In this, the third book in the series, we find out. That raucous rock-star vampire Lestat interrupts the 6,000-year slumber of the mama of all bloodsuckers, Akasha, Queen of the Damned.<p> Akasha was once the queen of the Nile (she has a bit in common with the Egyptian goddess Isis), and it's unwise to rile her now that she's had 60 centuries of practice being undead. She is so peeved about male violence that she might just have to kill most of them. And she has her eye on handsome Lestat with other ideas as well.<p> If you felt that the previous books in the series weren't gory and erotic enough, this one should quench your thirst (though it may cause you to omit organ meats from your diet). It also boasts God's plenty of absorbing lore that enriches the tale that went before, including the back-story of the boy in <I>Interview with the Vampire</I> and the ancient fellowship of the Talamasca, which snoops on paranormal phenomena. Mostly, the book spins the complex yarn of Akasha's eerie, brooding brood and her nemeses, the terrifying sisters Maharet and Mekare. In one sense, <I>Queen of the Damned</I> is the ultimate multigenerational saga. <I>--Tim Appelo</I> 3147123 book 1988 The Queen of the Damned (The Vampire Chronicles, #3) total:17820|5:4385|4:5402|3:5722|2:1825|1:486| 17820 64835 21489 494 1 3 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Thu Aug 09 12:52:03 -0700 2007 Thu Aug 09 14:21:48 -0700 2007

Peringatan: buku ini terlalu lestat-sentris, dalam arti ego Lestat bisa kita liat bertaburan dimana2, so kalo kamu nggak suka org yg egosentris, dan kamu nggak suka chara Lestat, sebaiknya buku ini kamu hindari sejauh mungkin !!
