Usually I enjoy books in this genre, but The League of Night and Fog just didn't come through for me. The premise is a clear one, built around a loosely organized team searching desperately for the perpetrators of a series of kidnappings. All of the victims share a secret that dates back to WWII, being members of a crack unit dedicated to rescuing Jews from the Nazi death squad, The League of Night and Fog. Half a century later, it's up to the children of these men to rescue them, if they're sti

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.

The final book of David Morrell's excellent trilogy is a notch below the previous two books (The Brotherhood of the Rose, The Fraternity of the Stone). It's still quite entertaining, with relentless pace and a great attention to detail. The main problem is that it is a virtually identical word count to the previous books, and yet has three to four times the characters and many more plot threads. It feels like a highlight reel of a book at times rushing from one scene to the next. My edition

This is the continuation of the The Fraternity of the Stone. Drew is again drawn out of his self imposed reclusiveness and gets involved with holocaust survivors who have mysteriously disappeared. Again, a good escapist read. An interesting part of this book was that some of it took place in my home town (where the author spent some time as a youth). It was fun to read about driving routes and places that were familiar … very cool.

Hmmm, pretty generic actioner, interesting in that it preceded the crop of Catholic intrigue novels from the last several years by a decade-and-a-half. Not quite pulp, entertaining as long as you can read past the exclamation points and italic emphasis ...

I enjoyed this book when i read it, but it left very little impression on me other than that...thus the 3 stars instead of higher. i remember I liked it, but little else.

I the late-80's / early-90's I went on a Morrell binge, reading Brotherhood of the Stone (or was that Fraternity...) and other thrillers, and I had a good time. This book makes me wonder what I was thinking. Absurd coincidences are covered by having the characters notice what amazing coincidences are occurring (sort of like the Zucker brothers' spy movie...). The characters even notice that as they (groups from previous novels) meet, there are remarkable similarities in their stories! Of course,

I liked how the author took the main characters from two previous unrelated novels and brought them together for a combined sequel.

Great spy novel. Also interesting underlying story about family, who you consider a family, and betrayal.

Somewhat predictable... a quick and fun read. Definitely not boring and worth the time.

I was really excited to find out that this book tied in The Fraternity of the Stone and Brotherhood of the Rose. It is worth the read!

Nazi war criminals that have been hiding all these years are now about to see their retribution. Their now successful offspring will also pay the price. The SS practice of the Night and Fog is now being turned against these Nazi SS survivors in hiding. Exciting story of with multiple characters ultimately pursuing the same aim. Various involved tangents that all tie up well in the end.

Couldn't get into it. Tried about 60 pages and gave up. Didn't like the story line, didn't like the writing. Don't like to start a book and not finish but couldn't find any reason to continue this one. Maybe I'll try again in the distant future. But I doubt it.

Basically book three of Brother of the Rose and Fraternity of the Stone. Takes one hero from Brotherhood and the other from Fraternity and brings them together. Not as good as the first two but still a must read.

This features the characters from The Brotherhood of the Rose and The Fraternity of the Stone. Very fine. In a way, it's a kind of sequel to both of them.

I gave up about halfway. There was action and story but I wasn't grabbed by the characters. They were interesting outlines of characters but without personality or quirks. Everything just seemed to advance plot, which doesn't interest me much.
I actually don't mean this as a negative review of the book--it seemed fine as an example of a kind of book that might work for others but doesn't turn me on.
