Louisiana, 2065. A lot has changed in the 43rd year of the Kurian Order.

They thrive on the scent of fear. And if it is night, as sure as darkness, they will come.

On this pitiless world, the indomitable spirit of mankind still breathes in Lieutenant David Valentine. Brought into the Wolves - an elite guerilla force sworn to win back Earth - Valentine leads his first command in the Kurian Zone.

Well I was really hoping not to like this book, But no it was great and I will be getting the next one, and the next one ect... If you like SM Stirling, OS Card and alternate earth futures this is for you. Excellent narration that compliments the story. This book is worth your time, Credit or Cash. Enjoy

WOW what a story

I am writing this for ALL the books (9 of them) I have very much liked these books. Some of the last ones are a little bit slower than the first ones but still a good listen. It is a very interesting story that has a way of being a possibility in our future and how ruthless, evil and greedy man kind can be. He has a very good way of showing both the good sides of the human race and the bad when faced with utter destruction. Along with the way we might behave when introduced to alien races that have been more or less planted here to fight us. I have been very happy with the way his characters evolve and build companionship. I however would not recommend these books to young listeners due to the sexual scenes are a little graffic for young readers. But other than that a very good story.

Super good read. Original.

This is a really good book and (so far) a terrific series (I'm only on Book 4). The characters are believable, interesting and I love the fact that Valentine is also polite, despite being a very tough soldier. It's a nice juxtaposition, since tough guys often become rude guys.

I guess my only "complaint" (and it's a very mild one) is that there really is not a lot of Vampire in this Vampire book.............. So far, we are hearing more about the humans that are in sympathy with the Vampires versus the vampires themselves.

Still.............I'm really enjoying the series so far....... well worth the time and money.

One of my favorite books

I read this book for the first time almost twenty years ago, I own the whole series in paper and audio. I have listened to the series at least 4 times all the way through. I love, love LOVE Vampire Earth. I want to say its like stargate meets mad max, but its much better than either.

I just hope the author writes another one, 10 is not enough!

A Mixed Genre

After reading some of the negative reviews I was hesitant to purchase this book; however, this hesitancy proved to be entirely unfounded.

As the author says in his introduction, he personally enjoys military fiction, vampire, and werewolf fiction, so that is what he wrote. This is military fiction set in a future where "vampires" and "werewolves" are at war. Within the boundaries and tropes of military fiction there is good character development, plot advancement, etc. I suspect that those that have been exceptionally critical of this book have more of a problem with the genre than E.E. Knight's work itself.

That being said, if you are looking for Gothic horror, this book will most definitely not meet that desire. If you are looking for a post-apocalyptic war story with a monster flavor this is perfect.
