I should've read book 3 in the Furnace series before I read this, but I think it's fine to read this one after the second book. I definitely HAVE to read the third one now, because the WWII connection is so interesting, and I've heard Death Sentence is when that idea is introduced. While the Furnace books take place in the future, this prequel goes back to WWII and give some very creepy background about the origins of some of the nightmarish beings that are down in the Furnace. Smith has a knack for creating characters that immediately seem real and make the story come alive, even when it's so creepy I wish it wouldn't! ( ) I was looking at starting the Escape from Furnace series and saw there was a prequel so I figured I'd start here. This book, well, novella, is set in Belgium in World War 2, a group of American servicemen are sent out to discover what happened to a prior team of men. On this journey they stumble into some beings that are none to friendly to say the least. In fleeing from these beings they run into a group of Nazis who are also losing men to said beings. After some initial friction to two groups team up and as the story unfolds we get to know more about the beings/creatures, the mythology around them and two of the characters, Kreuz/Cross & Furnace, who I'm assuming are going to be playing a role in the latter series. It was an interesting little story, I enjoyed the writing and thought it was structured well for what it was. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

It is December 1944 and Europe is still gripped by war. In the densely forested mountains of Belgium one of the conflict's most brutal battles is raging. Cut off from the front, a ragtag group of young British and American soldiers finds itself being hunted by a patrol of elite German Special Forces, including a newly commissioned officer called Kreuz—a teenage boy who will grow up to become Warden Cross (the fearsome prison director who will one day rule Furnace Penitentiary, the terrifying underground prison specially built for teen offenders). As both sides fight for their lives in the unforgiving terrain, however, they start to realize that there are worse things hiding in the snow than soldiers. There are creatures out there with gas masks and piggy eyes (ancestors of Furnace prison's "wheezers")—demonic entities that cannot be killed by guns and grenades, monsters who do not care what uniforms their victims are wearing so long as they bleed, and so long as they scream . . .
