Rating: Summary: A brilliant end to a series that I wish went on further. Review: While this series is small, it is one of the finest I have read. I won't spoil anything in the book, but make sure you read "The Brotherhood Of The Rose" and "The Fraternity Of The Stone" before you read this. It isn't IMPERATIVE, but it highly recommended. Also, once you get these books, clear out your weekend. You'll need it.
Rating: Summary: One of Morrell's Better Books Review: You will find this one of David Morrell's better books. I strongly encourage you to read this after reading both "The Brotherhood of the Rose" and "The Fraternity of the Stone." (Both of those rank among my all-time favorites.) Besides bringing together the two protagonists from those books, the author (for the most part) continues blending action with logic in a way that made the first two books so much better than run-of-the-mill action/mystery novels. "The League of Night and Fog" begins with four different plots that gradually meld together. One reviewer indicated that this book him feeling a little flat. I had the same experience; the ending just didn't have the same quality that I found in the rest of the book. OK, so it's not "the perfect book." Few are. Most readers who like this genre will enjoy this book.
