This is the kind of novel where I wanted to escape into the story whenever I had some free time to read. It's the kind of book that goes too fast. Mainly I review books that I like. This was high on the list because the characters were likable, the suspense was high, and the reading was a pleasure.

If you crave adventure stories, you might also try The Golden Catch, a thriller/adventure novel where the action unfolds in the stormy Aleutian Islands.

Morrell is one of the best contemporary American talents in the thriller genre. He's always been unique and enterprising in pursuit of his plots and characters. Forget about the embarrassing current crop of hacks like David Baldacci. Stick with Morrell. In the wake of his monster success with, 'The Brotherhood of the Rose'--this title, 'Fraternity of the Stone' follows very much the same winning formula. Its slight flaw is that it doesn't strike off into new territory. Morrell's astute descripti ...more

Fantastic sequel and second book of a trilogy. The plot is winding, but engaging and the characters are likeable.
