". . . a gripping and entertaining spy
story with nods to James Bond and Tom Clancy. It is a
touching love story of two people who have been forced to
live on the edge and have lost loved ones. Finally, it is a
rip-roaring and bawdy tale of excitement and adventure sure
to keep the reader's nose stuck to the book."

"Edge of Tomorrow is a captivating thriller . . . An
exciting novel of secret plots, lethal revenge, and debts of
honor to be paid."
James A. Cox, Editor-in-Chief,
Midwest Book Review
"Edge of Tomorrow is an exciting spy novel. It takes
Hatch and Syd to many parts of the world where they fight
bad guys, help the good guys, make use of fantastic, hi-tech
spy tools, eat, drink, love, and try to stay alive another
day. It is an exceptional spy adventure and will be enjoyed
by anyone who likes heart stopping danger, romance, intrigue
and hi-tech gadgets. "
Barb Wright, Reviewer,
Murder and Mayhem Book Club
"Mr. Wootan's exceptional writing style has the unique ability to
appeal to both men and women readers. There are gizmos
galore, covert ops and a hefty page count for male readers
who are Tom Clancy fans. Female readers will be charmed by
the chemistry between alpha hero Hatch and the strong, yet
passionate heroine, Syd. Both characters are fully fleshed
out and believable. . . . The story comes alive with rich
detail and the pacing is perfect. . . . EDGE OF TOMORROW would make a
wonderful action film."

"This is a superb novel falling
totally into a new category
— Anti-Terrorism. And
the subject is presented in thrilling and spine-chilling
episodes. . . .
There are no dull moments in this novel.
. .
Wootan’s dialogue is exemplary."

Wolf Wootan, an Air Force all-weather fighter pilot (test pilot, instructor pilot, Flight Commander) during the Korean War, has over forty years experience in the computer industry, always at the leading edge of technology. He focused on joining or forming small, innovative teams and enjoyed contributing to and leading such groups into large, successful organizations. He contributed in all areas including programming, design, documentation, management, marketing, financing, and corporate planning. He has extensive experience in dealing with the highest levels of the military, including the Secretary of the Air Force; Army Vice Chief of Staff; the Chief of Naval Operations; and intelligence organizations such as the DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency) and the CIA.
Always in a top management position, he acted as Editor-in-Chief and lead writer for all documents leaving the company. He has written and edited hundreds of documents and books (many of them highly classified) for clients in high-level government positions and many commercial companies. Prior to entering the Air Force, he attended the University of California at Berkeley (Mathematics, Astrophysics) from 1947 to 1952 and, after the Air Force, did graduate work at San Jose State in 1956 and 1957.
Though he continues in his computer consulting business, in 2000 he began writing novels in his spare time. He has published two novels: Edge of Tomorrow, a techno-thriller, and Crown’s Law, a private eye mystery/thriller set in Orange County, California where he lived for 38 years. He has just finished the sequel to Edge of Tomorrow (by popular demand) called Return of the Assassin. Click on NEXT BOOK. He is now working on the sequel to Crown's Law, titled Crown's Justice. Click here to read the first chapter. He lives with his wife in Oceanside, California.

Welcome to my website. My books are for adult readers. I write character-driven action/thrillers with a dose of romance. I try to appeal to both men and women readers, and so far the critics think that I have succeeded. Try my books and make your own assessment. For those who prefer e-books, Crown's Law has that format available at iUniverse. You help me out by buying your books from Barnes & Noble, but if you have another favorite place, buy them there. Just buy them! Let me know what you think. Check out my upcoming thriller, Return of the Assassin by clicking on Next Book.
“CROWN’S LAW is page-turning entertainment.…There is plenty of suspense, action and romance in this latest thriller by Wolf Wootan. The author takes the reader on a break-neck ride to an exciting denouement.…Mr. Wootan has done a masterful job in developing characters you come to care about. I highly recommend his earlier book, EDGE OF TOMORROW, to all who enjoy thrillers.”
Roberta M. Austin, Romance Junkies, Murder & Mayhem Book Club, Amazon.com, A Romance Review
". . . an outstanding read. It is a genuine page turner, and one of the better books I’ve read in a long time. The book is so well written, the reader can place himself/herself in the shoes of the characters. It mixes suspense with emotion in such a manner that the reader’s attention is never lost. . . The plot of “Crown’s Law” is also well developed and unusual . . .an outstanding book. I’ve been sold on your work sir. Well done!"
William E. Cooper, Reviewer, Reader Views
"CROWN'S LAW is a mystery/thriller rich in plot and characterization. Wootan's knowledge of mathematics and astrophysics leaks through in his tale, and his career as an Air Force pilot fills in the rest to form a well-rounded, fun to read story of deception and love. Wootan is a bit of a romantic himself, which makes for a fairytale ending and the promise of a sequel. This reviewer is totally hooked and can't wait until his next book comes out. Get writing Mr. Wootan!"

Once again, Wolf Wootan has captured the mind of the reader . . . you need to find your favorite imagination spot, pour a drink, and open the pages of Crown's Law. I am looking forward to following Sam Crown as he brings out the Walter Mitty in me during the upcoming years of enjoyable reading.
