It began with a simple question, sent from an unknown e-mail
address, and it kindled the fires of a quest that would take him on
a journey of discovery spanning several years; a journey that would
lead him closer to the enigmatic secret society known as the Odin
Brotherhood. Continuing a quest for understanding which had been
started by his mentor years earlier, and following a trail of
cryptic clues and mysterious lore, Canadian author Jack Wolf set
out on a journey into the workings of this largely undocumented
secret society. Accompanied by a mysterious informant known only as
Crow, he embarks on a series of adventures that will ultimately
draw him closer to penetrating the history, lore and secrets of
this elder pagan fraternity -- an entity which has existed for
nearly six hundred years.

Jack was just an ordinary little boy who wanted the friendship of
two dogs. Little did he know when he adopted Archie & Hazel
that his life would change forever. Archie & Hazel are leaders
in a super secret animal spy agency. After brining the dogs home in
an unusal storm, Jack learned to hear animals talking and his
journey to help save the planet from the evil Dr. X began.. In this
first adventure, Jack, Archie & Hazel stop Dr. X's plot to use
his latest invention, Monster Zoom, from destorying the planet in a
giant tidal wave. With a little help from Wally the Whale, Harry
the Octopus and Jack's quick thinking, the plot is averted and the
planet is saved. Flying dog ships, holograms and submarines all
become part of Jack's new adventures with Spy Dogs Archie &
Hazel.
Jack Wolf's poems are products of a life rich in experiences of
war, love and renunciation, amid many of the world's diverse
seasons and horizons. He has studied the old and new masters,
especially those of his twentieth century, then expressed his own
unique poetic voice. His rare lyrical gift, and his ability to
paint simple and complex pictures with words, suggest his other
great talent: to paint with brushes. -- John K. Cooley, American
foreign correspondent and author. Wolf's poetry samples the dreams
of a young boy, the ever changing scenes of maturity, and the
realizations of our later years. Each is a fresh and entertaining
look at the times of our lives. -- Harry L. Sandberg, Retired
Research Director from McDonnell-Douglas Aircraft Company. Getting
to know Jack "The Professor" was like finding a hidden treasure of
talent, wit, and wisdom. A great storyteller, when he puts his
thoughts into verse, he takes you from the peaceful countryside
into quiet suburbia and into the bustling cities. What an
incredible journey -- Alan Ramsay, bass guitarist with Joey T and
The Formula band. This book, Reflections on the Golden River -- A
jewel. Precisely cut. Finely set. -- SilverStar, Cherokee Nation.
