The Vampire the Masquerade Clan Novel Saga is a thirteen-volume masterpiece, presenting the war between the established Camarilla leadership and the growing power of the brutal Sabbat on the East... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I admit that out of the novel this was the first one that i picked up and read. good place to start at huh? I probably should have started at the beginning of the series but, surprisingly enough i wasn't too confused in this novel, without having read the preceeding events that had lead up to it. I liked the author to this book also, more so than the other i have since read. He characterizes the Brujah in the story very well, and even though they are not my favorite clan, this is my favorite novel to the series. But i don't suggest for anyone to just pick up any novel and start, and because otherwise you will just get confused. I know when i started the malkvavian novel, and the lasombra novel out of nowhere i was quickly regretting not having started at the beginning of the series.
Excellent read

Gherbod Fleming's Clan Novels are among the best in the series. This is the way they should be written. It felt like it was telling the story of a Brujah, rather than the story of a stereotypical Brujah. Would not recommend the book to anyone who has no experience with White Wolf's World of Darkness... unless of course you were willing to read the Clan Novel series (a fairly good introduction to the gaming universe). I'd also recommend reading The Masquerade of the Red Death trilogy, which is probably an easier introduction to the World of Darkness.
Now this was a great story

This book hooked me right from the start. It had great action with enough discription to put you there, but no to much to drag the story down. It also had some good cloak and dagger guessing and reguessing as facts continued to become clear. But over all it was a fast paced ride that never let me down.Also this book while dealing with other plots from the other books, keeps them in small quantity, and really packs the story from the Brujah stand point.I had to delete several more things I was going to say as I hate to do spoilers and ruin stuff for others. So please forgive the shortness... 3 more paragraphs had details better left read from an author that paints a scene I would have butchered trying to retell.I would have to say that this was one of my favorite in the series, and would have to say that no matter what you thought of the other books, you will like this one.
A unique perspective

At first I thought the book would be pretty stupid with a lot of killing. The plot however gets pretty intense and Gherbod Flemming keeps you on your toes, not knowing where to go. He is undoubtedly the best author in the series. The fact that some of the flaws in Malkavian are made somewhat relevant in this book makes me smile. Trust me, its a winner
Brujahs = angry people

This novel is great. Very similar in nature to the Ventrue style except there is a lot more violance. In this novel the main story-line starts moving rapidly. Things are happening with the Camirella and Sabbat. I saw one bloodline I didn't think they were gonna put too, that made me happy. The biggest surprise ever is for people who played Vampire, the Redemption, the computer game from white-wolf. If you did, you will see someone in the novel you are very familiar to. I highly recommend this book, unfortunately at this point, you have to read the previous books in series. At least Toreador, Gangrel, Setite and Ventrue.
