The book is a must read for any Morrell fan. I believe that this is his best work ever. From the very begining I found that I could not put this book down for anything. I read it cover to cover in 4 days. The plot is very well thought out and keeps you guessing till the very end.

This is one of David's best work. I devoured the book instantly. It was the most intriguing book I had ever read. David really pulled me into the story. I bonded with the brothers and fought every step of the way with them. It was a very visual book for me they way David penned it.

Wow it's so refreshing to read everyone's opinion on this book. I asked my friend to bring a book for me to read, and she brought Brotherhood of the Rose for me. It was fate. I was hooked, and truly this is the best book I have ever read. I am glad to read that others feel the exact same way.

Usually people read books, and are disappointed with the cinematic adaptations that follow.
Having seen the mini series first as I did, was akin to training for a sprint, wearing heavy work boots, and then being given a nice light, and comfy pair of track shoes on race day.
I've re-read this book many times over the years, and it never gets old.

I had just finished reading First Blood and I took a chance on this book by the author. I'm glad I did. It was very good and hard to put down. I'm looking forward to the rest of the trilogy.

I just kept thinking I was re-reading The Company by Robert Littell which was much better...but in all honesty, Morrell's book came first.

Chris and Saul were orphans and bonded as brothers during their time in a Philadelphia school for boys. Elliott, their surrogate father, befriended them early and would visit them, each time giving them candy and taking them on excursions as a father might do. The two became like brothers and were gradually trained to become expert assassins. Their training included a stay in an Israeli camp, where they learned to be expert in hand to hand combat. They gradually become aware that all is not what it seems, as they become targets themselves by men who use the same Israeli-style attacks that they had learned. They found that the man who was their parent figure now wanted to kill them for reasons they can't understand. The action and deft plot development make this book, and the excellent audio book that followed it as a must for any admirer of the thriller novel. It is another morning book by David Morrell. It should be started in the morning, as you will not get any sleep until you have finished it.

While Covenant of the Flame is a good book it is not part of the trilogy that I originally wrote. The Trilogy is as follows: Brotherhood of the Rose, Fraternity of the Flame and the League of Night and Fog. These should all be read together and in this order.

This is one of the best books I have ever read. I found it in my mothers collection of books when I was 13 or 14, and I still have it, and I still read it, it's really that good. If you want a really good read, check it out.

This was the book that got me hooked on reading. any of david morrell's books are better than movies and most other authors. this one i especially like because he goes into the childhood of the characters. this one was thrilling, suspenseful and action-packed.
