Can you fault a book for not being what you thought it would be? This book sounded great. I have had it for decades, and I finally read it. The struggle of humans in a vampire-controlled world. Starting in the mid-1600s, we see the underground rebellions of humans versus vampires start with a Edmund Corey striking the first blow at the cost of his own life. The story then moves to Noel Cordrey and his life-long study of vampires. We have pirates, monks, vampires in this story. But, despite how exciting this sounds, most of the novel is Noell and company walking slowly across Africa in order to meet the first vampires.

This book is slow, tedious, and despite what the back tells us, not really about the struggle except in the the first 20 pages or so and the last 50. This could have been great. But it was a struggle to get through as its just a whole lot of walking mostly.

Two stars is generous.
