(Kindle or EPUB) - “Stargate meets Lord of the Rings!” ABOUT STAR WOLVES ------------------------- A century ago a beneficent alien race, the Alfar, uplifted mankind to the stars and unwittingly seeded their doom. Humanity had just begun to ply the dark interstellar seas and were wholly unprepared for the malevolent forces they would awaken. When Haldor Olsen unearths an ancient alien technology, the Hrymar slavers learn about mankind, a lucrative new source of slaves—the basis of their interstellar economy. The slavers obliterate mankind’s first extra-solar colony, enslaving or killing all 10,000 colonists—including Haldor’s wife and son. Haldor seems to be the only one taking this new threat seriously. With a small but well trained crew, he travels hundreds of light-years in a frantic race around the Galaxy to save mankind from total enslavement. In the process, he’s forced to make a deal with the devil to ward off the coming tide of destruction. ABOUT THE SERIES: ----------------------------- The Tribes of Yggdrasil series begins just over a century in our future, but it’s a time you might not recognize. A century has been shaped by contact with mankind’s mythological past and the intervention of ancient alien races. It’s a time where starships ply the stars, where Alfar build great living-cities on their planets, and where the Dvergar dominate the local stellar-economy. It’s a time where mankind meets a great evil, the Hrymar, a twisted offshoot of the elves, and it’s a time where the old Viking Gods walk among the stars. ------------------------- Praise from Dave Farland, NYT Bestselling author of the Runelords, lead judge for one of the world’s largest writing contests, and mentor to other NYT Bestsellers such as; Stefenie Meyer and Brandon Sanderson. “Many authors had written stories about kids going to wizard schools, but none did it as well as Rowling. Similarly, many people have written stories about vampires, but Stephenie Meyer managed to capture a whole generation by making them her own….Last week I came across a writer who has written a few books on Norse history, herbalism, and magic. His name is Hugh B. Long, and his works using the Alfar in space are . . . different, more fully realized than others I’ve seen. He’s taken the worlds of ancient Norse mythology and reimagined them as military science fiction, where elves are futuristic explorers who once visited Earth, and now mankind must unite with them to fight a common enemy. I think that he is succeeding in taking a concept and really developing it into something new, making it his own. There’s a possibility that his works could grow into a hit.” What Amazon Reviewers are saying: -------------------------------------------------- “Reminiscent of John Ringo and David Weber…Long keeps the action flowing in this entertaining space opera..” – Amazon Review “Loved it! Classic Sci-fi….couldn’t put it down, the myriad of races are well thought out and diverse. The protagonist is well drawn and engaging. Very nice political subtlety” – Amazon Review “It has been quite a while since I sat down and read a book in two sittings…”[Star Wolves]” kept me up most of the night.” – Amazon Review
