review 1: Knights in bloody armor, plague-made zombies, and a mission to rescue a fair maiden. What more can you possibly want? Perhaps, a good story and characters to tie them all together of which he does just that. I had just finished the Beast of Maug Maurai (which I loved - but just when you get either invested or introduced to everyone, you are left waiting. . .) and thought this was going to be the sequel to that. However, once I got over my initial disappointment, I dug into this one and loved every minute of it. There is not only historical facts interspersed throughout but he tells you what's history and what's fiction at the end of each chapter. The humor and wit portrayed between the knights made this dark journey all the more fun and adventurous and made you care a... morebout all three. Some definite laugh out loud one liners! Luckily, I bought them all at once so I was able to read one right after the other because (had I known it was a serial) I think I would have slit my wrists having to wait for the next installment. And, unlike The Beast, you have more of a full story before he leaves you to wait for the next in the book - series? Since this is my first experience with a serial not sure how these operate. Definitely more story to come, but at least I wasn't left left completely hanging. Talk about a thrill a minute! Perhaps would make for a good series on HBO. I hope Calas can quit his day job and write faster. . .
review 2: I really enjoyed The Scourge. It's not only an excellent zombie tale, but it also offers unique perspective, setting, and time period (Medieval England). It's a satisfying read, and the ending leads me to believe there is (or will be) another tale with Sir Edmund and his cohorts. If you love zombies and appreciate excellent storytelling, then download The Scourge by Roberto Calas as soon as you possibly can. less
