Resumen del Editor

They are hunting us.

In this sweeping, threaded narrative of the global phenomenon known as the Vampire Wars, mankind is unwittingly infected by a millennia-old bacteria unknowingly exhumed by a scientific expedition in Antarctica. Now, in some rare cases, a person’s so-called junk DNA becomes activated. Depending on their racial and ethnic heritage, they begin to manifest one of the many diverse forms of the "others" that are the true basis for the legends of supernatural creatures. These aren’t your usual vampires and werewolves - it goes much deeper than that.

Conceived by Jonathan Maberry, V Wars features stories from various frontlines as reported by such contributors as Nancy Holder, Yvonne Navarro, James A. Moore, Gregory Frost, John Everson, Keith R. A. DeCandido, and Scott Nicholson - as well as Maberry himself, of course. The result is a compelling series of tales that creates a unique chronicle of mankind’s response to this sudden, hidden threat to humanity.

Great stories but not the voice acting

the voice acting can take awhile to get used to and it's not very good but the story elevates the book to a good rating

Great stories & awesome Readers

I love Jonathan Mayberry's books so I took a chance on this anthology... Loved the way the stories interwove into each other. Placing the other books in the series on my wish list!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. it's like a series

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. it's like a series of short stories that sometimes circle back. It has great characters and a variety of story lines. Interesting read.

Some scary thoughts

V Wars places a different spin on the genre with a series of narrations of vampires. Some passages are scary as they depict the impact of a long-buried virus that causes mutations. Such a virus could potentially cross species and I appreciate the author's concept. I was disappointed with the introduction of werewolves in the narratives, but I might pick up the logic with a second listening. The narration also breaks up story lines into segments. Looking forward to the sequels. I sometimes listen to these narratives before going to sleep. And they do influence my dreams...

WOW!! What a great book!!

I was hooked on this book within the first chapter and had to purchase the other two books immediately!!
This has to be one of the most interesting books and series it has been my pleasure to read/listen to!
I highly recommend the boon and series to anyone who enjoys sci fi, post apocalyptique type of stories or even horror or cosplay fans!!.
I can not even mention ANYTHING about the book as I am afraid I would give it away!! it is that good!!

First time for me to have listened to separate stories. I really enjoyed all of the stories but wish some of them could be an introduction to a novel for the full book. Good job on all the authors.
