1.0 out of 5 stars A COMPLETE AND TOTAL RIP-OFF!, March 25, 2010

While I will leave any additional commentary regarding this work until I have actually read it, I am EXTREMELY unhappy with the Author, Publisher and Amazon for perpetrating this charade!

I read and very much enjoyed Robyn Young's first book in this series, Brethren, while on my last business trip overseas. When I returned home, I suggested to my Wife that I thought she would enjoy this book as well. During the course of a subsequent trip overseas, my Wife told me how much she enjoyed reading Brethren.

Due to the length of my current trip, I thought I might surprise my Wife by purchasing the rest of the series along with any other similar works by Robyn Young. I ordered Crusade, Requiem and The Fall of the Templars. The books arrived and my Wife picked up the series where she left off and gobbled them up. After reading Requiem, she moved on to The Fall of the Templars only to find that they are the EXACT SAME BOOK with two different titles??? I have never in all my years run into this before!??? Yes, titles change occasionally when translated from one language to another, but we are talking strictly English here?

In going back and looking at Amazon's listings once again, the books are offered as follows...

Requiem (Brethren Trilogy 3) (Hardcover)

The Fall of the Templars (Hardcover)

Obviously, had I realized that they were in fact the very same book, I would not have purchased both titles! As for an actual review of the book, when I have finished the trilogy I'll be happy to report back on the contents of the book. In the interim, I simply hope that this "review" will prevent any of you from accidentally purchasing two copies of the same books under different titles!

Why Amazon doesn't make this clear in their listings is beyond me?

Respectfully submitted,

John P. Sheehan

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful trilogy, May 6, 2011

By 

Bluesmith - See all my reviews

This review is from: Requiem (Brethren Trilogy 3) (Hardcover)

This series is a wonderful read! Full of factual details and terrific characterizations. However, I am glad I did read the most recent review as I was going to order what I also THOUGHT was the newest of Robyn Young's books when I realized that this was simply a hard copy reprint of the last of the trilogy. I am glad I did not waste time and money ordering and having to return it.... looks like the publisher should be chastized! The book, however is wonderful!

The book was outstanding! It had a lot of historical detail. The story was thoroughly enjoyable. I wish there was another follow up book. The author Robert Young is superb! I donated this book to the public library.
