Publisher's summary

"Richard saw the point of a sword blade sticking out from between the man's shoulder blades. He spun back toward Richard after throwing the woman out of the opening, ready to attack. It seemed impossible, but the man looked unaffected by the blade that had impaled him through the chest.

"It was then, in the weak light from the fire pit off to the side, that Richard got his first good look at the killer.

"Three knives were buried up to their brass cross guards in the man's chest. Only the handles were showing. Richard saw, too, the broken end of a sword blade jutting out from the center of the man's chest. The point of that same blade stuck out from the man’s back.

"Richard recognized the knife handles. All three were the style carried by the men of the First File.

"He looked from those blades that should have killed the big man, up to his face. That was when he realized the true horror of the situation, and the reason for the unbearable stench of death."

Sequel to the #1 New York Times best seller The Omen Machine.

Captivating

I love Sam as a narrator :). I think the characters are a part of him as much as they are me.

Good story but too much repeated information

I have been reading about these charactors for many years and am very glad to continue on with the story. However there is a lot of repeated information and it would get quite boring at times

Not very origional.

Well there is a great wall to the north that has been breached and now an army of the dead are invading.
To me i felt like i was reading a cross between George R.R. Martian's Song of Ice and Fire and TV show The Walking Dead .
