Ancient Warrior-Vampire-Queen's Bitch...

Akio accepted his Queen's charge to stay behind and protect humanity from the Forsaken scourge.

She never said it would be easy.

An isolated police report about an island overtaken by feral, red-eyed creatures savaging humans spurs Akio to investigate.

The local police are good at their job, but they're not well-equipped to handle things that go bump in the night.

Especially not the ones terrorizing this once-peaceful island paradise.

While dealing with the incursion, Akio discovers new information. The situation is escalating-and all evidence points to enemies from his past.

A dangerous science he'd thought was destroyed.

The Forsaken are rising to take their place as the alpha predators.

Now, it's a race against overwhelming odds as Akio unravels long-laid complex plans and takes the fight to those who threaten the last bastion of civilization on post-apocalyptic Earth.

Can he stop this evil before it enslaves humanity?

Or will the Forsaken succeed in taking over the world?

Michael Anderle (yeah, funny talking about himself in the third person) was born in Houston, Texas (1967-hopefully a long time from now). He got into a lot of trouble as a curious child. When you're grounded, what do you do with an inquisitive mind? I mostly read Science Fiction and Fantasy for the first 20 years of my life. I've been reading Urban Fantasy and Military Fiction for the past ten years.

Given this background, I've been fortunate enough to write The Kurtherian Gambit series, a popular and well-received collection of stories. The fans have propelled these stories beyond my wildest dreams, and they deserve all of the credit for sharing them with their friends, family, and the rare stranger on the street. They're fantastic!
