The Keep

The Adversary Cycle, Book 1

By: F. Paul Wilson

Narrated by: Ralph Lister

The Keep is the first book in the Adversary Cycle from best-selling author F. Paul Wilson

"Something is murdering my men."

Thus reads the message received from a Nazi commander stationed in a small castle high in the remote Transylvanian Alps. Invisible and silent, the enemy selects one victim per night, leaving the bloodless and mutilated corpses behind to terrify its future victims.

When an elite SS extermination squad is dispatched to solve the problem, the men find something that's both powerful and terrifying. Panicked, the Nazis bring in a local expert on folklore - who just happens to be Jewish - to shed some light on the mysterious happenings. And unbeknownst to anyone, there is another visitor on his way - a man who awoke from a nightmare and immediately set out to meet his destiny.

The battle has begun: On one side, the ultimate evil created by man, and on the other...the unthinkable, unstoppable, unknowing terror that man has inevitably awakened.

Powerful, exciting and terrifying. A+

The Keep is a perfect blend of white-knuckle suspense, intense action and pulse-pounding horror. Wilson creates a truly satisfying mythology rooted in strong historical and metaphysical themes. The character development is outstanding. This version specifically is bolstered by Lister’s performance, which is truly outstanding in both its range and sincerity. I’m so very glad I took a chance on it and don’t doubt you will as well. Go for it!

Loved it

Nazi zombies

it was an intriguing story but thought a lot more would have happened within the full length of the book. Well written & interesting to find this after seeing the movie adaptation, how it differed, how it was similar (not very similar). Might have to check out the rest of the books in the series after this. Only issue was the narrator reading it while doing different voices for all the characters. It's not really necessary to "perform" on an audio book, just reading it normally is less distracted (& less annoying at times).

oh yea

i like this story it is very good and fun to read and listen to.

Wilson’s best
