“The most credible and frightening of all the vampire books of the past decade.”
—San Francisco Chronicle

“Bram Stoker meets Stephen King meets Michael Crichton. It just doesn’t get much better than this.”
—Nelson DeMille

The stunning New York Times bestselling vampire saga that author Dan Simmons (Drood, The Terror) calls, “an unholy spawn of I Am Legend out of ‘Salem’s Lot,” concludes with The Night Eternal. The magnificent, if monstrously warped brainchild of cinematic horror master Guillermo del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth, Hellboy) and Chuck Hogan—whose novel Prince of Thieves, was praised as, “one of the 10 best books of the year” by Stephen King—The Night Eternal begins where The Strain and The Fall left off: with the last remnants of humankind enslaved by the vampire masters in a world forever shrouded by nuclear winter. Still, a small band of the living fights on in the shadows, in the final book of the ingenious dark fantasy trilogy that Newsweek says is, “good enough to make us break that vow to swear off vampire stories.”

After thoroughly enjoying the first two in the trilogy, this book was a let-down. The narrator was fine, but the story just dragged, and I found it boring and repetitive. The original concept of a vampire virus, which was the interesting part, was almost completely lost, as was the interesting mythology. Maybe killing off Setrakian in book 2 was a mistake. I'm glad I finished the series, but was disappointed with this one.

Disappointing

The story line pretty much falls flat on its face in this one. Lots of self pity and analysis, very little substance. I don't recommend this one.

Worst of the three

I have to say that I loved the pace of the last book of the trilogy! Although we look back to find the story of Mr. Quinlan, the majority of the book is fast paced action leading to a great conclusion.

I wasn't sure I liked where they went with the creation of the Master and the ancients, but as the book moved on, it grew on me, adding to the supernatural lore of the whole subject.

Now I just have to sit on the edge of my seat waiting for the movies to be made!

Great ending for a great series!

What made the experience of listening to The Night Eternal the most enjoyable?

Still was very emotionally connected to the characters.

Which character – as performed by Daniel Oreskes – was your favorite?

I thought the narrator did a very good job portraying all the characters, but in this book his portrayl of the master was excellent.

Nice conclusion to the Trilogy

OK...I made that up, but the three novels, culminating in this third, were great and cinematic, which is not a shock knowing that Guillermo Del Toro has been behind these, with Chuck Hogan. I really enjoyed these, and hope that soon, very soon, I could seen an approach to this series similar to what is happening for "Game of Thrones." Anyone out there in HBO-Land listening???

Can't Wait for the HBO Mini Series
