I REALLY wanted to like this book a lot more. The first book in this series was a lot of fun, and made me care about the character and the situation that Earth was in (being over-run by these aliens that fed off of life energy).

Don't expect anything to surprise y...more

Sort of an interesting take on the whole modern vampire novel; the vampires are aliens that take over planets, use it up, and then move on. This series follows the humans that are resisting the takeover through the aid of gifts bestowed on them by enemies of the vampire aliens.

Much like the first one, a good tale of action and adventure that's good for when you don't want to think too hard. Lot more stealthy/infiltration action in this one instead of small unit battles. Knight's got a fun series going here.

Almost as good as the first one. Enter the female role of Duvalier. The life weavers do some pretty cool stuff. This books confirms that Knight wasn't jsut a one-hit wonder. Anyone know if he's got more that the Vampire Earth series?

This series gets better and better. I could not put this book down for the life of me. The author has created an awe inspiring post apocalyptic world full of new mysteries. I don;t see how anyone could not enjoy this book.
