With the depletion of fossil fuels, technology came to a grinding halt, the war in the Middle East making the oil reserves radioactive for years to come. The United States quickly developed into a new feudal society, with those with nuclear power plants charging enormous rates for limited power. Without communication, each community was left to survive or persist depending on their strength and supplies. It is then that the vampires came out of the night and began the enslavement of the human race.

They were helped by thralls, humans bitten by vampires, who were stronger than other people and in league with their masters. The humans were penned up in walled cities to give blood once a week and take the serum that makes them zombies once a month so they have no will to fight or even think. However there is hope, because the resistance is alive and well and living on a military installation they call the Cave. On a raid to get medical supplies, another group simultaneously is sent for food; and the third group is sent to kill the head vampire, Nero. They don't kill him, but they come back with the serum, a live sample of vampire blood; and they have a scientist analyzing it to see what the serum does and if they can learn to make a weapon that will kill vampires at long range. They discover that if they don’t find a way to kill them and soon, the serum will destroy what is left of the human race.

Horror fans, especially those who love to read vampire thrillers, are going to thoroughly enjoy this paranormal apocalyptic tale. Although the humans are over powered by vampires, Derek Gunn’s take on the mythos is fascinating, portraying them as sentient, longrange planning beings who look upon humans as cattle. The audience will enjoy watching David take on Goliath.
