Winner of The Kitschies' Golden Tentacle Award for Best Debut 2017: Dune with motorcycles rather than sandworms and all the religion replaced by gunfights.

This thrilling sci-fi Western features “a dash of Dune, a bit of Fury Road, and a whole lot of badass female characters” (Emma Maree Urquhart, author of Dragon Tamers)
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 ten 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.

Praise for Hunger Makes The Wolf

"Gritty and engrossing, I definitely want Hob on my side when the revolution comes."
- Mur Lafferty, John W Campbell Award-winning author of The Shambling Guide to New York City

"It has a wonderful weird west vibe and some of the phrasing is simply delicious. Hob is a wonderful character to follow - hers is a solid journey and I got a bit choked up when Hob stood up for what she wanted. Alex crafts a host of fascinating characters here - the Weathermen, the Bone Collector - and I reckon you're going to love their adventures."
- E Catherine Tobler, author of the Folley & Mallory Adventures

"Take a dash of Dune, a bit of Fury Road, and a whole lot of badass female characters and you've got Hunger Makes the Wolf - a really, really bloody awesome debut from Alex Wells."
- Emma Maree Urquhart, author of Dragon Tamers

"This thing drips with tension - between characters, within the story itself - that makes it impossible to put down. I needed to know what would happen next, what would Hob do. Tanegawa's World may be a desolate and uninviting terrain, but it provides fertile ground for the characters,who truly blossom on the page."
- Shana DuBois for B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog

"Hunger Makes the Wolf is an entrancing addition to any science-fiction lover's collection. The clever prose alone is enough to grab your attention, but what really makes this novel shine is how immersive it is. The worldbuilding is meticulous, the characters are multifaceted and original, and the present themes are timely and inspiring."
- RT Book Reviews

"The story is a fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat space opera, tied together with the characters' struggles, adventures, and mishaps. If you've ever thought, "You know what Dune needed more of? More magic and a biker gang!" then this book was written for you."
- The Canary Review

"I was expecting a fun, quick space adventure read, but this story is so much more than that."
- Helen Lindley
