The Wasp Factory

If you haven't ever read this 1984 classic book, I suggest you do. Dark, menacing and a real good story to keep you hooked all the way through.

Book Review of 'Europe Has Fallen' from Amazon.com

"I picked this book up after reading the description and I was instantly
captivated by the storyline. Starting in the Carpathian Mountains during the
winter of 1875, "Europe Has Fallen" follows the exploits of a unit of British
Royal Engineers working with their Austrian allies as they are confronted by a
mysterious and evil army made up of the stuff from nightmares. The action is
fierce, the heroes brave and though they seem stiff and reserved at first, the
characters become well-developed as the story flows along. As a history buff, I
find a lot of the details fascinating and the thought of facing an army of
monsters armed with a single shot Martini-Henry rifle is terrifying.This
book features an ensemble of British, Austrian, and Prussian soldiers who are
trying to do their duty while facing impossible odds, but of these, Captain
Heyward becomes the central protagonist as the fighting continues. His
flashbacks to his happy family and adoring wife are real tearjerkers as he
prepares himself to face an army of flesh eaters, giant wolves and other
monsters too terrible to mention.This book is the first in what I
suspect will be a very successful series. I can't wait for the next book to
arrive."
