Genesis - May 3421 BC
Left for dead after an attack on his settlement in which his people, including his wife, were taken away by bandits, a retired warrior, Chenzira seeks help from a local ruler, Amen-Ra. Overhearing the conversation between Chenzira and her father, Hathor heads down through a secret passage to caverns hidden beneath the palace where she is informed that the preparations for the ritual have been finished. Taking her place at an altar with one of the men from Chenzira's village tied to it, Hathor waits for her acolytes to assemble and sacrifices the man on the altar to summon the demon Bacchus. Stripping naked in front of him, she sucks on his cock before letting him fuck her and turn her into a vampire. Using acolytes working in the palace, Hathor is able to have a casket that she can sleep in during the day placed in her bedchamber without anyone knowing other than those loyal to her. Rising as sunset, Hathor fucks her handmaiden, Theoris, and turns her into a vampire. Managing to enter Amen-Ra's bedchamber after she has risen as a vampire, Theoris murders him and his two wives before fleeing from the palace. Informed about the murder of her father, Hathor declares herself ruler and orders the arrest of the man she claims killed her father, Chenzira. Suspicious about really happened, Hathor's sister, Jamila, convinces her bodyguard and secret lover, Tarik, to help her infiltrate the dungeon where Chenzira is being held to hear what he has to say. Becoming convinced of his innocence, Jamila and Tarik arrange for Chenzira to escape. Learning about Chenzira's escape, Hathor is able to identify Tarik as being involved and orders her palace acolytes to bring her to her bedchamber. Making him fall under her influence, she rides his cock before turning him into a vampire. Revealing that he was following Jamila's instructions, Tarik is sent back to her bedchamber where he fucks her and turns her into a vampire. Heading to the inn where she had arranged to meet with Chenzira after his escape, Jamila attempts to lure him into an ambush of Hathor's soldiers but he succeeds in escaping.

Goth Opera Review
Goth Opera a fascinating work. Published years ago it was the first of the "Missing Adventures," introducing the now-standard technique of inserting new stories into previous era. Nowadays, this is Big Finish's, and indeed, this book is connected to Finish's current projects in several ways.
For a start, it explores Gallifrey in an intriguing. The Seventh Doctor " Harvest (a prequel to this in timey-wimey) was the book brought Romana back Gallifrey; this is the one that really has her interacting with it satisfyingly The Romana Presidency extends from this, and there references to Deca and a Gallifreyan that Rassilon infected with the Vampire from "State of Decay." Furthermore, is an early echo of Time War here. The renegade Time Lord who drives the plot believes that Gallifrey, as we know it in the distant past the present, the Time Lords no longer exist. She believes that Time Lords are an evolutionary dead end and must become vampires survive. When she confronts the Doctor, the Time flips through hisations including his "final" one in the future.
, the main drive of such a story cannot merely rely on continuity. It must have an emotional core, and this one has a strong one, taking the character interactions of the Davison era and enhancing them, providing the characters with complexity, and them to interact dynamically Tegan is more sympathetic, Nyssa is more active, and Five is both. The secondary characters each with their own and short stories.
This story does have its flaws, including a couple of scenes that resemble a poorblazer ripoff and a character with a Deep Dark Secret that manages to be a predictable cliché.

Dracula's Brothers
This is the third book in the "Dracula Returns" series. To the best of my knowledge, there are nine in total, and I would strongly recommend reading the previous two books first.
In this story, a pair of villainous brothers have created a flock of mutant vampire bats and are sending them to kill people until the government pays them a ransom. Naturally, Professor Harmon tries to persuade Dracula to dispose of both the bats and the brothers. However, Dracula is reluctant to harm the bats because he feels a kind of kinship with them.
Like the other novels in the series, this one is light on character development, with the focus being on the action and plot. fact, even though it is classified as a horror, it reads more like one of the old pulp stories from the 1930s and 1940s. I don't think there is anything wrong with that, and I stories like this a fun bit of escapism. Dracula himself is thoroughly evil, just the way I like him, and only helps the good guys because of a deadly device surgically implanted next to his heart.
Overall, it is a short, fast-paced action/horror novel, and I am looking forward to reading the rest of the books in the series.
