Customer Reviews

Great book

I enjoyd reading this book. I strongly recommend to all people who likes the vampire or mage world. But if you want to read this trilogy, I suggest that you read first the Mascarade of the Red Death Trilogy first, of Robert Weinberger. Both trilogies are realted (not much).

A Must Read For Anyone!

I was completely in love with this book from page one to the end of it. I have been a fan of the white wolf role playing games for quite a while, and this book took the Mage and Vampire games and made them a reality for me! I loved it, and know that others, be they role players or even just sci-fi/fantasy fans will love it too. Komaine

hooked just by reading the first page

I picked up this book out of curiousity, and turned out to be an outstanding book. This is the first Sci-Fi book and I am dying to know what happens. It is very hard for a book to grab my interest on the first page. I started out by saying, "I'll read a couple of pages to see what it is like" and ended up reading the entire book and now I am pursuing the series.

If you liked BLOODWAR, chances are you'll like this as well.

Despite myself, I enjoyed this book. Though not my normal read, I took a chance on the "Horizon War" trilogy because I had enjoyed Robert Weinberg's "Blood War" trilogy (why is everything in trilogies these days?). Ever since the mini series "Kindred, the Embraced" aired on TV (now available as a rental) I have hungered for a good vampire story. This book is full of the same betrayal (plots inside of plots) that we've come to expect from "World of Darkness" authors. Though admittedly comic bookish, Robert Weinberg, in my opinion, is the best that "White Wolf Publishing" has to offer. A definite read for roll players and fantasy readers alike. Move over Anne Rice...

I really thought this was a great book!

When I first started this book, and realized it was part of a triolgy, I reluctantly put it down until I could get the next two volumes in the series. Imagine my surprise when I went back to read it a second time and found out it was actually number 4! Well, folks, what do you do then, you go find the first three, The Red Death Trilogy, and enjoy the history of the Kindred in the first book, then read all six for great vampire entertainment! Now, go out and get them!
