The List Of 7

By Mark Frost

Dark Brotherhood

As the city of London slumbers, there are those in its midst who conspire to rule the world through the darkest and most nefarious means. These seven, seated in positions of extraordinary power and influence, marshal forces from the far side to aid them in their fiendish endeavor.

Force of One

In the aftermath of a bloody séance and a terrifying supernatural contact, a courageous young doctor finds himself drawn into a malevolent conspiracy beyond human comprehension.

All or Nothing

The future is not safe, as a thousand-year reign of pure evil is about to begin, unless a small group of stalwart champions can unravel the unspeakable mysteries behind a crime far more terrible than murder.

Great book but then I was pretty sure it was going to be pretty damn good just from it's reputation and the cover blurb. The writing was even better than I thought it would be. I often stopped and said out loud, "WOW, that's great!" I like the horror and fantasy elements that took it out of the straight mystery/thriller genre (the more monsters the better as far as I'm concerned).It was really too bad he had to throw a bunch of german in on the last page. It was distracting (unless you speak German) and took away from the "surprise" ending.

Initially I thought this would be a bit of escapism, but ended up being a story derived from classic novels. I kept reading to see what would happen but it did not hold my interest enough to make me recommend to others

ah, i truly tried to love this book, but a third of the way in, i gave up the ghost; life is too short and there are too many books awaiting my eager neurons to squander them on ho-hums. however, as many enders of burgeoning relationships say, "it's not you --- it's me."i'm not a mystery buff, nor am i a fan of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. if you are, you must grab this book immediately -- it presents a lovely romp of an alternate history of Doyle's young years, before he began writing about a certain Sherlock Holmes. Frost writes Doyle brilliantly, and mystery buffs will be delighted. if you are not a fan of Doyle, you'll probably still love this book if you're into fantasy, magic realism, the supernatural, murder, incredible conspiracy cover-ups, zombies, London weather and mood, and fast-paced hi-jinks. for me, the book never really got dark or believable enough, and not being a Doyle fan, i quickly tired of his wild, far-fetched "deductions."i intend to skim through the rest of the book, simply to learn new words, and to marvel at Frost's brilliance in word play and usage. i'm glad i bought it for that alone. Frost is a brilliant ironicist, and his writing ability is triple-A. i'll check out something else by him, eventually.

A real treat for those who enjoy Holmsiana. Rather than the customary Holmes-Watson dynamic, this is a study in the genesis of Holmes, with Doyle and the mysterious Jack Sparks caught up in nefarious doings in the London netherworld - and not without a touch of the supernatural. Great fun!

Interesting mix of history and fiction with several guests from the world of fiction and fact.The main character is Arthur Conan Doyle who ends up embroiled in a mystery that involves occultism and a search for power.
