A world of hell

What would you do, if your world came crashing down in a nuclear blast? What would you do, if you have become one with the night? A legend, a creature of the hunt? More correctly, what would you do if you became a monster? Well Charrile Brail is both man and monster for he is a Master Acient Vampire. He didn't want this, none of them do, but now that he is one, he has to survive. To remain alive, he must try and blend in.First taken by a secret goverment research team, noe he has fought them off. His escape is extrodinary to say the least. But what is even more shocking is the time he spent on a ranch in peace, only to be called to the killing grounds of Seattle, where other Vampires, the New Ones, have taken up residence.The fight is on, and Charille must do what ever is possible to live.

ANOTHER GREAT VAMPIRE BOOK

PATRICK WHALEN HAS ONLY WRITTEN 4 BOOKS THAT I KNOW OF AND THAT IS A SHAME BECAUSE HE WRITES A VERY UNIQUE AND EXCITING STORY. TOO BAD HE CANT TAKE THE PLACE OF SOME OF THE HACKS THAT HAVE BIG PUBLISHING CONTRACTS BUT LITTLE TALENT. MR. WHALEN IS A VERY EXCITING WRITER.

A great sequel

If you read Monastary, the first vampire epic by Pat Whalen, follow up with this sequal Night Thirst that continues the saga of Braille trying be human while being a vampire. For a lot more information on this author send me an e mail at rjhue@bossig.com

A story that has you rooting for the vampires.

I bought this book in a used book store. The cover of the paperback is a bit of a put off. It looks cheap and reminded me of those old B-Grade horror movies of the sixties. But I read the first few pages and decided I would give it a try. I've read it several times now, and undoubtedly will read it again. The main character is Braille, no first name, just Braille. The story opens with him being held prisoner in an under ground secret government facility, where they are exposing to him every disease known to man. Cutting him to see how fast he heals. His body resists all these tortures. Supposedly they are using his body to find cures for these diseases, but these men are after money and power. Braille is a man who has seen and done too much in life. He has extensive martial arts training, but only wants to be left in peace on an island off the coast of Washington with the woman he loves. Enter Gregory, an ancient vampire, who inadvertently contaminates Braille, making him a vampire. Any who are made vampires, these "new ones" become worse than animals. They go on a blood lust, killing anyone to get blood. Existing only to kill and drink blood. But Braille, with his martial arts training and philosophy, and his iron control over himself, was able to keep the blood thirst from overpowering him. Thus making him an ancient like Gregory. Thousands of these "new ones" are terrorizing downtown Seattle, and if unchecked, these "new ones" would continue slaughtering people, spreading vampirism, until eventually there wouldn't be any humans left. Together, Braille and Gregory set out to destroy these "new ones", and the secret agency that wanted to imprison and use them. Anyone who likes horror, will love this book. It is truly one of my favorites. I wish I could find more of Patrick Whalen's books.
