About the author
Graham Masterton
423 books1,976 followersGraham Masterton was born in Edinburgh in 1946. His grandfather was Thomas Thorne Baker, the eminent scientist who invented DayGlo and was the first man to transmit news photographs by wireless. After training as a newspaper reporter, Graham went on to edit the new British men's magazine Mayfair, where he encouraged William Burroughs to develop a series of scientific and philosophical articles which eventually became Burroughs' novel The Wild Boys.
At the age of 24, Graham was appointed executive editor of both Penthouse and Penthouse Forum magazines. At this time he started to write a bestselling series of sex 'how-to' books including How To Drive Your Man Wild In Bed which has sold over 3 million copies worldwide. His latest, Wild Sex For New Lovers is published by Penguin Putnam in January, 2001. He is a regular contributor to Cosmopolitan, Men's Health, Woman, Woman's Own and other mass-market self-improvement magazines.
Graham Masterton's debut as a horror author began with The Manitou in 1976, a chilling tale of a Native American medicine man reborn in the present day to exact his revenge on the white man. It became an instant bestseller and was filmed with Tony Curtis, Susan Strasberg, Burgess Meredith, Michael Ansara, Stella Stevens and Ann Sothern.
Altogether Graham has written more than a hundred novels ranging from thrillers (The Sweetman Curve, Ikon) to disaster novels (Plague, Famine) to historical sagas (Rich and Maiden Voyage - both appeared in the New York Times bestseller list). He has published four collections of short stories, Fortnight of Fear, Flights of Fear, Faces of Fear and Feelings of Fear.
He has also written horror novels for children (House of Bones, Hair-Raiser) and has just finished the fifth volume in a very popular series for young adults, Rook, based on the adventures of an idiosyncratic remedial English teacher in a Los Angeles community college who has the facility to see ghosts.
Since then Graham has published more than 35 horror novels, including Charnel House, which was awarded a Special Edgar by Mystery Writers of America; Mirror, which was awarded a Silver Medal by West Coast Review of Books; and Family Portrait, an update of Oscar Wilde's tale, The Picture of Dorian Gray, which was the only non-French winner of the prestigious Prix Julia Verlanger in France.
He and his wife Wiescka live in a Gothic Victorian mansion high above the River Lee in Cork, Ireland.

A tad silly in several places, but if you can get past that, it's actually an interesting story.
July 29, 2025
Na oddziale położniczym zapanował chaos. Noworodki nie mogą spać i płaczą wniebogłosy, a po kilku dniach umierają z wycieńczenia. Lekarze nie mają pojęcia, co to za tajemnicza choroba. Prawda jednak jest bardziej przerażająca niż wszystkie choroby razem wzięte – to zapowiedź zagłady całego świata!
Co ja właśnie przeczytałam? Zimomord, pancerne szczury, bykokraby i oczywiście Nocni Power Rangers z arsenałem broni, jakie się nawet filozofom nie śniły. Masterton puścił lejce wyobraźni i chyba go trochę za mocno poniosło.
Niestety, mam jeszcze jedną książkę z tej serii w domu – może jakoś zmęczę.

When battles of man kind move from war fields to the wide spanning Elysian fields dreams are made of, no one is safe in their homes, their beds and definitely not in their own heads. Following the previous three installments of this astral saga which are Night Warriors (1986), Death Dream (1988) and Night Plague (1991) this can safely be read on it's own but I would suggest following up with the previous books, if one is content with Night Wars. Masterton is only limited by his own imagination in the electric world of mechanical costumes, warriors wearing helmets made of prismic lenses, wearing specific uniforms made for their tasks wielding the most spectacular weapons from the Sung Gun, to the Opera Pistol, Deathwatch Torpedo Pistols or even a gun that hits a target and rearranged it's DNA to the point where the body stops believing in it's own existence and crumbles. Always graceful and prominent like a hawk, Graham creates warriors dormant in some every day people who have no idea that in case of an attack they need to be told of their special birth right and to put their own life in order to save man kind.
Night Wars if truly a fantasy book with a big swirl of horror. The Night Warriors are some of the most normal people in Ohio who drive cabs, work in food shops, write newspaper articles or work in medicine. Upon a terrible tragedy, when new born babies born in that area cannot stop crying and slowly start dying one by one, a mysterious man by the name of Springer starts assembling his army. He visits each one of the main five characters and shows them their hidden potentials. They transform into Night Warriors, each with a specific task; they are good at map making, creating any creature at whim from their imagination, moving time to a walking artillery departments. They enter the world of dreams of people who have been chosen by two evil characters; Winterwent and the High Horse. One frozen solid riding on a tall throne of ice lead by hoards of ice wolves and the other a creature evil and blood thirsty riding three horses, one on top of the other wearing a cape made of screaming animals. All the battles they fight take place in people's dreams, and I was mesmerized and totally engrossed in the incredible weaponry, sinister characters who were part animals, part human like half ninjas-half gray wolves, armadillo rats, black crabs or entities wielding swords that upon one cut inflicted a plague of worms to eat away the victim. Graham impressed me greatly with his knowledge of the most fantastic creations, his dialog that read like a caramel drenched apples and the world of dreams that was a true portal to the secrets of the universe.
The Night Warriors have to learn to fight and figure out solutions while running short on time, and the whole mystery is why Winterwent and High Horse wanted those babies, what they needed their dreams for, as it would hold the answer for everyone walking on Earth. What happens in the dreams of ordinary people will have a disastrous effects on them upon wake, as well as the rest of the population who are meant to suffer with them.If they die in the dream, each warrior can never wake up in real life, he or she will slip into a comma, trapped in that dream forever. They must risk their lives at night and go to work at day, but half the fun is waiting for twilight, because there's nothing juicier than reading the limitless sources of entertainment this story provides.
Once again Graham Masterton proves why he's my favorite writer, I cannot imagine anyone else making this story come to life as well as him.

What a weird book. Masterton leverages the "band of heroes" trope and sets them on a quest in which dreams are battlefields and chosen people must fight evil forces and save the minds and souls of the innocent. This could be spun in limitless ways; Masterton chooses one that feels very "Matrix", including tight clothing and massive arsenals of destruction. If he plotted any slower I might have given up on this, but he moves it along fast and describes some bizarre action sequences, including one with a demon who slays people with a mighty frost phallus. Like I said, weird - and fun at times, too.

For an author as talented as Masterton and as adept at putting out excellent stand alones for decades, Night Warriors simply doesn't make sense. It's a series, it's cheesy, it ranges from silly to utterly inane. It's so very ridiculous. The sheer premise of it...fighting in dreams because evil forces are trying to steal dreams of babies...it's utter nonsense. And yes, because Masterton is such an ace, he makes this readable, but it's a total waste of time. At least it's a quick read.

I started reading this and just couldn't get past the first few chapters. I though it was more of a mystery book, but it turned out to be science fiction, and I just couldn't get into it.

This was the very first book I ever read by Graham Masterton back in 2007, and I plan to do a reread on this one so I can write a better review.

Сагата за Воините на нощта е нещо като поредицата за Пауър Рейнджърите, но разказана за възрастна аудитория, с висока степен на еротика и насилие. Четвъртата книга ни запознава с нови герои, като лично аз харесах най-много тийнейджъра Пери, имащ странната сила да вдъхва живот на персонажи, които е измислил. Повечето фенове ще се забавляват най-много с Джон, който се появява и в скандалния разказ да канибализъм “Бургерите от Кале”, но Саша беше доста неприятна заради един епизод във втората половина на книгата, където злоупотреби със силите си. Злодеите Winterwent и High Horse са умопомрачителни и макар като цяло книгата да върви с по-ниска степен на насилие от обичайното за Мастертън, с единия демон има изключително брутална сцена. Идеята за скритото познание на бебетата е гениална, макар и не нова, а цялото ми ревю може да прочетете в Цитаделата:

Another solid but surprisingly tame entry in this underrated series.
March 22, 2010
This book's a bit ridiculous.
Actually, it's REALLY ridiculous.
Starts out promisingly, with babies dying in the hospital due to dream demons sneaking into their heads and taking away their ability to dream. See, every baby is born with complete knowledge of the universe, creation, the secrets of everything, basically. They lose this knowledge upon birth. So these two dream demons, the Winterwent and the High Horse, are trying to take these babies' dreams just as they're born and figure out the secret for themselves, so they can, presumably, use it to somehow take over the world.
This was all pretty good. I enjoyed it up to the point that the Night Warriors are assembled and enter their first dream. The Night Warriors themselves don't have much in the way of character. They have ridiculous names like The Zaggaline and Kolexicox and Xanthys. It's pretty corny stuff. The weapons these guys have got are random as hell and are as ridiculous as the enemies. We've got giant, six-barrelled guns and lasers that . . . oh, I don't even remember. A lot of really crazy stuff. The action scenes drag on forever, and the heroes constantly bring out bigger and wackier weapons. The dream world was not used to great effect either.
The parts I liked were in the first hundred pages. Not much to rave about after that. The beginning sort of reminded me of "Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors," so that was cool. But the Dream Warriors were more interesting than these guys, and THOSE mothertruckers weren't all that great either (except for Heather Langenkamp and Patricia Arquette, of course).
The book is pretty much teenager fantasy kind of stuff, with the exception of occasional, and very bizarre, violence and sex. A few passages actually made me laugh out loud, including this howler (I dog-eared it; it's just too good):
"The danger was that the Winterwent might circle around them and pick them off one by one with his Kattalak [axe:]--or even worse, he could penetrate them with his ice cold erection and freeze them to death where they stood."
Well, yeah, I guess that WOULD be worse.
This book's just too silly. It isn't written very well, but it isn't all that terrible either. The story and events that transpire are just absurd and I didn't believe a single thing that happened.
By the way, this is apparently the fourth book in a series. I found that out online; the edition I have doesn't mention anything about the others. I never would have noticed, though, and it all seems pretty much complete in itself. Not that I'd ever even consider reading the first three.

Zrozumcie mnie, ja po prostu mam dziwny gust. W Mastertonie zaczytywałem się jeszcze w podstawówce (kto mógłby oprzeć się całkiem niezłym makabrycznym pomysłom i okazjonalnej scenie erotycznej?) i wspominam go całkiem ciepło. Jasne, czytadła, ale niektóre z fajnymi mykami (Czarny anioł) czy niezłym klimatem (Drapieżcy).
Wojownicy Nocy też byli nieźli. Nie top topów tego autora, ale całkiem fajnie. Ludzie mogący podczas snu wchodzić w marzenia senne innych, by bronić ludzkości przed demonami, które próbują opanować ludzkie umysły, a niekiedy nawet wyrwać się do realnego świata. Było tego i więcej - Nocna plaga i Zabójcze sny.
A teraz mamy Powrót wojowników nocy (swoją drogą to bardzo "filmowe" tłumaczenie, bo jak widać oryginalny tytuł to Night Wars) i jest... bardzo, ale to bardzo źle.
Początkowy pomysł jest fajny - niemowlęta po urodzeniu nie mogą zasnać i umierają z wyczerpania. Niemniej potem idzie to straszliwie w dół - zbieranie nowych wojowników nocy jest nudne i powtarzalne (rekrutują 4 osoby, a autor z bolesną dokładnością opisuje cały proces). Potem są ich durne moce (naprawdę durne), kretyńskie zachowania i całkowicie niezrozumiała fabuła.
Powiem tak - nie mogę uwierzyć, że zmusiłem się do skończenia tej książki. Masakra.

I like Masterton's work, but I really couldn't get into this one. It's the first Night Wars book I've read (and it didn't help that it wasn't the first in the series). It took forever to get the actual story going. He spent too much time doing the same thing with all of his characters. It felt like he was fluffing the book a bit. When it came to the silly names and outfits of the Night Warriors, I felt like I was watching a bad 'Eighties cartoon. Or maybe that horrible Stargate cartoon. It just felt too silly for me.
The good things: I love the endlessly screaming babies. That's pretty terrifying. It's also interesting that when each person is born, they know everything about the universe, and then they forget it all in a few seconds. They spend their lives trying to remember. That strikes pretty close to home, I think. I also enjoyed Sasha and her propensity to make up news stories for a legitimate paper. That also hits close to home, all things considered. And lastly, the villains are great. Just trying to imagine what the High Horse looks like is crazy, and the Winterwent is pretty scary.
It's not a total loss, then. I guess I'll read the other Night War books, just because I'm a completist and I like Masterton, but I don't think I'll devote much time to them.

Głównych bohaterów jest czworo– roztrzepany nastolatek Perry Beame i jego upośledzony brat Dunc, frywolna dziennikarka Sasha Smith i John Dauphin, taksówkarz mający spore problemy z nadwagą. Wszystkich łączy niesamowity fakt – są Wojownikami Nocy. W tej częsci autor odcina się od bohaterów znanych z „Wojowników Nocy”, „Śmiertelnych snów” i „Nocnej Plagi”, pomijając na przykład Kasyxa (bardzo go lubiłam), Strażnika Mocy, który rzekomo był niezbędny do sennych podróży. Wspólny pozostaje tylko Springer :)
Fabuła prezentuje się następująco - w klinice położniczej w Louisville dzieje się tragedia. Noworodki zapadają na tajemniczą chorobę uniemożliwiającą im zaśnięcie – co z kolei prowadzi do wycieńczenia, a w konsekwencji do śmierci. Okazuje się, że sny dzieci kradzione są przez złowrogie stwory, którym tylko Wojownicy Nocy mogą stawić czoło. Podczas wyprawy do ludzkich snów, bohaterowie będą musieli zmierzyć się z Zimomordem i Wysokim Koniem, dwoma wyjątkowo krwiożerczymi demonami, a także całą zgrają ich sługusów.
Dużą różnicą między tą częścią a pozostałymi częściami jest liczebność drużyny - aż w szoku byłam, kogo stracili i kto do nich doszedł w trakcie misji...
Ogólnie część dobra, ale wcześniejsze bardziej mi się podobały.

Alright. I hate for the first review I have on here to be such a negative one... But I am...not enjoying this book, to say the absolute least. The IDEA here is fantastic; a group of people selected through genetics to have the ability to fight evils of the dream world in their sleep. They become heroes, true heroes, with these amazing and unique abilities. A fantastic idea...but so poorly executed that I have been WINCING with every page I read. There are moments where I'm drawn in and I forget that I'm reading a poorly written novel, and then one of the characters utters something so painfully dumb that I just have to groan and count the pages remaining. There were, quite literally, scenes described in the book which were so...terrible that I was forced to put it down, take a breather, and then return later.
A wonderful idea...that just didn't have what it takes to make it a good book for me.

Although this is the forth Night Warriors story, it is a standalone entry. There is quality build-up to the main events (extra doses of terror if you are a parent), with decent character development (although somewhat stereotypical at times) and the evil that needs thwarting is, in usual Masterton style, rather evil indeed. He is clearly having fun with the new batch of Night Warriors and the fresh horrors which are, rather originally, twofold. Where Night Wars loses traction and engagement is that it attempts to be science-fiction and modern horror. Amongst the surreal dreamscape, the ultra-high tech weaponry and the abject horror it's easy to lose pace since neither genre is fulfilled. Expect a horror book and be disappointed, although the 'villains' are wonderfully described. Expect a Night Warriors book and enjoy the show!

It was o.k. I did not know this was book #4 out of Night Warrior's series. Honestly, I am not going to read the others. I felt I did not have to read the others, that this book can be read as a stand-alone. But if someone wants more of the story well, then read the others. :P
It started out alright. I like the comic book-esk of the story and characters. And I love a good sci-fi story, but this did not do it for me. The idea was good, the story had a lot of potential.
/shrug, I know everyone's taste is different. And what someone might like, another might dislike it. So this is just my opinion on the story. And if you want your own opinion on the matter read the book then.

Taking over the world with the dreams of babies...not going to happen if the Night Warriors have any say!
I had no idea this was a series book, which is a good thing. I read this book as a stand alone and didn't feel i was missing anything.
A great get away from the real worl - who wouldnt love to be super hero, and go byound all real life self. This book takes five people to that place and saves the fate of the world in the process.

Was worried I wouldn't care for Night Wars after reading a few of the reviews but Graham Masterton is a fabulous writer. I wasn't drawn into the storyline immediately but his prose kept me enthralled. After becoming invested in the characters I knew that not only would I be finishing Night Wars but that I'd be looking for more Graham Masterton to read.

Given who wrote this I'm very surprised to find it as a 2 star book. I found it to be cheesy with only a few good parts and interesting factors.even though this was a bust looking forward to try another one

reads just like a movie script and therefore a little too predictable. Unfortunately doesn't measure up to his earlier books like Death Trance.
January 14, 2009
More of an action/adventure story then the usual horror story from GM not really my cup of tea but it was well paced
December 7, 2010
Almost like a superhero horror story where ordinary people gain extraordinary abilities when they enter people's dreams and become the dream warriors.

It was better than I thought. A very quick read. Not great but fun.

Graham Masterton is a true horror legend, with that being said, I couldn't finish this book. The dialogue was so cheesy and the characters so campy I just couldn't take it anymore.

fantastic idea. execution, not.

more Night Warriors- sublime!

A very quick read. There was a movie I believe that was made on this premise. I don't really like fantasy that much. so I feel my review would not do this book justice.

What a spine chilling story, it makes one almost want to stop dreaming
