@_DavidMorrell Loved all three. Have them on my "comfort book" shelf.

@JohnTures2 Thanks. Writers starting their careers told me the book helped them. Makes me smile.

@SenorDroolcup Thanks. Here's the back of a postcard with information about the trilogy, There's also a novella THE ABELARD SANCTION that might be with the audio book of LEAGUE OF NIGHT AND FOG.

English

@_DavidMorrell Terrific books all three! I read them in law school in the early 90s and want to get them on Audible now to enjoy them again.
English

@GenerallyMac Thanks. Here's a print ad that NBC used for the miniseries. Various studios have optioned the trilogy for movie/tv production, but something always gets in the way. Not unusual.

English

@_DavidMorrell The best trilogy that should be remade into a tv series. The original Mitchum was awesome

The Morrell of this story is...

I loved writing THE BROTHERHOOD OF THE ROSE so much that I wanted to do another like it. THE FRATERNITY OF THE STONE stands alone & requires no familiarity w/the prior classic espionage novel. But together they form a powerful bond that culminates w/THE LEAGUE OF NIGHT AND FOG.

@JoeThornton1 Thanks. The 4 titles I mention to readers curious about my work are BROTHERHOOD OF THE ROSE, plus FIRST BLOOD, CREEPERS, and MURDER AS A FINE ART. They show my various approaches to action and suspense.
English

@JohnPickles999 There is indeed a 4th. A novella called THE ABELARD SANCTION, available as an extra in the Ballantine Books trade paperback of LEAGUE OF NIGHT AND FOG. Maybe in the ebook also. For identification purposes, here's the cover off that edition.

Rambo gets around. The word is in the OED and used by astrophysicists to refer to a powerful group of dead stars. When I hear Rambo mentioned, I’m often caught by surprise and take a second to remember that I created him. Learn more on my website.

@BillJordanVO Hi, Bill. Thanks. Readers told me that, except for the computer details, the books feel contemporary. I can't recall if I sent you the front and back of this postcard about the series.


English

@SrntFruitcake Thanks. The novel goes back and forth between Rambo and Teasle. The theme is being trapped in one's viewpoint, unable to understand someone else. Some reviewers thought Teasle was the more important character,
English

@_DavidMorrell Totally agree the story was about Teasle aswell as Rambo thats why i enjoyed the book more alot more depth to the story
English

The original 1982 film, FIRST BLOOD, based on my debut novel that introduced the world to Rambo, will stream for free on Pluto TV in May.

“There were thrillers before THE BROTHERHOOD OF THE ROSE and then there were thrillers after. It stands as one of the best thrillers ever written.” – @JackCarrUSA

@theraggedwood On occasion, we talked for an hour and more. Always fascinating.
English

@_DavidMorrell Great photo. People forget he wrote one of the most successful screenplays in Hollywood history, and I believe he has a great, well-informed art collection, too, but people like to be mean
English

@theraggedwood I shake my head when I read "a shot rang out." Terrible.
English

@_DavidMorrell well, violence as it really occurs is traumatising. it's wrong for it to be sanitised in words the same way it has to be in movies. there's a great quote from Sam Fuller about how if he'd filmed Omaha beach as it occured it would have been '900 yards of intestines'
