This book is by the creator of the CSI franchise, and it's fairly obvious. Like CSI, this book is heavyhanded with its use of metaphor and awful puns, and it has loopholes that anyone with a vague knowledge of law will throw their hands up after reading. But the darndest thing is - they're actually kind of fun. There's a reason CSI has high viewership: it's just interesting enough to keep you coming back, just vaguely plausible enough that you don't change the channel. These books are kind of li...more

After reading half of Dark Prophecy, I was convinced that it was far and away better than its predecessor, Dark Origins. That feeling unfortunately fell by the wayside as the plot disintegrated into an unsatisfactory explanation of the antagonists, their motives, and their means to accomplish their actions. The protagonist Steve Dark is back, still struggling from the fallout from the first book, still unable to stop his urge to bring justice to killers. The formulaic structure and stereotypical...more

Although I like a good entertaining mystery, I usually shy away from books that seem to focus on the evil side of humanity without any depth or redeeming aspects. So I debated whether or not to read this book, since the writing wasn't anything special and it's a bit too much on the dark and heavy side for my tastes in mindless reading.

The one thing that did draw me to this book is that it calls itself a digi-novel, "an experience" that includes "digital cyber-bridges" (short motion picture scen...more

Zuiker is the creator of "CSI", & this second entry in the "Level 26" series is an exciting game of cat-&-mouse between a serial killer & the world's greatest manhunter. The first book tied into the "Sqweegel" episode of "CSI", whereas this book stands alone several years after the events of the first story.

This book (and its predecessor) are very un-"CSI" - it is more about the pursuit & anticipation than the analysis. Steve Dark is analytical, but not written to be overwhelming...more

Unlike DARK ORIGINS, I choose not to watch the cyber bridges of DARK PROPHECY in order to streamline the text.

DARK PROPHECY is James Patterson like, almost two-dimensional cardboard characters slightly balanced by high octane thrills and hard hitting action sequences. This book felt very much like a TV episode (perhaps due to Zuiker’s CSI?) with condensed characterisation and an emphasis on the quick thrill. In DARK ORIGINS, the authors (Zuiker and Swierczynski) created a truly horrifying and menacing villain in Sqweegel, a contortionist with a penchant for violence and unsettling habit of covert break and entry who really gripped the reader. In DARK PROPHECY, the villain(s) are run of the mill – a Tarot Card Killer whose murder spree spans the US in some elaborate plot to justify revenge for an unfortunate event – it’s a twisted premise common in serial killer fiction where the rationale thinker is put aside in order to follow the actions of the bad guys.

Steve Dark is the primary focus of the second instalment of the Level 26 trilogy – he’s washed up, self obsessed and struggling to come to grips with being a father to a motherless daughter. No longer working for the agency responsible for tracking and stopping the Level 26 killers, he’s a pale comparison of his former self. Choosing to hide deep within while maintaining the façade of a college professor, Dark’s obsessive compulsive behaviour sees him canvas old texts on serial killers analysing from the confines of his own home rather than the field which made his name. His white collar job provides just enough outside stimulation as to stop him from reverting to a full blown hermit. Make no mistake, Dark is a far cry from the character last seen in DARK ORIGINS. Despite a wealth of material to draw upon for Steve Dark, he still felt a little cardboard cut-out like for me.

I had high expectations for DARK PROPHECY with the ending to DARK ORIGINS setting the tone for what should’ve been a more elaborate look at the level 26 killers and the means the secret agencies will go to in order to eradicate or harness their mayhem. Despite some obvious shortcomings, DARK PROPHECY is still an entertaining white knuckle thriller that manages to maintain a degree of mystery on both sides of the law; the identity of TCK and the secret agency responsible for luring Dark back into the field. The chapter are very quick and flow well with one another (akin to James Patterson). I didn’t have to overly think anything which serves well for those wanting something quick and easy to fulfil their crime fix. As with the ending of DARK ORIGINS, DARK PROPHECY has once again hooked me in to wanting to continue reading the series. 3 stars.

I haven't read the first in this series yet, but after reading Dark Prophecy, I will certainly be catching up on the series. The characters are as flawed as the killers they hunt, yet somehow they rise above it all to catch these dregs of our society.

Throughout the book, the author adds little snippets of Dark's former life, and why he quit his job as a manhunter. Dark is such a fascinating character that I can't wait to see how his story starts out. This is the kind of book you take on a plane...more

Klappentext:
Steve Dark kann sich in jeden Killer hineinversetzen. Doch diese Fähigkeit hat ihren Preis: Bei seinem letzten Fall hat Dark die Beherrschung verloren und den Killer brutal hingerichtet, anstatt ihn festzunehmen. Die Tat nagt so sehr an ihm, dass er den Dienst quittiert. Kurz darauf treibt ein neuer Killer sein Unwesen. Seine Methode: Er tötet die Opfer nach bekannten Tarot-Motiven. Dark erkennt, dass die offiziellen Ermittler dem Killer nicht gewachsen sind. Er will selbst die Jagd aufnehmen, aber ihm fehlen dazu die erforderlichen Mittel. Da tritt eine mysteriöse Frau an ihn heran. Ihr Angebot: unbegrenztes Budget, solange Dark für sie exklusiv Serienkiller jagt. Ohne die Grenzen von Justiz und Moral …

Über die Autoren:

Fazit:
Dunkle Prophezeiung ist der zweite Band der Level 26 Trilogie (oder Reihe, ich weiß bis jetzt nur von 3 Büchern) Ich war von dem ersten Band Dark Origins total beeindruckt. Ich hab erst im Nachhinein bemerkt das es von Anthony E. Zuiker ist, welcher der Macher von CSI ist. (ja, obwohl es dick und fett auf dem Umschlag steht! hehe) Und noch später habe ich diese sogenannten Videobrücken bemerkt, die manche Kapitel verbinden. Das Buch war sehr spannend und es hatte ein offenes Ende, also war ich sehr gespannt auf den zweiten Band.
Letzten Monat hatte ich das Glück und fand es im Buchladen und musste es sofort mitnehmen. Ich hab es sofort verschlungen und gelesen und gelesen und gelesen und… ich war enttäuscht! Im 1. Buch waren die Videobrücken sehr gut gewählt und an guten Stellen eingebunden, nicht alles hat mir extrem gut gefallen, aber die Videos sind ja nur ein Bruchteil. In diesem Band war es ein ganz langweiliges Schema nachdenen die Videos eingebunden waren. Noch dazu beginnt man mit einer Szene, die erst in der Mitte des Buches beginnt… es ist schwer zu erklären, aber wer es liest wird es verstehen, was ich daran so komisch finde.
Dann gab es einen ersten Band einen extrem genialen Serienkiller und es gab ein Hinweis darauf das es mit ihm weiter geht (obwohl er tot ist) … das war zu viel erwartet. Es ging um etwas ganz anderes. Nicht schlecht, aber nicht gut für einen Nachfolgeband!
Aber irgendwie hat sich der Hauptcharakter zum negativen verändert. Im ersten Band habe ich seine Geschichte mit Spannung verfolgt, jetzt ist er heimgesucht von Paranoia und seine Probleme… noch dazu verwundert es micht, wie Steve Dark es schafft von einer Frau zur nächsten zu schliddern ohne wirklich sich bei den Frauen bemühen zu müssen. Es stört ihn eher und… der Schauspieler der ihn darstellt find ich echt sexy, aber meine Güte, er wird ja nicht gezwungen mit den Frauen zu schlafen! Das war störend!
Die Story an sich war wirklich cool und überraschtend (für mich) wenn Stark nur so genial wie im ersten Band gewesen wäre, hätte der dumme Videoaufbau mir auch nix gemacht, so hat er aber nur 3 Sterne bekommen!

This is the second novel in a series about Steve Dark who is a member of an elite government task force specializing in serial killers. The book is fast paced, if a little flat and mundane. Most of the characters seem rather ordinary for this genre, and the killings by The Tarot Card Killers are not as frightening as one would expect. I thought the most compelling aspect of the book is how deeply involved in our private lives the government has become after the events of September 11,th 2001. Th...more

It's not that I didn't like the story line. I actually liked the idea of a tarot card killer (although not nearly as fascinating as Squeegal). What I didn't like about this sequel was the online clips. In the first book, you got to see Squeegal and various action shots and killing scenes. I felt like I was being shown something that wasn't in the book. But with Dark Prophecy, all the video clips were of Steve's tarot readings (with some flashbacks). That's just boring.

This is a series that I really don't want to end. The internal struggles of Steve Dark and his balance of going over the edge is interesting to read.

As with the last one, there are video "bridges" that you can go watch that have been written and directed by Anthony E Zuiker (CSI Creator). While it takes away a little bit from the book to go and watch, they add a whole level of immersion into the story. This books' series added Justine Bateman as Hilda, the Tarot Card reader.

Terrible book. Why do some authors sell their main characters as heroes when they get them to act so dum.
The writing leaves a lot to be desired and some plot elements are just too unrealistic or plain stupid. For example: a female FBI agent is unable to shoot (misses) a large villain running up the stairs towards her, however, with the same villain on top of her, choking her out, she is able to shoot and destroy the mobile phone he dropped at the bottom of the flight of stairs... Yeah, right!!!...more

Alles, was im ersten Teil noch so extrem toll war, was mich total vom Hocker gehauen hat und mich von diesem Buch so begeistert hat, wurde hier leider total in den Sand gesetzt.

Anthony Zuikers Idee, in ein Buch kleine Filme zur Unterstützung einzubauen fand ich genial. Vor allem, wenn diese die Handlung derart unterstützen, dass sie noch schauriger rüber kommt, dass der Inhalt der Filme einem Gänsehaut beschert. Doch leider waren die Filme in diesem Buch mehr als langweilig. Sie handeln nicht mal von den Taten und man bekommt nie den Täter zu sehen, der im ersten Teil noch diesen extremen Nervenkitzel beschert hat. Hier darf man stattdessen nur einen Tag in Steve Darks Leben mit ansehen und sich dabei leider extrem langweilen.

Dadurch dass die Filme hier alles andere als unterstützend waren, blieb die Handlung leider auch nur halb so gut. Hier und da war der Fall, den Steve Dark verfolgt, zwar ganz spannend, aber es hat einfach das gewisse Extra gefehlt. Ich wollte von Grausamkeiten geschockt werden und atemlos zurück bleiben, stattdessen war ich einfach nur geschockt darüber, was Zuiker hier angestellt hat.

Trotzdem war es natürlich nicht schlecht und auch immer noch 3 Sterne wert. Denn Zuiker schreibt gewohnt flüssig und überrascht hier und da mit Details, weiß, wie er den Leser bei der Stange halten kann, so dass ich trotz weniger Spannung das Buch kaum aus der Hand gelegt habe (und einfach auf die völlig unnötigen Filme verzichtet habe).

Auch Steve Darks Entwicklung hat mir gut gefallen, da Zuiker so für Abwechslung sorgt, statt dem Leser einfach nur einen neuen Fall, einen neuen Killer vor die Nase zu setzen und alles andere beim Alten zu belassen.

Was mich zusätzlich extrem enttäuscht hat, war die Tatsache, dass im ersten Teil am Ende Dinge aufkamen, die nochmal geschockt haben und von denen ich erwartet hätte, dass sie hier wieder aufgegriffen werden, sogar den aktuellen Fall stark beeinflussen, statt dessen wurde sie aber kaum bis gar nicht mal erwähnt.

Alles in allem war ich extrem enttäuscht von diesem Buch. Ich hatte hier einfach nicht das Gefühl, es mit einem Level 26 Killer zu tun zu haben. Die Heftigkeit, das Grausame kam einfach nicht mehr so rüber, wie noch im ersten Teil und die gesamte Geschichte war daher eher durchschnittlich. Die Videos konnten da auch nichts wettmachen, haben stattdessen eher gestört und waren meiner Meinung nach mehr als unnötig.(less)

What sickminded person could come up with such twisted murder scenes?! This book though...not too shocking. And not very Level 26 either. Which is why it did not completely blow me away.

The concept of the diginovel is original: you read a number of pages and than you enter a code online to watch a movie that enhances your reading experience. While the first book did exactly that and made me stay up late to read more (or hide underneath the covers, shaking), these digi-movies just added some extra background story. It was nice to watch them, but...they weren't necessary to watch per se. And that is quite a shame.

Stevie Dark is back! But this time, he's manhunting without working for a police organisation (or is he...?). There is a new serial killer, staging crime scenes. Meanwhile, our good friend Dark is working through past issues in a tarot reading shop (no, I am not kidding) and neglecting his duties as a father. Oh hell, distant dads are a trend nowadays anyway, so who can blame this guy?

Well, maybe you can blame the writers/visual creators, for choosing annoying actors to portray the characters (the Tarot reader looked like she got high on incense and Dark must have ripped all his vocal cards talking in a VERY LOUD voice). Props to the kid playing Henry, though. He's very good good for his age! Actually, he was much better than some of the adult actors in the movie sequences. Enough about these movies though, was this supposed book or a screen review after all?!

I was really glad that the author let go of all these weird supposedly sexy NC-17 scenes, though. I was really bothered by all the ehm... graphic references in the previous book. There are many F-bombs in this book, almost on every page you'll find at least one, but it made me laugh rather than disturb me.

And its common knowledge that I am easily disturbed...

I liked how this book shed some light on the main characters and what was happening to them personally. They are no longer heroes or victims; they are humans. They are not brave and self-sacrificing, they are selfish. And that makes this book refreshing...under the circumstances.

This book is an easy and enjoyable read, although it's a shame that the killer is identified halfway throughout the book already. All the mystery was instantly lost. Yet, the staging, the entire idea of this book and this plot makes it worth 3,5 stars (and I'll make it four because I'm in such a generous mood today).

But really, if I do end up reading the next installment of Steve Dark's (Mis)Adventures, I'd really like to see him chopping up Sqweegels again. You know, for old times and entertainment's sake.

Unlike the prequel, the villain in this book isn't really fascinating or impressive to me. Okay, the tarot killing is some kind of awesome. Especially with the details written. But still, it changes a bit too much, the character of Steve Dark. I mean, really, new age? Steve Dark? Come on...

The videos also aren't as good as what book one have. :/

Personally, I feel like the idea is being toned down. Somehow, that's the impression I get when I finished this book.

I liked the first book in this series, Dark Origins, enough to proceed to this second one. The murderer is less creepy than Sqweegel, but the story as a whole is just as good, if not slightly better. The video clips that support the text are less punchy, less or a requisite to enjoying the tale, but better made and their interspesion in the book is more accomplished than it was in Dark Origins. Hughly recommended. I read it in a day, including viewing all the clips.

This is the second book written by the guy behind CSI. I was a good story with a lot of twists and turns, but I missed the CSI aspect of things. The first one had a bit more of the investigators in it, though not our friends from the TV show. It did however feature a criminal who appeared on an episode of the show. Kind of made some of it easier to picture. What I'd really love is a book featuring the old CSI characters.

Good follow up to the first in the trilogy. It'll be interesting to see where they Ke the Steve Dark character after this. Also, the Lisa Graysmith character is a fine addition. For the first time I watched one of the 'video bridges' they built into the stories. Though Indidn't see him, I thought Michael Ironsides is an interesting choice for Riggins. Not what I pictured reading the book, but I doubt I'll be able to read the third book without visualizing him in that 'role.'
