Overview

Wolves of the Kaiser's War is an atmospheric, dramatically rich, historic thriller about a disillusioned Scottish scout, his lovelorn best friend and fellow soldier, and a haunted French Captain on a quest of vengeance. The group pursue a vicious Hungarian count turned war criminal across the ravaged wastes of First World War-era Europe, a transnational manhunt that leads them into the hungry maw of the Spanish Flu epidemic in late 1918 as it ravages New Orleans, Louisiana. There the soldiers cross paths with a disgraced, opium-addicted physician with a faltering moral compass, a terrifying eugenicist murderer, a preternaturally gifted girl, and a Creole trickster spirit, among many others. Inexorably, this vivid cast of characters converge upon a dangerous conspiracy-one that threatens to swallow the city itself. Wolves of the Kaiser's War, a stunning blend of adventure, psychology, and mysticism, is a story of loss and suffering, of devotion and redemption and vengeance in the closing days of World War I, all set against the riotous backdrop of early 20th century New Orleans under the veil of Mardi Gras.
