Chronicle Concering Books The Last Four Things (The Left Hand of God #2)

The epic story of Thomas Cale-introduced so memorably in "The Left Hand of God"--continues as the Redeemers use his prodigious gifts to further their sacred goal: the extinction of humankind and the end of the world.
To the warrior-monks known as the Redeemers, who rule over massive armies of child slaves, "the last four things" represent the culmination of a faithful life. Death. Judgement. Heaven. Hell. The last four things represent eternal bliss-or endless destruction, permanent chaos, and infinite pain.
Perhaps nowhere are the competing ideas of heaven and hell exhibited more clearly than in the dark and tormented soul of Thomas Cale. Betrayed by his beloved but still marked by a child's innocence, possessed of a remarkable aptitude for violence but capable of extreme tenderness, Cale will lead the Redeemers into a battle for nothing less than the fate of the human race. And though his broken heart foretells the bloody trail he will leave in pursuit of a personal peace he can never achieve, a glimmer of hope remains. The question even Cale can't answer: When it comes time to decide the fate of the world, to ensure the extermination of humankind or spare it, what will he choose? To express God's will on the edge of his sword, or to forgive his fellow man-and himself?

Appraise Containing Books The Last Four Things (The Left Hand of God #2)

I was underwhelmed by The Left Hand of God, while I thought it had potential it was also flawed. The test was going to be whether the author built on the potential or not. Sadly, in The Last Four Things the flaws are much more evident in a rather difficult read where the author seems to have abandoned the potential and built in more flaws! The narrative style seems different, with a smug observational style and the author then rather over indulges himself in the very things that jarred in the

I was hoping this was going to be an improvement on book one, but the best I can say is that, like the curate's egg, it was OK in parts. My biggest problem was in trying to spot any general direction that the book might be trying to move in, but it seemed to be a series of barely connected episodes, mostly depicting barbaric cruelty. I suspect you have to be not only Roman Catholic to appreciate this, but to have been brought up by Irish trained Christian Brothers. I won't bother to buy the

Very good like very very good, this book is very heavily in the description of military strategy and the thought behind them and i simply love it, this book has some character development but not much, i guess Cale evolves a little but probably the character that changes the most is Kleist, vague henri is kinda of a dog that follows Cale around, Bosco and Gil are badasses and Brizca is an artist. I would say this book is a 4 to 4.5 stars, it progresses the story but it could be better, i

Wow, I'm so disappointed. I think I just wasted my time. How did this get so bad and so out of control? I had liked the first book, really liked it and I got into this hoping and wishing for a book that would blew me away... Instead, I got a bland, boring book..I swear, by the end of the book nothing has really happened. I did an experiment while reading the book and read some paragraphs and skipping some because I felt like there were lots of detail with no reason whatsoever. The writing, the

I picked up the first book based on a good review by a critic. I had a lot of high expectations from the first book (The left Hand of God) which unfortunately it was not able to live upto. But after starting the story I just had to see it through. So this is how I continued on the adventures of one Mr. Thomas Cale and believe me I was just blown away. The book was unputdownable (not only because of the long chapters).The Last four things is a good fast paced continuation to a rather slow start.

I was pretty disappointed, really. Two years ago, I found `The Left Hand of God' to be a really wonderful book. I loved the protagonist Cale, and the setting in The Sanctuary. I was looking forward to this sequel that I even temporarily quit another book I'm curently reading to start with it as soon as I got my hands on it. This time, however, I was never really dragged into the story, nor the world in which it takes place. Also the dark and bitter atmosphere I loved so much in the first book

This book is the second in the trilogy and it is about Thomas Cale who was recaptured by the redeemers and was taken back to the Sanctuary. Cale was taken back to the sanctuary by redeemer Bosco because Bosco believed that Cale had a special ability and that ability was to see things a split second before they happen. But Cale was treated a lot different than before. Before Cale was treated poorly and was often beaten by the redeemers, but now he is in control and bosses the redeemers around
