The January Books of the Month are from THE BROTHERHOOD OF THE ROSE

trilogy by David Morrell.  

THE BROTHERHOOD OF THE ROSE trilogy by David Morrell is a masterful

blend of action, espionage, and deep personal stakes. Spanning decades and

continents, the trilogy begins with THE BROTHERHOOD OF THE ROSE, where

two orphans raised as assassins confront devastating betrayal. THE

FRATERNITY OF THE STONE explores redemption and survival as a reclusive

operative is forced to face his deadly past. The series culminates in THE

LEAGUE OF NIGHT AND FOG, uniting characters from the first two books to

unravel a global conspiracy rooted in World War II atrocities. With richly detailed

settings, complex characters, and a gripping mix of loyalty, revenge, and

redemption, this groundbreaking series redefined the spy thriller genre.

David Morrell is the critically acclaimed author of FIRST BLOOD, the novel in

which RAMBO was created. He holds a Ph. D. in American literature from Penn

State and was a professor in the English department at the University of Iowa.

His numerous New York Times bestsellers include the classic spy novel, The

BROTHERHOOD OF THE ROSE (the basis for the only television mini-series to

be broadcast after a Super Bowl).
