About this ebook
**The entire Vampire Apocalypse series has recently been re-edited, undergone partial rewrites, and has been completely repackaged by Permuted Press, all new in 2014!**
Peter Harris and his comrades might have won the first round, but the vampires have just raised the stakes . . .
Following the death of Nero, the surviving vampires separate into deadly cabals, a corrupt vampire council is born, and ancient loyalties fall by the wayside.
Not only are the vampires at war with each other, but their servants—the thralls—are on the brink of open rebellion.
When Peter Harris and his band of insurgents learn of this unrest, they seize the opportunity and enter the vampire territory with purpose. It is time to free the slaves and rescue the breeders, but what Harris and his gang discover inside the cabal is worse than they bargained for . . .
Will Harris and his ragtag soldiers make it out alive?

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Picking up two years after VAMPIRE APOCALYPSE: A WORLD TORN ASUNDER, we find our surviving humans (still led by Harris) plotting a way to bring two factions of vampires against each other while attempting to keep their own location a secret.Gunn's V.A. series features (not only) humans battling some of the more brutal vamps you've ever seen, but also vampire slaves known as "Thralls," who possess super human strength, yet not as strong as their undead masters.The first installment featured nearly non-stop action. While this one is much of the same, I found the first 90 pages to be a bit routine; its lack of dialogue slows down the prose and I began to lose interest. But when Chapter Nine kicks in (as we follow a side-plot dealing with former hitman-now-Thrall, Ralf Falconi), CHAOS dives head first into what (I guess) can be labeled a "military vampire" adventure that'll have fans of the UNDERWORLD films as happy as a rabid cannibal at a weight watchers meeting.In fact, this one reads like a cross between UNDERWORLD and UNDER SEIGE 2: DARK TERRITORY, as much of the second half takes place aboard a train our survivors use to rescue human prisoners. While some of the characters here (both living and undead) are forgettable, he generates enough into his main protagonists that I'm interested to see where he takes the third novel.The first book of this series is currently being made into a "major motion picture" (according to the author's profile). Both books DO read like a summer blockbuster, so if that's your thing you might get a charge out of this violent action yarn. If your bloodsucking preferences are along the lines of TWILIGHT, you probably won't get it. (VAMPIRE APOCALYPSE: FALLOUT is the forthcoming third title).
