The Song of Unmaking is a novel for Werewolf: The Apocalypse.
Summary[]
- From the White Wolf Catalog:
- Something Stirs…
- The fabric of reality is cracking. Fissures appear in thin air, glowing with balefire. Something is scratching on the other side, pressing, beginning to break through….
- The Wyrm’s corruption finds its way into the hearts of humans and Garou alike. Even an ultra-rational technocratic scientist can fall sway to its lies. Channeling his hate and resentment through the most sophisticated machine ever created, Basil Czajka has turned a tool designed to peer deep into the heart of the quantum universe into a nursery for the hatching of a horror — a creature whose birth cry is destined to unmake Gaia’s Song of Creation.
- The only ones standing in his way are One-Song, a broken-down old Theurge, and Lord Albrecht, whose heedless anger might be the very weapon the enemy needs to crack the egg and free the Unmaker.

Memorable Quotes[]
"I have to pee."
One-Song burst out laughing. Pearl stopped and stared at her, aghast, How could she laugh at a time like this? Even Alani frowned, like she'd caught a cub with her hand in the candy jar.
Albrecht shook his head, smiling. "Thank god somebody cut through that. Tension was driving me crazy. Hell, it's always the end of the world. Why should today be any different?" - Page 42
"We suffer an endless stream of threats. If it wasn't this, it'd be something else - a return of the Seventh Generation. Or a Pentex board member being elected President. Any number of outrageous scenarios that always seem to come true." - True Silverheels, Page 55
"If you cannot change her mind," Czajka said, "then it will not be pleasant for you, her, or any of the garou who are so stupidly ignorant as to miss an enemy sitting in their midst."
"Make up your mind," One-Song said. "We're either 'informed' or we're ignorant. Which is it?"
"Far too informed about me, completely in the dark about my enlightened technology. Both are true at once." - Page 59
"What the fuck is that supposed to mean?" Albrecht said.
"Mean?" One Song said. "It don't have to mean nothing. Least, not always something you can tie up in a bow and present to somebody."
"Then why'd you tell it? Why that story?"
One Song shrugged. "It's what came to mind. I think we let these salesmen come and sell us doom, getting us all worked up. We being garou. Us. In the end, though, we just end to trust the spirits. Do right by them. Shit happens, but give each its due."
"And if not, raise holy hell." - Page 70
"Goddamn it," Albrecht said, pounding a fist on the table. "Herding wolves shouldn't be as hard as herding cats." - Page 81
"That little wolf has some lungs on her." - Page 161
