Summary: misses the mark
Comment: I expected to be thrilled by this novel about neo-Nazis and their attempts to gain power using the spear that pierced the side of Christ, but it was an effort to work my way through this novel. I believe it's focus is too narrow-- it's missing a sense of international intrigue that you would get from a good spy novel, or a sense of awe that you would get from a novel that knows something about the occult. In short, it needed to have opened up a bit more, to have a more global perspective on what are basically earth-shaking events. It doesn't help that some of the action scenes are a bit awkward, either. An adequate time-killer, nothing more.

Rating: 4
Summary: Neo-Nazis attempt to literally resurrect evil of the Reich.
Comment: James Bond meets The Exorcist? So it seems in this typically blood soaked good versus evil story revolving around Neo-Nazi Occultists attempting to literally resurrect the leaders of the Third Reich. More gruesome fun from James Herbert that won't displease his fans, of which I am one.

Rating: 5
Summary: Great book from what I remember. Classic 80's horror.
Comment: Mancow needs a copy. Send him one if you can find it. He Has been talking about the legend. I doubt he has read this book. It addresses all he talks about when speaking of the Spear.
