Winter Duty

The Vampire Earth, Book 8

By: E. E. Knight

Narrated by: Christian Rummel, E. E. Knight (Introduction)

Maj. David Valentine and his fugitive battalion are the remnants of an expeditionary force shattered in its long retreat from disaster in the Appalachians. Between a raging blizzard, bands of headhunters, and the need to recover wounded soldiers lost during the retreat, Valentine is in for the toughest winter of his life.

And Valentine is losing allies fast. Some of the clans in the region have declared themselves in favor of the Kurians, throwing Kentucky into civil war. But the Kurian overlords have determined that the region isn't worth the effort of another conquest. Their order: extermination.

Critic reviews

"E.E. Knight is one of the most consistently interesting writers in the military science fiction field. I wouldn't miss a book of his Vampire Earth series. They're great." (Charlaine Harris, author of the "Sookie Stackhouse" series)

Great all around

Great story in the series. Knight never fails to deliver and Rummel completes the experience with some of the best narration I've ever heard

enjoying the whole vampire earth series

i am loving this series. there is always something next. keep up the good work. e.e.

Most forgettable book in the series

I don't know if this book is a necessary read. It feels like a fluff piece more than anything. David's career doesn't change much, nor do the characters in the story. It feels like it could fit into the preceding novel and be recapped in the next novel without losing much. I love the series, and I'm a bit disappointed in how this book turned out.
