****Another 4 out of 5 stars from Foreword Clarion Reviews: "This pulse-pounding thriller starts off with a bang. On Doll's seventh birthday, one of his candles refuses to go out-"just like his other birthdays," exclaims one of his friends. After setting this spooky stage, the suspense continues as the news barks about flying saucers in Nevada, and Doll has recurring nightmares about being chased by a wolf...Indeed, the negative consequences of progress are reinforced by everything from the wolves in Doll's nightmares to creepy descriptions of plants to dire predictions about the future. With his fondness for mentioning things like Pribil automobiles and Nehi soft drinks, the author conjures up nostalgic specifics of America's past. The introduction of brand names, coupled with Wells's ability to connect and reinterpret historical events to fit his plot, makes the book eerily realistic...A thriller in multiple ways, this book is a must-read for sci-fi lovers."
Cascade A&E magazine: "Wells' latest book...weaves in elements of magical realism while posing questions about real-life history, including what were inventor Albert Einstein's true motives..."
Calliope Writer's Workshop: "Wells artfully blends in Wolfe Odyssey, historical fact with fantasy, science fiction, and horror into a fabulist form of fiction..."
"Sheryl A Hatch" Amazon book review: "I so enjoyed the first book of this series and I am ecstatic over this one. What a pleasure to read this book and see the vision of Mr. HC Wells...The story comes together with a combination of tense drama, action that is at times terrifying, and startling revelations that leave the reader anticipating Book III. I can't wait to see the movie "
"CP" Amazon book review: "Very detailed author, creating such a movie in my head...I read through this one in only about 3 days. Guess I will await the 3rd...This author will be around for years to come..."
A DEADLY STORM IS BREWING...
The year is 1951.
Doll, discovered on the shore in 1944, is about to turn seven. He is also about to learn the truth of his arrival in the home of Eddie and Chantain Coolidge. Now questioning all he believes, Doll gets Eddie to take him to the site of the shipwreck that brought him to America. This desperate attempt to retain some foothold in his son's good graces, however, takes a sudden turn into dangerous waters. A mysterious storm suddenly materializes and a monstrous phantom wolf emerges. After a battle between beast and storm, Eddie and Doll are unable to acurately recall any of the climactic events before a planned vacation to visit Doll's grandparents in Nevada.
There, Doll and his grandfather discover the top-secret Area 51 and the young boy soon finds himself fighting for his life against clandestine government forces and The Storm that has followed him from Devil's Gulch...
A spellbinding reimagining of true events woven within a compulsively mesmerizing fictional narrative, the second novel of THE TIME TO TELL series carries on the challenging, mind-altering blend of magical realism and historical fact so deftly woven in Operation Wolfe Cub.
Book 2, Wolfe Odyssey, of THE TIME TO TELL series continues into Book 3, Wolfe Tears, scheduled for release very soon.
