    About this ebook

    Exodus, the first book in the Devolution trilogy, brings vivid, believable characters, enigmas, space/time-travel, catastrophes, secrets, ghosts, decisions, politics, survival, and more, to life in an unputdownable book. Exodus is a gripping, complex tale which, although not a horror story, scares the reader with its potential to become all too true. Exodus breaks new ground in the sci-fi genre; it is extraordinarily compelling and excitingly unique. This is a book that will be read over, and over again, and even those who would normally avoid sci-fi will love it. This is Diane Narraway at her very best.

      Introduction

      This book is written for all those who fell in love with the gothic Vampyre, who devoured Bram Stoker, and Polidori, and who flock to watch the latest retelling of Dracula, or any other Vampyre movie.

      The Vampyre began as something to be feared: the medieval revenant, the nosferatu, the undead, who sought out and preyed on the living, condemning them to suffer the same fate. They were unholy beasts, ugly, deformed and from a time when the decaying process following death was not yet understood.

      The succubus and incubus have their home among these repugnant creatures. Unlike the bloodthirsty revenant they seduced their victims to death! The succubus being the feminine and the incubus, their masculine counterpart were demons that visited their victims in the night. It is believed that their victims were intended to parent their unholy offspring. This resulted in the victim being gradually drained of their lifeforce, with their early symptoms resembling those of a vampyre victim: pallid skin, loss of weight, and dark sunken eyes.

      In some accounts the children of the incubus are deformed, and or sickly. This

      probably had more to do with lack of
