Relation During Books The Keep (Adversary Cycle #1)
"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. And when an elite SS extermination squad is dispatched to solve the problem, the men find a something that's both powerful and terrifying. Invisible and silent, the enemy selects one victim per night, leaving the bloodless and mutilated corpses behind to terrify its future victims. 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.Particularize Books Concering The Keep (Adversary Cycle #1)

High in the Transylvanian mountains lies a keep that is being tended to everyday, nobody lives there and there is no known history concerning this fortress high on this pass.1941 and a Nazi army detail enters this keep in order to make it a permanent fortress to safe keep nazi and Romanian interests. The strange keep with its thousands of crosses generates greed and in damaging the keep the German soldiers release and ancient evil. One that takes lives and drinks blood. A message for help sendsI really enjoyed this fascinating good versus evil story set in a keep in Romania during WW2. Who is behind the characters of Molasar and Glenn and why are they fighting against each other since the beginning of the world? What connection is to Dracula/Vlad Tepes (you really got new unknown aspects here)? Compelling story with intriguing characters, Nazi villains and an evil force you can really be afraid of. A bit too long though but very eerie (Molasar) and uncanny at some parts (especially

The SS unwittingly let something loose in the Keep. The SS start dying horrible deaths - and Nazi's being turned into chunky bits is always a good thing. I
I read this book some years ago (I seem to say that a lot). I ran across it on the "Best Heroic Fantasy" list. I wouldn't really rate it "Heroic Fantasy"...anyway.Is the villain really the "proto-vampire"? Is the hero maybe as bad as the villain? These and other questions will be answered...but you need to get through it to the end. It's not a bad book but I've read a lot better.Th two main characters are linked together,immortal since what we are told is the first age of the world. One evil the
This is the first book in "the adversary cycle" series of novels. It doesn't end on any kind of cliffhanger, though, so it can definitely be read on its own.The PlotThere are basically 2 forces in the universe: Chaos and light. Both forces have their own agents. In "The Keep", we meet 2 of them.It's 1941 in Europe. The Germans have invaded Poland and are extending into Romania. A German regular army company has been ordered to occupy a keep in a mountain pass in Romania because it has a good

Request immediate relocation.Something is murdering my men. The Keep 1983Captain Klaus Woermann and his men have been sent to the Dinu Pass in the Transylvanian Alps to set up a fortified position to protect vital oil fields in Romania from a potential Russian invasion. Protect might be an overstatement. His small contingent can do little but warn Berlin that an invasion has happened. Woermann is too senior of an officer for this type of task, but because he has refused to join the Nazi
