Book Description:
A pack of wolves makes a sudden savage return to the Rocky Mountain ranching town of Hope, Montana, where a century earlier they were slaughtered by the thousands. Biologist Helen Ross has come to Hope from the East, fleeing a life in shambles, determined to save the wolves from those who seek to destroy them. But an ancient hatred awaits her in Hope, a hatred that will tear a family and ultimately the community apart. And soon Helen is at the center of the storm, by loving the wrong man, by defying the wrong man . . . by daring to lead a town out of the violent darkness of its past. . . .

Great story in classic Nicholas Evans (The Smokejumper, The Horse Whisperer) style. My favorite Nicholas Evans. Hard for an animal lover to read, but a great overview of wolf protection (and annihlation) in the West. As usual, Evans writes with clarity and detail a Montanan (myself) can appreciate and verify.

A book that captivates you from the first page. An interesting look at Wolf conservation.

By the author of The Horse Whisperer, this book tells a tale of the return of wolves to a small town in Montana. This book has excitement, romance and inspiration.

One writer indicated that those readers who loved The Horse Whisperer wll most certainly love The Loop. I want to echo that and also add that those who haven't read The Horse Whisperer should add it to their to be read list. The Loop is a story of love, family, and man's struggle with the wild as in war beweeen cattle ranchers and government protected wolves in Montana. The Loop is an inescapable trap that kills any animal that dares to swallow the bait.

Not quite as strong as The Horse Whisperer, this was still a good read. Memorable in spots, too.

I read this boook so long ago, but It is a love story and animal lover's tale in one...easy read and entertaining as well.
This is not for the faint of heart. Very engrossing; read it in 2 days, as it's hard to put down.About wolves & a biologist tracking them. Graphic killing of cattle & wolves, so be warned. As always an excellent author grabs you from page one. All of his books are good. Highly recommend this one.
I have not read anything else of Evans but this book is very well done. He has a lot of detail work done on animals and ranching and Montana. I enjoyed the story and found the book flows well and is easy to read. I thought the end was sad but I was not left hanging or wondering "now what?". Good story.
Not only an interesting books about wolves, but also about families, love, and death. Easy read - very enjoyable!
Sue E. (A good memorable book...another winner from Nicholas Evans.
A pack of wolves have returned to Hope. Helen wants to save them. An ancient hatred awaits. One that will tear family and the community apart.
Helen Ross is a biologist who moves to Montana to save a pack of wolves. She comes head to head with the local community who see the wolves as a threat.
