Publisher Description

A new war is dawning…

For millennia, the vampires walked the earth undetected, feasting on humans in keeping with ancient tradition.
In the Information Age, vampires realised they must be more careful to avoid detection. In the late 20th century they created the global Vampire Federation to police vampire activity, with special agents like Alex Bishop authorised to hunt down her own kind who break the laws. The old traditions are history.

But not all vampires bow down to Federation rule. When rebel vampire Gabriel Stone declares war against them, Alex and her team are plunged into danger.

Police inspector Joel Solomon, haunted by a secret terror of vampires, discovers a series of corpses left behind by Stone's bloodthirsty gang. As he and Alex are drawn together in an unlikely alliance between human and vampire, the race begins to destroy the evil Stone before his uprising tears their world apart.

Great Vampire story

Was a great, fast-paced story, stayed true to original Vampire traditions, with modern science bringing up to date. Kept me hooked all the way through, can't wait for the next one!

piffle

A very weak and predictable set of cliches.

Amazing

That is all that needs to be said. I have read the Ben Hope novels too which are completely different but just as brilliant.
