but after a while it started to get a bit old, and as a reader I wanted a few more crumbs of their togetherness. But apart from this, the story carried me along, and I will happily read the next instalment.
