Description

<p><span style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">What happens when a king loses his prowess? The day Henry IV could finally declare he had vanquished his enemies, he threw it all away with an infamous deed. No English king had executed an archbishop before. And divine judgment was quick to follow. Many thought he was struck with leprosy—God's greatest punishment for sinners. From that point on, Henry's health was cursed and he fought doggedly on as his body continued to betray him—reducing this once great warrior to an invalid. Fortunately for England, his heir was ready and eager to take over. But Henry wasn't willing to relinquish what he had worked so hard to preserve. No one was going to take away his royal prerogative—not even Prince Hal. But Henry didn't count on Hal's dauntless nature, which threatened to tear the royal family apart.</span></p>

It's very difficult to find worthy thrillers, it seems, but this one is a winner. This was me, during the last chapter and epilogue: <br /><br />&quot;Oh, that bastard, Jon F. Merz!&quot; (but in a GOOD way! ;) ) <br /><br />He had me raging and screaming against him... <br /><br />&quot;NO! He can't do THAT!&quot; <br /><br />&quot;Yes! He DID do it.&quot; <br /><br />&quot;NO! He's doing something else even WORSE!&quot; <br /><br />&quot;Eeeeeekkkkkk!!!&quot; <br /><br />This was a really fun book unto the very last page. <br /><br />Frank Jolino and Ernst Stahl, professional assassins and strangers to one another, become linked in a very unusual way. What ensues is a LOT of excitement and an ending that had my head thinking it was playing Twister. <br /><br />Read this book for FUN! <br /><br />It would be a terrific movie, too. <div style="padding-top:10px;clear:both;width:100%;"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td valign="top"> <div style="padding-right:15px;"> <div style="padding-bottom:5px;"> <strong class="tiny" style="color:#666666;white-space:nowrap;"> Help other customers find the most helpful reviews </strong> </div> <div> Was this review helpful to you? <span style="margin-left:-3px;"> <a><img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/x-locale/communities/reviews/btn-yes-sec-md._V8278393_.gif" alt="Yes" border="0" height="18" width="35" /></a> <a><img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/x-locale/communities/reviews/btn-no-sec-md._V8278393_.gif" alt="No" border="0" height="18" width="35" /></a><span class="tiny"></span> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/vote/ref=cm_cr_pr_voteyn?ie=UTF8&amp;2115%7CR3OTPI1Z6L4SI0.contentAssoc.1.id=A13WHGAB98A0MQ&amp;type=pipeline&amp;uid=2115R3OTPI1Z6L4SI0HelpfulReviews4&amp;2115%7CR3OTPI1Z6L4SI0.contentAssoc.1=1&amp;uri=%2Fgp%2Fcustomer-reviews%2FB0020HR7KW&amp;qv=1%7CbySubmissionDateDescending%7Ccm_cr_dp_all_summary&amp;contentId=2115%7CR3OTPI1Z6L4SI0&amp;label=Helpful&amp;2115%7CR3OTPI1Z6L4SI0.contentAssoc.1.type=AmazonCustomer&amp;2115%7CR3OTPI1Z6L4SI0.contentAssoc.2=1&amp;qk=showViewpoints%7CsortBy%7Cref_&amp;ifRes=showYesNoResponse&amp;2115%7CR3OTPI1Z6L4SI0.contentAssoc.2.type=ProductSet&amp;2115%7CR3OTPI1Z6L4SI0.contentAssoc.2.id=B0020HR7KW&amp;context=Reviews&amp;needsSignIn=1&amp;voteValue=1"><img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/x-locale/communities/reviews/btn-yes-sec-md._V8278393_.gif" width="35" alt="Yes" height="18" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/vote/ref=cm_cr_pr_voteyn?ie=UTF8&amp;2115%7CR3OTPI1Z6L4SI0.contentAssoc.1.id=A13WHGAB98A0MQ&amp;type=pipeline&amp;uid=2115R3OTPI1Z6L4SI0HelpfulReviews4&amp;2115%7CR3OTPI1Z6L4SI0.contentAssoc.1=1&amp;uri=%2Fgp%2Fcustomer-reviews%2FB0020HR7KW&amp;qv=1%7CbySubmissionDateDescending%7Ccm_cr_dp_all_summary&amp;contentId=2115%7CR3OTPI1Z6L4SI0&amp;label=Helpful&amp;2115%7CR3OTPI1Z6L4SI0.contentAssoc.1.type=AmazonCustomer&amp;2115%7CR3OTPI1Z6L4SI0.contentAssoc.2=1&amp;qk=showViewpoints%7CsortBy%7Cref_&amp;ifRes=showYesNoResponse&amp;2115%7CR3OTPI1Z6L4SI0.contentAssoc.2.type=ProductSet&amp;2115%7CR3OTPI1Z6L4SI0.contentAssoc.2.id=B0020HR7KW&amp;context=Reviews&amp;needsSignIn=1&amp;voteValue=-1"><img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/x-locale/communities/reviews/btn-no-sec-md._V8278393_.gif" width="35" alt="No" height="18" border="0" /></a> </span> </div> </div> </td> <td bgcolor="#cccccc" width="1"> <br /></td> <td align="left" valign="top"> <div style="padding-left:15px;"> <div style="white-space:nowrap;"> <span class="tiny"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/PARALLAX/product-reviews/B0020HR7KW/ref=cm_cr_dp_all_summary?ie=UTF8&amp;showViewpoints=1&amp;sortBy=bySubmissionDateDescending#">Report this</a> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/vote/ref=cm_cr_pr_inapp?ie=UTF8&amp;2115%7CR3OTPI1Z6L4SI0.contentAssoc.1.id=A13WHGAB98A0MQ&amp;type=pipeline&amp;2115%7CR3OTPI1Z6L4SI0.contentAssoc.1=1&amp;uri=%2Fgp%2Fcustomer-reviews%2FB0020HR7KW&amp;template=inappropriate&amp;response=report&amp;qv=1%7CbySubmissionDateDescending%7Ccm_cr_dp_all_summary&amp;voteValue=1&amp;contentId=2115%7CR3OTPI1Z6L4SI0&amp;label=Inappropriate&amp;2115%7CR3OTPI1Z6L4SI0.contentAssoc.1.type=AmazonCustomer&amp;2115%7CR3OTPI1Z6L4SI0.contentAssoc.2=1&amp;qk=showViewpoints%7CsortBy%7Cref_&amp;2115%7CR3OTPI1Z6L4SI0.contentAssoc.2.type=ProductSet&amp;2115%7CR3OTPI1Z6L4SI0.contentAssoc.2.id=B0020HR7KW&amp;context=Reviews">Report this</a> </span> <span style="color:#cccccc;">|</span> <span class="tiny"> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/review/R3OTPI1Z6L4SI0/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm">Permalink</a> </span> </div> <div style="white-space:nowrap;padding-top:5px;"> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/review/R3OTPI1Z6L4SI0/ref=cm_cr_pr_cmt?ie=UTF8&amp;ASIN=B0020HR7KW&amp;nodeID=#wasThisHelpful"><img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/x-locale/communities/discussion_boards/comment-sm._V47082363_.gif" alt="Comment" border="0" height="16" hspace="3" width="16" /></a> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/review/R3OTPI1Z6L4SI0/ref=cm_cr_pr_cmt?ie=UTF8&amp;ASIN=B0020HR7KW&amp;nodeID=#wasThisHelpful">Comment</a> </div> </div> </td> </tr></tbody></table></div> <br /></td> </tr></tbody></table><a></a><br /><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td align="right" valign="top" width="0">&nbsp;

It's gritty, authentic and the action is well paced. Wise guys, FBI agents, mob hits, bombs, great sex - this book has it all. But wait - there's more - quite a few twists and turns along the way that I did not see coming and thoroughly enjoyed. You are brought into two distinct worlds with two unique characters and immediately find yourself cheering for both. Forget about the fact that they are assassins; Jon F. Merz does an amazing job of making you care about them as people, humanizing them. This book has a little bit of everything. Mob action, romance, thriller, paranormal and even humor peppered in just in case you needed to be reminded of the author's talent. This book is pure fun. I could not put it down and highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a fast-paced, thrill ride of a book. My only disappointment came when the book was finished. I'd like to see a sequel. <div style="padding-top:10px;clear:both;width:100%;"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td valign="top"> <div style="padding-right:15px;"> <div style="padding-bottom:5px;"> <strong class="tiny" style="color:#666666;white-space:nowrap;"> Help other customers find the most helpful reviews </strong> </div> <div> Was this review helpful to you? <span style="margin-left:-3px;"> <a><img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/x-locale/communities/reviews/btn-yes-sec-md._V8278393_.gif" alt="Yes" border="0" height="18" width="35" /></a> <a><img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/x-locale/communities/reviews/btn-no-sec-md._V8278393_.gif" alt="No" border="0" height="18" width="35" /></a><span class="tiny"></span> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/vote/ref=cm_cr_pr_voteyn?ie=UTF8&amp;type=pipeline&amp;uid=2115R2GQWIPQ65NOJPHelpfulReviews6&amp;uri=%2Fgp%2Fcustomer-reviews%2FB0020HR7KW&amp;2115%7CR2GQWIPQ65NOJP.contentAssoc.1.type=AmazonCustomer&amp;2115%7CR2GQWIPQ65NOJP.contentAssoc.2.id=B0020HR7KW&amp;2115%7CR2GQWIPQ65NOJP.contentAssoc.1.id=A3HS8QM39PAN4O&amp;2115%7CR2GQWIPQ65NOJP.contentAssoc.1=1&amp;qv=1%7CbySubmissionDateDescending%7Ccm_cr_dp_all_summary&amp;contentId=2115%7CR2GQWIPQ65NOJP&amp;label=Helpful&amp;2115%7CR2GQWIPQ65NOJP.contentAssoc.2.type=ProductSet&amp;2115%7CR2GQWIPQ65NOJP.contentAssoc.2=1&amp;qk=showViewpoints%7CsortBy%7Cref_&amp;ifRes=showYesNoResponse&amp;context=Reviews&amp;needsSignIn=1&amp;voteValue=1"><img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/x-locale/communities/reviews/btn-yes-sec-md._V8278393_.gif" width="35" alt="Yes" height="18" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/vote/ref=cm_cr_pr_voteyn?ie=UTF8&amp;type=pipeline&amp;uid=2115R2GQWIPQ65NOJPHelpfulReviews6&amp;uri=%2Fgp%2Fcustomer-reviews%2FB0020HR7KW&amp;2115%7CR2GQWIPQ65NOJP.contentAssoc.1.type=AmazonCustomer&amp;2115%7CR2GQWIPQ65NOJP.contentAssoc.2.id=B0020HR7KW&amp;2115%7CR2GQWIPQ65NOJP.contentAssoc.1.id=A3HS8QM39PAN4O&amp;2115%7CR2GQWIPQ65NOJP.contentAssoc.1=1&amp;qv=1%7CbySubmissionDateDescending%7Ccm_cr_dp_all_summary&amp;contentId=2115%7CR2GQWIPQ65NOJP&amp;label=Helpful&amp;2115%7CR2GQWIPQ65NOJP.contentAssoc.2.type=ProductSet&amp;2115%7CR2GQWIPQ65NOJP.contentAssoc.2=1&amp;qk=showViewpoints%7CsortBy%7Cref_&amp;ifRes=showYesNoResponse&amp;context=Reviews&amp;needsSignIn=1&amp;voteValue=-1"><img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/x-locale/communities/reviews/btn-no-sec-md._V8278393_.gif" width="35" alt="No" height="18" border="0" /></a> </span> </div> </div> </td> <td bgcolor="#cccccc" width="1"> <br /></td> <td align="left" valign="top"> <div style="padding-left:15px;"> <div style="white-space:nowrap;"> <span class="tiny"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/PARALLAX/product-reviews/B0020HR7KW/ref=cm_cr_dp_all_summary?ie=UTF8&amp;showViewpoints=1&amp;sortBy=bySubmissionDateDescending#">Report this</a> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/vote/ref=cm_cr_pr_inapp?ie=UTF8&amp;type=pipeline&amp;uri=%2Fgp%2Fcustomer-reviews%2FB0020HR7KW&amp;2115%7CR2GQWIPQ65NOJP.contentAssoc.1.type=AmazonCustomer&amp;template=inappropriate&amp;2115%7CR2GQWIPQ65NOJP.contentAssoc.2.id=B0020HR7KW&amp;2115%7CR2GQWIPQ65NOJP.contentAssoc.1.id=A3HS8QM39PAN4O&amp;response=report&amp;2115%7CR2GQWIPQ65NOJP.contentAssoc.1=1&amp;qv=1%7CbySubmissionDateDescending%7Ccm_cr_dp_all_summary&amp;voteValue=1&amp;contentId=2115%7CR2GQWIPQ65NOJP&amp;label=Inappropriate&amp;2115%7CR2GQWIPQ65NOJP.contentAssoc.2.type=ProductSet&amp;2115%7CR2GQWIPQ65NOJP.contentAssoc.2=1&amp;qk=showViewpoints%7CsortBy%7Cref_&amp;context=Reviews">Report this</a> </span> <span style="color:#cccccc;">|</span> <span class="tiny"> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/review/R2GQWIPQ65NOJP/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm">Permalink</a> </span> </div> <div style="white-space:nowrap;padding-top:5px;"> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/review/R2GQWIPQ65NOJP/ref=cm_cr_pr_cmt?ie=UTF8&amp;ASIN=B0020HR7KW&amp;nodeID=#wasThisHelpful"><img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/x-locale/communities/discussion_boards/comment-sm._V47082363_.gif" alt="Comment" border="0" height="16" hspace="3" width="16" /></a> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/review/R2GQWIPQ65NOJP/ref=cm_cr_pr_cmt?ie=UTF8&amp;ASIN=B0020HR7KW&amp;nodeID=#wasThisHelpful">Comment (1)</a> </div> </div> </td> </tr></tbody></table></div> <br /></td> </tr></tbody></table><a></a><br /><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td align="right" valign="top" width="0">&nbsp;

Merz books, very suspenseful and good. A different aspect of the powers of the universe and the mind of two different assassins. Shows how far the love of a father will go for his child. The conscience of another. What would you do if you can see what someone else want's to do, and it wrong or right. Would you stop it, would you let it happen. Read what happens. It will keep you at the edge of your seat. <div style="padding-top:10px;clear:both;width:100%;"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td valign="top"> <div style="padding-right:15px;"> <div style="padding-bottom:5px;"> <strong class="tiny" style="color:#666666;white-space:nowrap;"> Help other customers find the most helpful reviews </strong> </div> <div> Was this review helpful to you?

What it doesn't say is that this book holds your interest and is full of good dialog and a very likable character who happens to be an assassin.
