Intriguing premise peopled with one dimensional characters. Park your belief at the door and sit down for a few hours of thriller/espionage stupid movie reading. I did not expect this to be great lit but honestly, so dumb I kinda want those hours of my life back. I should have skipped to the end.This is the third in the spy series from author David Morrell. I picked-up the series with book two, which introduces the hero Saul and his to-be wife Erika. The story continues here, where they get sucked into a plot by vengeful Jewish men who desire to make former Nazi concentration camp officials pay for their crimes. It also draws in Drew, the spy introduced in the first book (which I have not read).The plot is quite complex at first, but ultimately does come together. The heroes are not as
Story goes back to the Saul and Drew characters from THE BROTHERHOOD OF THE ROSE and THE FRATERNITY OF THE STONE. In this tale both characters are drawn into another mystery when a large number of old men go missing. All appear to have been former Nazis. I wouldn't say this one is as good as the other two, a slight notch down but not enough to dock it a star. To me, a straight three star means average. Good pacing, fast read, likeable characters and some interesting fight scenes and thriller
Amazing!
While I don't usually wax poetic about the skills of the author, in this case I will say that the continuing storyline and the relationships of the stars of the show kept me scrambling and re-reading and I actually at one point started taking notes to keep them straight. Tremendous page turner and I found myself enjoying the weaving of the story.
I'm not sure what order I read this in last time compared to the others in the loose series, but this time I'm reading it third, after The Brotherhood of the Rose followed by The Fraternity Of The Stone. I hope it's better than the last one.It was at least 3.5 stars. It was great having the characters from the last 2 books come together. The plot was fantastic, but very confusing for the first half of the book. No worries, Morrell slowly pulled the threads together into a very logical tapestry.
the ending was a bit of a let-down for me and it was not quite as good as the first 2 books of the trilogy. that being said, it was still a very good read.I gave the other 2 books 4 stars (actually let's say 4 1/2 stars each - not quite 5 but darn close!) so this is a solid 4-star book.
