Auszug aus dem Buchtext:In wenigen Sekunden flogen die beiden Männer zwischen den Hecken einer Landstraße hindurch, während die starken Motoren von Oswyns "Panhard" unter ihnen dröhnten."Sagen Sie", fragte der Yankee nach einigen Augenblicken der Fahrt, "wie weit ist es wohl?""Etwa fünfundvierzig Meilen bis Hilton Manor", lautete die Antwort."Welche Geschwindigkeit haben Sie?", lautete Haverlys nächste Frage."Vierzig", erwiderte Oswyn."Ich schätze, sie wird es besser machen als das. Legen Sie den Hebel um.""Es ist riskant im Dunkeln", warnte Oswyn, doch er befolgte den Befehl seines Begleiters trotzdem. Unter der zusätzlichen Kraft sprang der Wagen wie ein lebendiges Wesen vorwärts, seine monströsen Scheinwerfer blitzten durch die Dunkelheit wie die Augen eines riesigen Tieres. Jeder Bolzen und jede Niete zitterte und sang mit dem Pochen der mächtigen Zylinder.Sie war ein wahres Geschoss, doch die Hand des Arztes war ruhig wie ein Fels, als er das Lenkrad festhielt. In diesem Moment sah Haverly auf seine Uhr. ...So beginnt ein fantasiereiches spannendes Abenteuer in der unglaublichen Welt der Wolfsmenschen.
