About this ebook

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.

Absolutely fantastic. Couldn't put it down. Makes a change to finally have a modern vampire novel that's actually exciting and involves gore and well-developed characters. Love the character Stone (not gonna lie I was kind of rooting for him), his charming yet dangerous personality makes him stand apart from other vampiric villains. Anyway i'm off, need to read the next book!

I have read all the Ben hope novels and found they flow well, i felt this was a bit forced and i actually did not have much empathy for any of the characters. The hero's a bit weak and the heroine un likable really. Might persevere with the next one and see if i take to them more.

I have been a huge fan of Scott's writing for a long time, enjoying his unique and captivating story telling and the emotion and empathy you feel for his characters. This is a deviation from the Ben Hope books that initially captured my interest and as usual with Scott the new series are just as alluring, engrossing and emotional captivating as his previous efforts.
