Hellboy: The Fire Wolves

De: Tim Lebbon

Narrado por: Qarie Marshall

Hellboy is called to Amalfi, Italy, by Franca, a young member of the Esposito family. She fears that a dark curse on her family is about to claim her cousin as its next victim. Hellboy makes his way to their large home...and he encounters a flaming demon - fire wolf - which he successfully fights off.

Hellboy and Franca make their way to Pompeii, where Franca remembers seeing an image of the fire wolf whilst on an archaeological dig. Hellboy unearths the shriveled corpse of a demon hunter who was buried during the AD 79 eruption of Vesuvius, and it tells him of the fire demon that escaped the grip of the volcano...leading to that devastating eruption. As the volcano rumbles again - with a new thirst for human blood - an eruption even more devastating than that historical catastrophe looks very, very close.

great story that moves!

this is a great story. the fast pace keeps you hooked. love Hellboy stories anyway, but this one is awesome!

Hellboy takes on fire wolves this time: good thing he is fire resistant.

This story had really good character development and quite a few twists along the way. I was going to read the ice wolves first but quickly figured out that the fire wolf story happens before the ice wolf story. This story ties into the history of Pompei and the volcanic explosion that happened at that time. This is a solid Hellboy book and unusually does not contain any Nazis at all. This was an entertaining story and the narrator did a good job too. Edit: Someone mentioned this is like a soap opera but something awful happened at the beginning of this story and Hellboy was raised as a human. it would be natural to feel guilt in this situation, the Hellboy I know is not an unfeeling psychopath, he has always been a principled good guy. The story has lots of action and good character development. I didn't see him being indecisive but the elders of the family were telling him to leave and judging him and later in the story the real reasons behind this treatment is laid out.

Like a soap opera. Characters were painfully emotional. Hell boy was not the character I know,

Overly emotional, I hated the characters. The plot was fine and narration good. But the characters were wimpy, indecisive, self obsessed, and overly emotional. Hell boy is action and not constant indecision and self doubt. It was a painful listen. I will return.
