Much better than your usual sequel!

After reading "Zorachus", I had to get a copy of this book. It is available used, but I believe it will soon be re-released by another publisher with some revisions that make it more consistent with the Zancharthus series (I haven't read those...yet). This book will make you wonder if true evil thinks the way that the high priest of Tchernbog does. That is, he feels remorse, but continues to attempt to purge himself of any conscience by committing worse and worse acts. This is a great good vs. evil story, but the most evil guy used to be the most good. It's a great twist providing an entertaining action story and a lot to think about relating to repentance, free will, and the possibility of destroying one's soul.

READ LONG AGO

I read this book in the late 80's where I learned to pass my "duty" time in the military with an occasional game of D & D. The title grabbed my attention in a bookstore one day, so I purchased it. It was my first fantasy read so I didn't know what to expect. Since then I have read numerous other fantasy novels, many with interesting characters and colorful or grim worlds, but few can compare with NOG when it comes to content that gripps you. If you've never rooted for the villain before, you will here...not so much for him to win, but for him to succeed in finding the light that is hidden somewhere in his darkened soul just one last time. Quite graphic and raw, Mr. Rogers does an excellent job in drawing us a world that's far too believeable. I've since lost the book, but will buy it again somewhere along with "Zorachus". Although I enjoyed it alone, I undoubtedly missed out on much content by not reading Zorachus first, so I'll have to get them both.

Heed and read.

This book rocks! The portrayal of evil is in the truest form that I have ever encountered in a fantasy novel. The exciting saga continues where 'Zorachus' left off. The heretic priest is now hell-bent on total self-annihilation. His beliefs call for him to repent, but his soul refuses to let him. His solution to his dilemma is to bring the Dark Lord into his body, destroying the world and himself with it. His old comrades are now his worst enemies and will stop at nothing to keep the obsessed priest from succeeding. The book keeps you riveted until the very end, but is it really the end? Read and find out for yourself. Then read 'The Blood of the Lamb trilogy'.
