From the bestselling author of the Remaining series… They took everything–killed his wife, enslaved his daughter, destroyed his life. Now he’s a man with nothing left to lose … and that’s what makes him so dangerous. Ten years after the collapse, Huxley had built a good life again. He had a loving wife, a farm with fields of golden barley, and a daughter with a strange and wonderful gift. … strange and wonderful gift. Then the slavers came. Working out in the fields during the attack, Huxley returns too late. His daughter has been taken and his wife is bleeding out, her last whispered words about a man with a scorpion tattoo on his neck.
Where do the slavers go? Huxley has no idea. He only knows that they headed east and so will he. But eighteen months later, dying of thirst in the open desert, he doesn’t expect to see another day.
Then a man appears out of the desert and offers Huxley water from his canteen–an unheard of kindness in these savage times–and he gives Huxley a new purpose. Together, Huxley and Jay carve a path of destruction across the remains of a once-great land. The slavers are brutal, but they have no idea what’s coming for them. Huxley has found something to live for again: blood and vengeance.
In his most powerful work yet, New York Times bestselling author D. J. Molles delivers a carefully woven novel of violence and redemption, bringing to life a devastating portrait of a man pushed to the edge of his own humanity.
“With Wolves, D. J. Molles gives us a postapocalyptic rescue thriller that pulls no punches and takes no prisoners. A brutal tale wrapped like barbed wire around love, honor and a father’s love for his daughter. Highly recommended.”-Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of Kill Switch and Ghostwalkers
“Revenant meets Mad Max in this postapocalyptic thriller that proves D. J. Molles is back on the top of the genre.”—Nicholas Sansbury Smith, author of Hell Divers

Just finished today: Wolves by D.J. Mollies. It was INTENSE and I didn’t get another thing done til I turned the last page.
I don’t know why I can’t pull up the right book. I finally just picked a random one
This was probably the worst book I have ever tried to read, I very seldom quit a book once I start but I had to on this one.I got maybe half way through and couldn’t take anymore
Did not like authors writing style.
I liked the book because it was a slightly different take on the ‘end of the world’ scenario that sees a character transform.
Action packed apocalyptic thriller about a man out for revenge for the death of his wife and kidnapping of his daughter. Bloody, cruel, and vengeful adventure of a man on a mission. Good read but a little too bloody for my taste.
Very dark look at human nature and the break down of humanity.
Good story and well written.
I always wanted to know what was going to happen next.
My Favorite Book by Dan. It’s a really gripping story of a broke world. Full of gritty characters that are constantly slipping further & further from civilized morality. No character has the traditional feel, not an expected personality.
Difficult to read in places. Good read with a God ending.
i really like the book i love the characters in the book.
A bit overly descriptive, I don’t need too much superficial description
I really loved this book. I felt so sympathetic to the main character. This book was very realistic and imaginative. I had a VERY hard time putting it down.!! I will be watching for other books by this author.
In a post-apocalyptic world, Huxley sets out through the Wastelands to find his daughter and avenge the death of his wife. His struggles to find his daughter and face the man he is becoming as he hunts for her, keep this story moving at a face pace. I highly recommend this book.
Too dark and depressing for me. I gave up part way through and deleted it.
Very well written. Literate. GREAT Post Apoc/Western. Definitely following the author!
worth reading but I ultimately got bored with the extensive self analysis by the protagonist. Original treatment of a familiar theme. None of the characters seemed particularly bothered by crippling injuries, unless they died.
When I saw Wolves and read the review, I had to read it. Once I got into it, it sort of reminded me of Stephen King’s Roland from The Gunslinger.
It is a brutal book. Lots of the characters you get to know get killed off and it doesn’t really seem to bother Huxley, the main character. The one you really want to get killed off doesn’t for a really long time.
Huxley, an ex-school teacher before the “sky fire” is looking for his daughter who was taken by “slavers” in a raid in which his wife was raped and killed. The entire commune was killed, while Huxley was in the barley field. He gets back just in time to speak to his wife before she dies. She tells him the man that did it had a scorpion tatoo. Huxley spends the rest of the book getting revenge.
Huxley gradually becomes as murderous as the slavers. He has conversations with himself where he keeps asking himself, “what do I feel”.
The first two thirds of the book went really fast, then it slowed down and became less interesting. Huxley is no Roland Deschain, but it was a pretty good story.
Awesome!
