Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's been over a century since the humans lost the war for Earth. Cities have been reclaimed by nature, and the planet is quiet and empty by day. At night, feral vampires-more beast than man-roam the lands, hungry for blood. The few thousand surviving humans live on a massive airship that circles the Earth, moving with the rotation of the planet so it's always in sunlight. Alexandria Goddard is a member of the elite Ground Mission Team, a group tasked with making dangerous runs to the planet's surface for the supplies needed to keep the ship airborne. But even as the team fights for their people's survival, dangerous forces are working against them. A growing movement aboard the airship believes it's time for humans to resettle the Earth, and they are willing to go to extreme measures to make their vision a reality. As the situation aboard the ship becomes more desperate, Alex and her team discover a terrifying secret about the vampires infesting the Earth. P.T. Hylton, author of Regulation 19 and the Zane Halloway series, and Jonathan Benecke, a bold new voice in science fiction, bring you a post-apocalyptic vision of a world where vampires rule, humanity is on the run, and safety is an illusion as fleeting as a shadow.

Download or read book The Vampire in Science Fiction Film and Literature written by Paul Meehan and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-07-07 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vampires have been a popular subject for writers since their inception in 19th century Gothic literature and, later, became popular with filmmakers. Now the classical vampire is extinct, and in its place are new vampires who embrace the hi-tech worlds of science fiction. This book is the first to examine the history of vampires in science fiction. The first part considers the role of science and pseudo-science, from late Victorian to modern times, in the creation of the vampire, as well as the "sensation fiction" of J. Sheridan Le Fanu, Bram Stoker, Arthur Conan Doyle and H.G. Wells. The second part focuses on the history of the science fiction vampire in the cinema, from the silent era to the present. More than sixty films are discussed, including films from such acclaimed directors as Roger Corman, David Cronenberg, Guillermo del Toro and Steven Spielberg, among others.

Download or read book Blindsight written by Peter Watts and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2006-10-03 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hugo and Shirley Jackson award-winning Peter Watts stands on the cutting edge of hard SF with his acclaimed novel, Blindsight Two months since the stars fell... Two months of silence, while a world held its breath. Now some half-derelict space probe, sparking fitfully past Neptune's orbit, hears a whisper from the edge of the solar system: a faint signal sweeping the cosmos like a lighthouse beam. Whatever's out there isn't talking to us. It's talking to some distant star, perhaps. Or perhaps to something closer, something en route. So who do you send to force introductions with unknown and unknowable alien intellect that doesn't wish to be met? You send a linguist with multiple personalities, her brain surgically partitioned into separate, sentient processing cores. You send a biologist so radically interfaced with machinery that he sees x-rays and tastes ultrasound. You send a pacifist warrior in the faint hope she won't be needed. You send a monster to command them all, an extinct hominid predator once called vampire, recalled from the grave with the voodoo of recombinant genetics and the blood of sociopaths. And you send a synthesist—an informational topologist with half his mind gone—as an interface between here and there. Pray they can be trusted with the fate of a world. They may be more alien than the thing they've been sent to find. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Join Casey in this sizzling, action-packed first book of a paranormal romance thriller trilogy. HERE IS WHAT A FEW READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT BOOK ONE OF THE STEAMY AND EXCITING VAMPIRE TRILOGY... (From Reader's Favorite Award Review) "...Eileen Sheehan’s vivid depiction of a post-apocalyptic world illustrates how dire situations can become. Casey’s recollection of her mother dying by gunfire was horrifying. Casey’s initial mistrust of Geo was relatable. If some smelly, dirty man approached me it could be alarming. Sybil’s reaction to Casey was strange. Since she was a mutated vampire, I doubted she mothered Casey. The supporting characters were well-developed and their importance builds throughout the story. It shocked me to learn that Geo was more than just a messenger. The unpredictable plot took several twists and kept me hooked until the end. I look forward to reading more in the sequel. I recommend Vampire Witch Trilogy to readers who like dystopian stories with vampires, mutants, and rebel survival." (Other Reviews) "Whoa!! I desperately want to grab the next book in the series now! The brilliant synopsis and early reviews create such a hype before you even open the book... you feel like you already know the characters. I thought it would spoil some of elements of surprise but no it doesn't. The story is fast paced, gripping, emotional and steamy!! I can't recommend this book highly enough and I will be adding this epic author to my fave list." "It grabbed my attention and I seriously couldn't put it down until I finished it that same day! The plot was excellent. Definitely different from anything I've read. All the characters were well thought out and I felt like I really knew them. This book just sucked me in, I just cannot say enough good things. This author goes to the top of my favs list!" "I will never look at a paranormal book about vampires the same again. This book deals with humans, mutant humans, vampires, mutant vampires, a New World Order after a nuclear war, and the hatred between the groups. ..... What happens throughout this book had me unable to put it down, but man alive it was intense! One of those reads that if I said anything else about this book, I would be giving away key pieces. ..... There are so many things going on in this book. Things that I did not expect to happen did. Things that I did expect to happen did not. The intrigue, mystery, and thrills in this book kept me on my toes." "This book was so good! From the first page I was hooked and it only got better. The romance was sweet and a bit forbidden. The story was intense and fast paced and kept my attention the entire time. The characters were very well developed and relatable. I just really enjoyed this story and highly recommend it." "Vampire Witch, by Eileen Sheehan, is a steamy new adult novel guaranteed to smoke your socks off if you like hot vampire romance." "This story is told beautifully. Pick up this book. You will not be disappointed." "Well worth 5 stars."
