Formats: E-Book, Audio, Paperback
Ages: 18+
The humans proved incapable of managing the world safely and risked plunging it into nuclear annihilation. And so, the vampires emerged from the shadows in which they had hidden themselves for millennia and took control. Humans were reduced to the status of farm animals and kept on Blood Farms where they were regularly "milked" for their blood. A few humans were allowed to occupy low-grade jobs, aiding their new masters. One such was Charles Gray who served as a Police Sergeant in the Marineville Force, keeping an eye out for trouble from the dispossessed population. And trouble has arisen, in the form of the "Sons of Man", a guerrilla band determined to destroy the Blood Farms as a first step in reclaiming the Earth. And they have allies - for they have discovered there is a third force in the struggle, a "something"that the vampires fear.
And Gray has his own discovery to deal with, for he has discovered that the leader of the Sons of Man is his brother.
Reviews
No Truce With The Vampires: Those Who Sleep gives an intriguing view of a world where humans are nothing more than food sources for the vampires who have taken control of everything. Very few humans hold down a job, but even those were graciously given out by the vampire. Charles Gray is one such human. He is a police sergeant for the overlords. Part of his job as police sergeant has been to infiltrate the The Sons of Man, a group of humans tired of their subjugation. The group seeks to overthrow the vamps and regain their freedom. This doesn’t sit well with the vampires who need compliant humans so they can continue to have an easy food source, so Charles must help destroy this radical group. While keeping up with his duties, Charles has also been looking for his long-lost brother. His loyalty to the vampires is tested when he discovers his brother is involved with The Sons of Man. However, he also learns that the humans have a surprise ally in the Old Gods. The vampires are scared of them, so surely the Old Gods can help return the world to the humans. Martyn Vaughan has once again demonstrated an extreme sense of creativity with this latest book. Readers are treated to a more personal view of the story as it’s told by Charles and from his experiences in this new type of world. He’s neither some super genius trying to solve the world’s problems, nor is he the chosen one picked by fate because he’s an absolute standout. Charles is simply an average human being hoping to live out his life peacefully. Vaughan also expertly develops more twists and turns into the book that pop up as Charles learns maybe a peaceful life isn’t as possible as he thought. These twists and new mysteries are woven into the story so they come as a unique surprise as the story unfolds. Not only is Charles unaware of what’s to come, but so is the reader. Readers also only get a peek into this vampire-run world, but it’s an intriguing twist on a supernatural being that usually operates from the shadows. If you’ve been looking for a vampire book that’s different from the rest, this is the one to pick up! It’s a breath of fresh air for the vampire genre while also exploring beyond just the blood-thirsty creatures.
