The Brotherhood of the Rose

By: David Morrell

Narrated by: David Morrell, Full Cast

They were orphans, Chris and Saul - raised in a Philadelphia school for boys, bonded by friendship, and devoted to a mysterious man called Eliot.

He visited them and brought them candy.

He treated them like sons.

He trained them to be assassins.

Now he is trying desperately to have them killed.

Spanning the globe, here is an astonishing novel of fierce loyalty and violent betrayal, of murders planned and coolly executed, of revenge bitterly, urgently desired.

Critic reviews

"Riveting...Crackling...It really moves." ( Washington Post Book World)

Good story line

Good story, looking forward to the next book. Didn’t really care for the narrator though.

wonderfully written.

the narration was enjoyable and clear. the story is timeless and prescient. the concept of the bonds formed in hardship are illustrated well here.

Strong story, a tad long

Worth a credit. Warning: the book is more than 20 years old and feels a bit dated.

I prefer single readers to casts, but the story itself is strong and held my attention most of the way. I did feel, however, that it began to grow a bit predictable and I was ready for the story to wind up about 45 minutes before it actually did.

I did not find the reading too clipped or fast. I'll read more Morrell after this one.

Read this many years ago & seen the movie, always wanted to see of I could get it again. Not disappointed in yhe least...

I read

This several years ago. The reading is terrible. I like one reader, not a full cast. Really messed up my experience..
