  <default_description>GRAVE FORCES ARE converging to seize control of the Book of Thoth, a hidden artifact whose pages hold the key to creating&amp;#8212;or unraveling&amp;#8212;the very threads of existence. Under the care and tutelage of Cooper, Rowan&amp;#8217;s most lethal Agent, Max McDaniels and David Menlo embark on a quest to protect the book from the demon Astaroth, who would exploit its secrets with dire consequence. And with Astaroth free after centuries of imprisonment, the world outside Rowan&amp;#8217;s gates has already become hostile.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Far from home, cut off behind enemy lines, Max and his allies must journey across Europe, descend into the fabled Frankfurt Workshop, brave the tangled corners of the Black Forest . . . and cross beyond the veils of our very world.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This was a really good book... it just got a little surreal and didn't have as much character development.  I liked the first one better.  I think this would be confusing if you hadn't read the first one.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I thought this book was even better than Book One.  I couldn't put it down once I started it.  The intrigue of who to trust or not to trust was compelling.  The only bummer is having to wait till Book Three comes out.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Even with its Potter/Jackson-ness, these are good books. Darker, perhaps. The bad guy is almost nice and that makes him scarier. There are some interesting ideas about destiny and purpose and identity within the story.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The second in the series, this book clearly stands alone and proves that it is not a &quot;Harry Potter Rip off&quot;.  Excellent story line, character development and I can't wait for the third to be released next month.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This second book moves away from the Harry Potter type and takes a life of its own.  This book covers a lot of ground.  I am looking forward to reading the third one.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Wow, the story definitely progressed and hardly resembles Harry Potter in any way any more. It was good, but it probably could have been cut in half to make two books, very long and lots of stuff was happening. But anyways, pretty good. Wish I could read the third but I guess it doesn't come out til...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/59269297">more...</a>]]></body>
