THE LOST BRIGADEVic De Mharburg has lost his entire family in one brief and terrible second.His sister Gillian has been murdered... and his brother Richard is responsible.Vic wants answers, and he wants revenge. But by following Richard, Vic reaches one terrible and final conclusion - that there is still one more murder Richard intends to commit...Set against the background of a world similar and yet different to our own, THE LOST BRIGADE is a dramatic tale of the nature of good and evil, life and what comes after. Richard De Mharburg is not merely a murderer - he is the architect of a glorious resurrection, the stage manager of a long prophesised, long feared return. He is the direct descendant of a man deliberately deleted from history, a man known in his time by many names, but most simply as Eustace the Evil. And Eustace the Evil has long been planning his triumphant reappearance. At his beck and call stand a gang of long dead killers, misfits, traitors and fiends known only as the Lost Brigade. They swore, centuries ago, to return at their master's call, and to remake the world as he sees fit. But Richard and Eustace have reckoned without one thing. Just like their ancestor, Vic and Gillian have found a way to exist beyond death. And they've found a whole host of allies determined to put a stop to their brother's plans.Will they succeed? Or will Richard stand by and watch the creation of a new age, a second Eustacian Terror... the dark and final victory of the Lost Brigade? Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

The novel effectively paints the rise of the villains, and in particular the lost brigade of the title, and the efforts of the heroes to confront them as they gather more people to aid them and learn the abilities that their state imbues them with. The characters are well-drawn, and sympathetic, but by no means perfect.
There is a good mixture of action and characterisation, and an intriguing structure for the afterlife that is unlike anything I have seen before. I enjoyed it, and would recommend it to anyone who likes a different type of fantasy.
