The Keep is the first book in a series by F. I loved the writing, the plot, the characterization and all the action. It was great from beginning to end! Germany is winning the war and concentration camps are in full force. I had no issues with Nazi scum getting killed each night. Sorry, not sorry. Professor Cuza and his daughter Magda are now forced to find out what is killing these men and how to fight it. While this is a going on, an unknown man is heading towards the action, and must stop this evil once and for all. I'm not elaborating anymore with the plot because the less you know, the more you'll enjoy it! I would recommend this book if you enjoy horror, action, history and great plots. I'm so glad to finally read this and looking forward to continuing the series, Adversary Cycle!! View all 28 comments. He was dead. And yet not dead. It is the first in the Adversary Cycle , and ties in with the later Repairman Jack novels. So, does it live up to expectation? Something in that air caused the hair on his arms and at the base of his neck He was dead. Something in that air caused the hair on his arms and at the base of his neck to stand on end. If you have read any of the Repairman Jack novels, you will already know what to expect from this book, although admittedly The Keep leans more toward straightforward horror whereas the Jack books follow a genre mishmash template. Something as dark and as cold as the chamber he had entered was awake and hungry and beside him. He was no longer in command of the keep. Something dark and awful had taken over. Two gripes. There is a love story here that feels forced and awkward. It certainly has a place in the story, but at times the author lathers it on a bit thick and the fluttery-eyed sugary-sweet gloop is hard to stomach. In my experience when it comes to this sort of thing less is more. The second gripe that I do have comes from a rather abstract place. The cover art of the new Tor editions are rather unimaginative and, frankly, boring. I much prefer the artwork of some of the older editions. She would fear the dark forever. In closing, there are some nice conspiracy theories thrown in for good measure. You know, just to thicken the broth. The Keep is a fairly solid entry in the Vampire Horror genre. Added bonus: it has some novelty value, especially if you already read Repairman Jack. View all 7 comments. Beginning in Warsaw, , this novel combines a Second World War story with Horror, creating a good mix of genres. Erich Kaempffer is a member of the SS and has just been promoted to become Commandant of Ploiesti — a new concentration camp in Romania, which is set to rival Auschwitz. Kaempffer is a dedicated man, who delights in murder and violence and also hopes to make himself a personal fortune. However, before he can set off to his new career, he is asked to visit a small army detachment, s Beginning in Warsaw, , this novel combines a Second World War story with Horror, creating a good mix of genres. However, before he can set off to his new career, he is asked to visit a small army detachment, stationed in the Alps, shortly north of Ploiesti. There have been frantic messages from their commanding officer, Captain Klaus Woermann, saying that they have suffered losses and asking permission to relocate. Kaempffer is asked to go and see what is wrong before being allowed to take up his new position. Of course, Woermann is known to Kaempffer, and their past history is one of conflict. As such, and with a much more lucrative post ahead of him, Kaempffer is keen to investigate, solve this issue quickly, and move on. This turns out to be a perfectly placed tower, with endless crosses embedded into the walls. Despite all evidence to the contrary, Kaempffer insists the problem is something that he can solve with force. Also, there is another man, who is travelling across Europe, on a mysterious mission involving the Keep. There is much irony in the fact that Cuza is Jewish and his own faith is also tested in this interesting novel. This is a horror novel which has a very interesting setting and characters.
