Sylvester Logan James' feud with the Beast has wracked his body and bedeviled his soul, but after twenty-five years it has failed to satisfy his need for vengeance. When a werewolf delivers a pair of severed heads, Sylvester Logan James finds himself embroiled in an ancient grudge between the First Beast Prince and the seven Wolves who tried to overthrow him. Baited by a trail of dead werewolves and tracking a particularly cunning Wolf with its own agenda, Sylvester journeys across the world–from Belize to Botswana, Morocco to Malta, and Cyprus into the Himalaya on the most important hunt of his life, one that will lead him into the very lair of the Beast and to the werewolf who was once his mother.Here is one last, unflinching entry in the Autobiography of a Werewolf Hunter–a final measure of redemptive violence where every victory is dearly purchased and honor is poisoned by shame. Don’t look away.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Brian P. Easton grew up among the hardwood bluffs of Southern Illinois, saddled between the banks of the Big Muddy and the Mississippi. His father, a horseman and preacher, taught him at an early age that werewolves were evil characters not heroes. Instead he encouraged his son to read about historic frontiersmen like Lewis Wetzel, or legendary gunmen like Bill Hickok. Small wonder the boy watched Gunsmoke and The Night Stalker with equal enthusiasm. Factor into this equation a 3-ton Royal typewriter given to him by his mother the year he turned 10 and the story just sort of writes itself. Most of his works include various occult and sub-cultural references, drawing both from decades of independent research and his own storied adventures; the majority of which are completely explainable. Easton's literary influences include the usual suspects: Lovecraft, Howard, Poe and Burroughs, but none have been as impactful as Cormac McCarthy and his masterpiece, Blood Meridian. He is currently engaged in the biggest adventure of his life: raising the son who will one day replace him.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent ending to a fantastic series!
Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2015

This series is not for the faint of heart. If you're NOT into horror, violence, gore, etc. then keep reading Weenie Hut Jr novels. There are no lovable, cuddly, care about your feelings creatures on either side of the fence here.

I've just finished "The Lineage" for the second time. Wow, what a ride! You know it's good when you're left wanting more. I've never really appreciated an anti-hero until this book series came along. There are times when you really feel sorry for Slyvester, then there are times you really loathe him. There was also a time or two when I actually felt sorry for the villain(s). That's great writing when the author can pull your emotions in different directions like that.

In my opinion, it's series like "Autobiography of a Werewolf Hunter" that lets me believe that the horror genre isn't dead. I find Brian P. Easton's prose very comfortable and absolutely love the care that is taken in his novels. For horror, his writing is very sophisticated and mature. He really knows how to set the mood and his descriptions put the reader there without killing the tempo. There are few if any typos here unlike much of the dribble you find on Kindle. He bases much of his storytelling on actual events and places which helps to keep the story grounded and believable. My only complaint is that it came to an end. I felt that the ending was rushed, but that may just be because I was dreading it's fast approach. I own everything that is available by Mr. Easton, including short stories, and I really hope he keeps them coming. He is probably by far the best author in the werewolf horror genre.

I think it's been mentioned before, but a book on Michael and Prince Lucane would be fantastic!

P.S. @Brian, You have to cock a 1911 before you can engage the safety 😉

WARNING: Potential Spoliers

Where to begin? First and foremost, I love Sly and I love this series. Anybody who is into genre or looking for something different should really give this series a chance. I won't digress into a summary of what the books are about, but long story short, very nasty things go bump in the night and Sly, the protagonist, gives everything he has (literally) to fight them. This is the last book in the trilogy and while I'm about to give it some high praise, I have some critiques as well. On to the review:

What I liked:

This book is very well written. The author has really matured and it shows. Clarity, description, themes, characterization, etc. have all been taken up a notch in this final installment. Now, I'm not suggesting that the previous books in the series were not well written, because they are, I just think the author is really starting to get a handle on his craft and if the Lineage is any indication, he's only going to get better.

The characterization of Sly comes full circle and we see him reach the last rung of his descent into what I would call madness. Some people may criticize the fact he has pretty much become a sociopath, but he has come a LONG way on that journey. The author really brings to life the fact that his battle against the Beast has cost him dearly. By dearly, I mean that what humanity he had in the first book, clung to in the second book, has pretty much been lost in the third. Its harrowing to see a character go through such a transformation, especially one you've come to empathize with deeply.

The Beast is as interesting as ever. There is a unique subplot that will give readers insight to the world of Sly's most hated foe, which has never been more bizarre and unsettling. I don't want to spoil too much here, but I don't think anyone will be disappointed with how Sly's war unfolds in this book. I have three words to describe it: Perils of Escalation.

What I didn't like (or hated):

This book was not long enough. It has a heavily edited feel to it. Remember that maturity I mentioned, it's uneven in some places and leads to uneven reading experience. I don't think the author gave himself enough 'walking room', which was disappointing. I think another 200 pages could have easily been added and would allowed the author to really show off. I actually read the book twice before I reviewed it, to be sure I gave it a fair shake down, and the problem existed the second time through.

The cover sucks. Period. It's not Autobiography of a Werewolf Hunter material. The wolf face makes it look like one of the cheap werewolf romance novels that permeate the market lately. I've read these books multiple times, so you can trust me, the werewolves in this book do not look like that. Maybe that's a childish sticking point, but I don't care.

My final critique: SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS (not kidding)

I did not like the ending. I know it's a creative choice for the author, but I wanted something else. First, Sly takes a back seat to the subplot and his actions really didn't throw a wrench into the Beast's plans. It all seemed to unfold as it was supposed to, which is not what I was expecting. I guess I expected something more climactic and a nasty twist, I don't know. Second, Sly does not die. I really can't blame the author, I don't know if I would have had the guts to kill a great character like that, but I think it would have been more appropriate to the story. Plus, one of my FAVORITE characters appeared at the end, tomahawk in hand, and I thought, this is it, they're going to fight to the death and Sly will die clean. But it didn't happen. On the second read through, I think I figured out why, but I was still pissed. This and the other issues are my reason for the four stars.

END SPOILERS

Final conclusion: Read this book. It has flaws, but I still hold it in high regard. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it and will read it again.

Perhaps the most perfect trifecta books that I've had the pleasure to read. If you've read my prior reviews, you know that my bailiwick is werewolf horror and I read so much that I think it starts to blend together. This offering did stand out for more reasons that I can explain in one review. I'd refer you back to my others. However, I am overwhelmed at the scope and the fact that despite all the temptation in the world, he didn't extend this series further than necessary. Kudos sir. Thank you.

This was the final book of this trilogy. Sylvester James Logan, werewolf hunter.... There are some incredible scenes on this book. The narrative voice is almost poetic at times. This series is not a simple hairy man lycanthrope set of takes. There's a mythos, a history, that comes into play as Logan does his best to remove these monsters from the earth. Complicating things is the fact that one of the beasts he is hunting is closer to him than he realizes. Without giving it away, when I say close, I'm not saying distance....

I particularly like the plot twists and the fact that almost every major character has hidden agendas, for which they manipulate other characters. And I appreciated the absence of sentimentality in Easton's drawing the personalities of the characters--including the protagonist.

As a longtime Lycanthrophile, who's read over 400 books on werewolves and shape-shifters, I can say that this book ranks high in my top 10 favorite novels on the subject matter. But Easton is such a good writer that I think I'd read almost any book that he might write on whatever topic. It's a shame that this book is apparently the last of the series, but I hope that he'll continue to write on the subject of Lycanthropy.

Reviewed in Canada on December 27, 2019

I enjoyed the entire trilogy. I love that Logan is Canadian, and that much of the story takes place where I live. One thing that may have escaped many people is what seemed like a nod to the 1980's series "Werewolf", in a character named Janosz Skorzeny, who was a massive black werewolf in the TV series. Very good ending too.

5.0 out of 5 stars A truly deserving conclusion to the series.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 26, 2015
Verified Purchase
There are two factors that set aside the AWH series for me as being the gold standard of the werewolf genre. This first one is Easton's take on the nature of the beast. Second, is the writing of Easton itself, which was always found to be rich in the aesthetic visualisation of the scenes the main character finds himself in. In the lineage, the writing has never been better, a clear indication of the time and effort Brian Easton has put into this final (probably, hopefully not) final instalment of the series. The sheer richness in the blend of the narration and every setting made the book difficult to put down.

This third book sees Sylvester Logan James ( setting out on the long and arduous quest to fulfil the wish of his grandfather, Michael Winterfox in killing the one Wolf that he could not bring himself to do many decades previous. It is a quest that takes SLJ on a long and time consuming quest along the way where old friend and sometimes reverse rolls and scores are settled. From the start, a brutal reminder of James' earlier thoughts is delivered, where being his friend is more dangerous than being his enemy.

To achieve his final aim, SLJ has to literally venture into the hellish realm of the beast itself. The setting of the Himilaya is so truly fitting and, a masterpiece within a masterpiece of the book itself. Given what dangers the mountain range presents in its own right, you can only begin to imagine the other challenges and nightmares which James would encounter in the Beasts territory!

The previous instalment of the book left me with a somewhat, sobering perspective of SLJ. This book does precious little to change that, but his world is a world where, even without the Beast, SLJ is far from being the most ruthless of individuals. The end game was so beautifully written I do not see how anyone could have been dissapointed with its finality. There were questions that remained unanswered, which I suspect may have by design. Not for the possibility of a possible future installment, but for the reader to draw logical conclusions.

Like others, I will keep a lookout for the Winterfox book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quite simply the best werewolf novels I've had the privilege to read
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 2, 2015

And so the journey ends. Quite simply the best werewolf novels I've had the privilege to read. The Lineage brings the epic trilogy to a momentous conclusion.
I'm not going to go into the details or explanations of the characters. If you've already read the first two books, you don't need leading to water. And if you haven't, download them now, you will not regret it.
The level of writing remains on a different plane to any other werewolf book, and pretty much any other book, I've read. These aren't books to speed read through, and sometimes when returning to other fiction, it seems as though it has been written for teenagers in comparison.
In summation, thank you Brian P Easton for writing three books that I keep going back to with regularity, which makes the purchase price seem a pittance. I look forward to future works with great anticipation.

P.S
The audiobooks are a great listen too, though still waiting on Audible to record and release 'The Lineage' at this time.
