Year of the Wolf by Steven Venton
In a terrifying turn of events, man has become the hunted, rather than the hunter...
Jonathan Wilkes has worked for the Pentagon as a computer analyst for ten years and has achieved what society calls "success". Now he is on his way home, back to his roots, to reconcile with his parents.
He is planning a surprise reunion when something goes very wrong. He comes face-to-face with a different and deadly reality: one to which he must find a solution.
He meets and teams up with several others who join him in a race against time to solve the mystery that could endanger the safety of millions of people who vacation in the Adirondack Mountains and over three hundred thousand residents.
Rampaging wolf packs have overpopulated the Adirondacks and some powerful people are involved! The reader finds himself in the middle of an action-packed plot, with people being hunted by wolves, a network of criminals working together, and a prize worth billions of dollars!
The reader will find main characters involved in a rescue operation, venturing the halls of the New York State legislature, and being pursued by murderous thugs in a terrifying high-speed car chase.
Year of the Wolf is a tale of human greed, unspeakable cruelty, and great valor in the face of danger. It even has an unforgettable double ending. But this book has a dual purpose: to entertain, but also to show the reader something beyond the natural: Someone Who is sovereign over all, Someone Who cares, Someone Who is willing to meet the reader at his or her point of need. May this book do more than entertain. May it effect a profound change for the better in the lives of all who read these pages.
About The Author
I was born in 1955,late summer, and grew up in a small town in the Adirondacks.I have one brother and two sisters, and I am the only one of the four siblings to have been born in a year the New York Yankees did NOT win the World Series. The Brooklyn Dodgers won in 1955, beating the Yankees. I enjoyed fishing, swimming, running, card games, board games (There were no computer games when I was growing up.), and tennis.
When I was 12, I went to the Word of Life Inn in Schroon Lake, NY, and it was there that I made the most important decision of my life. I received the Lord Jesus Christ as my Savior. And I have never ever regretted that decision. I graduated from high school in 1973, went to Nyack College for two years, went to Word of Life Bible Institute, and then went to Citadel Bible College in Ozark, Arkansas. I have a BA degree in two majors: Bible, and Pastoral Studies.
I never became a pastor, but I have been involved in a local church for many years, involved in teaching, evangelism, and being on the church board.
I had some bad things happen to me, and my response was to write a couple of novels, one of which is published. I really felt the emotions of the characters in the novel, probably due to the bad times I had just been through.
My desire is to reach people with the good news that no matter where you are in life, God is available to all who call on Him in sincerity and truth.
