Terror On The Tundra
By J. Erskin Miller
.
Genre: Horror
MY REVIEW
Yes, another story taking place on a frozen tundra. This time it’s Alaska. Animals have to be double tough to survive the environment. As do the people who choose to brave the harsh elements. The residents of Chintikook Village are prepared for the local wild life, but something has arrived that they’ve not encountered before. They unite, knowing it’s their best chance of survival. The Super Wolves are hungry and looking for new territory. The humans are on the menu and in their way.
I enjoy creature features. Viking war dogs, AKA Super Wolves, was a new one for me. They’re big so, naturally, they’re hungry. They were left to live or die on their own so it’s a given that they’re smart. I enjoyed the author taking me back in time to how the dogs came to be the creatures they were now. In a lot of ways they should be feared more than polar bears.
I enjoyed the main characters. They weren’t your average hero types and that made it more suspenseful as the wolves executed their attacks. Many author don’t hesitate to kill their main characters and, with that in mind, I was fearful for them.
The only thing that disappointed me was the ending. It was rushed and I would have liked it to feel like an actual ending.
Synopsis
Jim Miller, writing as J. Esker Miller, has five previous thrillers that cover diverse but exciting times. But it was Alaska, the northernmost fringe of civilization, that intrigued him most of all. After years of flying over the desolate landscape and hearing the stories of the people there, he imagined a remote island, a desolate, hostile place where evolution was free to create unique creatures. And so, a single pair of shipwrecked Viking war dogs evolved into terrifying Apex Predators that ravaged the island unchallenged. Eventually, the breakup of Arctic ice floated a few of the beasts to the North Slope of Alaska. There, they faced the valiant townspeople of Chintikook Village. Along with a boyish paleontologist and the local schoolteacher, the humans teamed up to battle the attacking creatures they called Super Wolves. It’s an adventure that pits the fangs and claws of giant devil dogs against the wits and bravery of a small group of townspeople who don’t know how to give up despite impossible odds.
