The strange planet known as Tanegawa's World is owned by TransRifts Inc, the company with the absolute monopoly on interstellar travel. Hob landed there 10 years ago, a penniless orphan left behind by a rift ship. She was taken in by Nick Ravani and quickly became a member of his mercenary biker troop, the Ghost Wolves. Ten years later, she discovers that the body of Nick's brother out in the dunes. Worse, his daughter is missing, taken by shady beings called the Weathermen. But there are greater mysteries to be discovered both about Hob and the strange planet she calls home.

Hunger Makes the Wolf is set on a different and harsh planet. It follows two main characters, cousins. Hob Ravani and Magdala Kushtrim, two young women growing up in more of a man’s world. They come from completely different ways of life, but are still distant family.
Hob is part of a mercenary group called The Ghost Wolves. Her uncle is the leader of the group, but she’s not given any leeway. She starts off the story at the bottom of the group after making a horrible decision.
Mag, we find her with her father trying to buy her a way off the planet. To do what most fathers would do in his position, try to find a better life for his only daughter/child. However, she never gets to board the transport, as they find her “contaminated” but won’t give her much information.
This was a very well-developed story about the haves and have-nots. There’s also the prejudice, as they demonize people for “witchiness”. They even go so far as to convince people that it is contagious, so as to help people purge those with powers before the people in charge, which is a mining business.
As close as this kind of story hits home (especially as I was listening to this early on in peak COVID shutdowns), I found I really enjoyed this story. While it was escaping to a world with many of the same problems I was seeing with prejudice and demonizing of others, I still enjoyed escaping to this world with Hob and Mags. I think I enjoyed seeing them do the right thing by others, even as it risked themselves.
If you know me, you know how much I love well-written characters. I want characters I like, or in some cases, love to hate. I really enjoyed the characters of this book. Not only Hob and Mags, but also The Bonecollector and Coyote and the rest of The Ghost Wolves. I really want to spend more time with them. I’ll be picking up the sequel very soon.
Narration:
This is my first time listening to Penelope Rawlins. I really enjoyed her voice. I really fell into and got lost in the story. I loved all the voices she chose for each character. I thought they fit perfectly, male and female alike. I really felt like she put a lot of passion into each and every character. I would gladly listen to perform more audiobooks.
** Note: I was able to listen to this audiobook free with my Audible membership.
I really enjoyed this new-to-me author & narrator

The plots and setting are at once familiar and unique. Much of the magic feels like voodoo, involving blood, bones, and creepy essences marking the humans-turned-witch-natives for the ghoulish corporate weathermen to hunt (I kept picturing the ghastly, suited silent dudes from the Scream episode of Buffy). Then there’s the multiple variations of what “burning witch” means. Then there’s a sinister Get Out mystery of what happens to people trying to leave the planet. Hmm, maybe this isn’t just a sci-fi, western story; maybe this is a sci-fi, western, and horror story... Whatever it is, it’s dark and edgy, and I dig it.
There’s definitely a Dune vibe, from the sandy planet to the mysterious, magical substance desired galaxy-wide, to the cruel subjugation of the “natives,” who used to be human but are now something... more. But, I wouldn’t call this derivative at all.
This book’s protagonist is refreshingly NOT a naive, royal male who first needs to be brought low before he can earn his place amongst the rebellion. We don’t spend long segments in training montages or bonding scenes. This story starts in more Mad Max or Unforgiven style, as one-eyed, chain smoking, tall and prickly Hobbs has been living alone in the wilds, having screwed up and been cast out of her adopted biker gang family. But, a family death and kidnapping pulls Hobbs back to her family and then into an interplanetary fight for power.
Yes, there were things that could have been done better. I would have liked more visuals of the world and the characters (you won’t know that Coyote is Asian until nearly the end of the book, for instance). It also would have been nice to have a side chapter or two to develop character bonds/traits for the supporting characters (At least a little bit of training montages or side missions with the gang would have been nice). Overall, however, I am mightily pleased to find such a solid, and free, book. This was good enough to hook me into paying for book 2.

As for the narrator, she is very talented but took some getting used to before I decided I liked her for these characters. But by the end, I was hoping the next book will be read by her.
Fun Listen
