NOTES

Danielle Goodman has been top of her class in the Warder Academy and thinks she deserves to pick her own job--vampire hunter. But when her mentor drafts her to ride herd on a lowly werewolf, Danielle can't turn him down--she owes Joe Smealy too much. And the werewolf might be important--before he was transformed, he was a famous scientist. Dr. Carl Harriman just might be the individual who can beat the disease that has struck ten percent of America's population and turned them into vampires, werewolves, elves, trolls, and other once-mythical and magical races. Danielle's mission--to make sure Harriman is working for the government and hasn't gone rogue. But to do so, she must move with Harriman into the 'zone.'As Danielle spends time with Harriman, they both begin to realize that some of the certainties they built their lives upon are lies. Danielle believes this argues even more convincingly for Karl to finish his cure--to end the magic plague. But Karl begins to appreciate his werewolf side--and realizes that the magical don't want to return to the drab life of the 'normals.' Despite a growing attraction between the two of them, they seem doomed to battle one another--especially when Joe Smealy learns that Karl has isolated the virus that could cause a new outbreak of the magic plague--among the normals.BooksForAB favorite author Rob Preece delivers a sexy urban fantasy. IN THE WEREWOLF'S DEN combines elements of dark fantasy, a light dash of humor, a strong sense of place in a near-future Dallas, and a very different look at the role of magical and non-magical in an urban fantasy.Whether you're a long-time fan, or new to Preece's work, you won't want to miss this one. Also check out A REALLY BAD HAIR DAY--a lighter take on the Return of Magic Plague, also by Rob Preece When he's not writing, Rob Preece is playing competitive bridge or planning long distance bicycle trips. He's a fan of fantasy and science fiction, spent months trying to build a staff that would work like Gandalfs (and studied Bo fighting) and does magic tricks on dates. Yeah, he should probably stick with writing.Rob is the publisher for BooksForAB a small primarily electronic publisher of novel-length mystery, science fiction, fantasy and romance
