Summary: A New Cycle in Book 8
Review: This eighth book of the Area 51 series begins a new cycle of stories. The characters from the first seven books are no longer part of the story (although there are some references to a couple of them). Although this is a new cycle, it is best to read the other seven books first (Area 51, The Reply, The Mission, The Sphinx, The Grail, Excalibur, The Truth).The aliens have been defeated in the first cycle. Alien controls are gone. That leaves an opening for others who have waited long; the Undead. The Undead have been half-human half-aliens that were created to be fed on. But some of these Undead escaped. Most notable were Nosferatu and Vampyr. As the Undead begin their plans to find true immortality, not that the Grail has been destroyed, we are then treated to their history for the past 10,000 years and how they have affected world history. Eventually the story reaches the present where the Undead move their plans into action. A tense and fast-paced race begins until the very final sentences. One of the better paced stories of the series. One that does not rely heavily on sudden revelation, but instead builds nicely on the history created in the first seven books. If you read the first seven for the story, you will love this one, but if you read them for the characters you may be a little disappointed in their absence.
