Review

Praise for THE NIGHT ETERNAL:

‘A devilishly good read, full of satisfying scares’ Stephen King

Praise for THE FALL:
‘The climax, all fire and brimstone, nicely sets up the third and final volume’ Financial Times

‘Enough blood-curdling action to set up a gory finale’ News of the World

‘Relentlessly paves the way for what promises to be an epic third book’ Kirkus

Praise for THE STRAIN:
‘A near-flawless thriller’ News of the World

‘A rattling piece of escapism’ The Times

‘The first in a trilogy that soars with spellbinding intrigue. Truly, an unforgettable tale you can’t put down once you read the first page. I can’t wait until the next one.’ Clive Cussler

‘Blood and apocalypse mix in a terrifying story that feels like it was ripped from today's headlines. Vividly wrought and relentlessly paced, THE STRAIN haunts as much as it terrifies. I cannot wait to see where Del Toro and Hogan take us next.’ James Rollins

‘Diverting and never less than expertly crafted’ Guardian

Disappointing 21 Oct 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
I loved The Strain. Some of the actual writing, the words and expressions, annoyed me but I put that down to the differences between US and British English. The story worked, had pace, gripped me and I wanted to read and read. Not The Night Eternal. This time, without any real plot, without pace to drag me along, I simply found myself stumbling over the prose which, in parts, is plain bad. Where was the editor? No sense of horror, no tension.A shame, because the premise has potential.

So disappointed 26 Oct 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I loved The Strain, enjoyed The Fall and was so so so disappointed by this, the final book in the trilogy. It lost the inventiveness and tension of the previous 2 books and I really missed the best character Setrakian. It read like a book that both writers didn't quite know how they wanted it to end and so they finish with, even by fantasy standards, a complete Cock and Bull story!!!!

Disappointing 29 Oct 2011
Format:Hardcover
I liked the 1st 2 books of the series, so I was eagerly awaiting this one, even going as far as to pre order it.

Yet the book was a serious disappointment. Eph, the main character, had been turned into a drug abusing, moaning loser. In-spite of this, everyone keeps saying how great he is, that he is the chosen one.

The book is slow, and nothing much happens. It looks like the authors were just trying to meet some arbitrary word limit. About half way, I was like "Oh go on, finish the damn book already."

The 1st book was heavily marketed sort of like a CSI meet vampires- the hero studies vampires scientifically, fighting them with modern technology like hand held UV rays.

And yet, here, suddenly it is revealed the vampires were formed from the body parts of a fallen angel. And all this was God's plan. Eph, like Neo from the Matrix, is the "chosen" one.
Mind you, I have no problem with books on angels and demons- I am fine with them. But this books didn't start out as that. They should have stuck to the genre/format of the 1st 2 books.

Suddenly, Eph is the chosen one and he will defeat the ancient fallen angels, even though he behaves like a loser the whole book.

Slow, boring, avoid. If you have read the 1st 2 books, and want to know the ending, here it is, for free:

Angel fell to Earth, for no reason became vampire. Angel killed by other Angels, and his body parts scattered, from where the ancients and the master were born. At the end, they go to the place where master born, keep the ashes of the ancients there and blow up the place with a nuke. Master dies, and the ancient angel is reborn. He becomes a goody goody angel once again, goes back to heaven, and everyone lives happily for ever.

Except for the reader, who paid hard earned money for this tosh.

A good concept handled poorly
I went into reading this with expectations of something quite innovative. It is a very good premise. But I am sorry to say it is handled badly in this particular book. Read more

Anti-Climax to a Great Series
There was no spring in this novel's step that the two previous chapters possessed. It seemed like a straight run to the finale with little in the way of twists and turns. Read more

The Night Eternal
A great end to the trilogy with quite an unexpected ending. It is fast paced and really gives an impression of a few trying to prevent the end of mankind. Well worth the effort.
