Get-go your review of Nosferatu (Area 51, #8)

This review has been subconscious because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. his was my showtime volume past Robert Doherty.

his was my get-go book by Robert Doherty. Later I understood that this book was simply i of the serial of Area 51. Fortunally information technology could exist read equally stand-alone...

This book starts nicely and gives usa an introduction of few elments for the serial and the history behind it interested me. I think that is one of the most important things on a book. The background..

We become to know about the aliens Airlia and the story in the past and how they shaped our history. Our principal history is Nosferatu and we learn how where they created (bred) merely for they could awake and feed on human claret and it turn fed upon the gods. We acquire about the love that Nosferatu held with Nekhbet that was sentenced to a living death inside her tube. From this moment on this book turns into a dear story (a race to get his love) and the agenda of another one chosen Vampyr.

The all love story and the sadness of being apart is very well portrayed. We feel like Nosferatu feels (or equally the author wanted us to experience).

Information technology is recommend for anyone who life Robert Dohery novels and anyone who likes vampires and desire to read a different way of making them.

I go the impression that the author was trying to explain how events in our history fit this storyline of the Area 51 series. In this book, he attempts to give u.s.a. a view of one of the means the Airlia "developed" humans for Airlia utilize. The characters discussed in this book are i/2 Airlia made from "crossbreed" mating/rape of human women which resulted in children who has traits from both sides but have the Airlia virus which gives them a better vitality and a longer lifespan than humans but are I go the impression that the author was trying to explain how events in our history fit this storyline of the Area 51 serial. In this volume, he attempts to give us a view of ane of the ways the Airlia "adult" humans for Airlia apply.

The only contact with the Grail, which appears to change/ encourage the Airlia virus vitality. These halfbreeds are a food supply for the Airlia who need to keep their claret supplied with the virus since they don't have full access to the Grail, which is not used by everyone. The chief halfbreeds in this volume are Nosferatu, who was the first fabricated in the initial menstruum of time when the Airlia who had been left behind on Earth, were developing the Egyptian culture prior to the building of the buildings and monuments at Giza, along with Nekhbet and Vampyr, the second made along with his twin Lilith. In that location were more than sets of two halfbreeds totally half dozen, one each for the Airlia Gods Rulers, but in the escape from their entombed cells, aided by Donnchadh, i of them killed past the Airlia Foo baby-sit which is a auto-driven spider animate being, using Airlia engineering science and the 3 females recaptured by the Airlia. Both Nosferatu and Vampyr want to rescue their females but are held back by the Watcher who guides them out to lookout the punishment rendered and then gives them the means to escape after they both remove their re-generation tubes. Both go separate means. The experiences they have forth the long fourth dimension periods they are active, are used to explain the rise of sure individuals known to history--Male monarch Mineas of Crete, a member of the famous 300, Vlad the Impaler--all versions of titles taken past Vampyr. Nosferatu tries to go along a lower profile, for awhile using the ages to sleep subconscious in his tube, only to feed periodically, until he decides it is fourth dimension to go back to Giza to rescue Nekhbet from the eternal slumber she is bars to. He manages to do this, aided over again by a Watcher. He is forced to put Nekhbet back into dormant sleep Eventually he meets up with Asparia's shadow, who spares him by sending him on a quest to China to get Airlia blood from the site where Artad had subconscious in the tomb called Quian-Ling. But to go at that place, he needs to accompany the Guide Leader under Asparia's influence called Alexander the Neat, whom he stays with for awhile. When he gets to China, he meets up with Tian Dao Lin, an undead similar himself just an offspring of Artad, who has, in turn, created Quarter breeds considering he likes to interact and have others around. Tian informs and shows Nosferatu that information technology is impossible to become to the Airlia in the tomb because of the alarms in identify. The two of them are captured for a fourth dimension menstruum by Artad's active Airlia and put into a deep sleep. One of Tian's Quarter's leaves the area around Quian-Ling and goes Westward, joining and becoming the leader of the Mongols, becoming know equally Genghis Khan for a fourth dimension period until he fakes his death. He comes dorsum every bit Ivan the Terrible for a time situating himself in power in Moscow since he couldn't get information technology in Mainland china, undergoing various reincarnations until the present as Adrik. When Nosferatu and Tian are waked by the Airlia in Red china, they are given the chore every bit scouts to accompany the expedition to kill Asparia's Shadow, but it really was to place a weapon (the ruby-red Sphere) in place to make Asparia's Shadow declare a truce. The general they accompany is Cing Ho. What I found hilarious about this incident was our author using the rise of the religious war of Jihad in the proper noun of Allah, to explicate Asparia'southward Shadow actions. In the present time, Nosferatu has chosen a meeting of the iv chief Undead in power and proposes means for them to achieve immortality by gathering all the blood supply available of Airlia blood. His plan includes the 5th Undead Nekhbet. After Vampyr does his predictable attempt to kill all the others, Nekhbet and Nosferatu get out to live their immortal lives, later disposing of Vampyr. ...more

Having enjoyed various books of Robert Doherty's Surface area 51 series, I was thrilled to acquire that he wrote serial of prequel books set in that same earth.

Surface area 51: Nosferatu is the commencement of that prequel series, and I have to admit that Doherty actually surprised me with the subject thing: vampires. At first glance, 1 might question the introduction of vampires into the Area 51 mythology, thinking that vampires have been done to expiry and don't seem to belong in Doherty'due south alternating history of the earth. To Doherty's credit, yet, the new book does work, providing a new twist on the creation and nature of vampires while melding his Undead characters quite well into homo history. The novel opens in the firsthand backwash of the human victory over the Airlia, extraterrestrials who had used and abused mankind for equally long every bit men had walked on two legs. The Eldest among the world'south small number of vampires, Nosferatu, knows that the Airlia defeat has finally made conditions right for a new age, an age of the Undead. All he needs is a supply of pure Airlia blood, which tin exist taken from the frozen expressionless bodies of three aliens near the top of Mount Everest, in the defeated Airlia mothership orbiting the earth, and in a few other hard-to-accomplish places. His 1 true aim is to awaken his dearest Nekhbet, who has passed the millennia in a deep sleep, waiting for the pure Airlia blood she must have in gild to get out her protective tomb. Nosferatu'south chore is complicated by the existence of a rogue vampire named Vampyr, a man bent on destroying the Airlia, flesh, and whatsoever swain vampire who gets in his mode.Nosferatu and v other vampires were created before 8000 BC to serve as picayune more the food of the gods. Chained inside a tube, they awoke merely to feed on cold homo blood or to exist fed upon past the gods. When the vampires managed to escape, Nekhbet was captured and sentenced to a living expiry inside her tube. Nosferatu's love for her grows stronger every day they are apart. In this world, vampires are one-half-Airlia and half-human; they need human blood in lodge to feed the Airlia half of the blood what it needs to keep them alive. Nosferatu kills only when he has to in order to survive, quite dissimilar Vampyr. Nosferatu works silently in the groundwork of the world, but Vampyr becomes famous under a guise of names for his vicious cruelty: Vlad Tepes is by no ways Vampyr's only incarnation in the history of violence on earth. Subsequently following these vampires over the form of history, the final chapters depict the inevitable confrontation of the ii vampiric forces, closing out quite strongly while setting the stage for the next book. Overall, While the novel doesn't quite build the suspense that characterized the original Area 51 books, the incorporation of the unusual withal really quite beautiful honey story betwixt Nosferatu and Nekhbet gives it a personal dimension lacking in Doherty'due south previous books.

I starting reading this after book 7 and I had to put it downwards and bank check out some reviews. People were saying it wasn't like the other previous vii books, but it did explain a flake of meta-plot.

This series has potential, within the local solar system, but if it keeps pointing downwardly and dorsum in time I'm probably going to write a horrible review of this author. That beingness said, this volume was released under the pseudonym Robert Doherty. I imagine it was for a reason. This book did non dabble in the "Twilight"-ism of the vampires, but took a more survivalist approach, which in novels is almost like an anti-hero similar Venom (Trailer #ii) [ https://www.youtube.com/scout?5=xLCn8... ]. Whichever, character you may take sides on, Aspacia'southward shadow, Nosferatu or whatever other introduced character, this could thicken future plots of the books as this book does take place from roughly after the truce betwixt the 2 side and does explain the war over thousands of years. As a history guy, I'chiliad not a huge far of the twisting of bodily historical figures into this mythos, but otherwise I'd be reading my textbooks. I'thousand going to keep reading, but if you look into my library and see that I haven't finished the series. You volition know why. I simply hope that the step of release is for good reason.

The prequel books take in ancient Arab republic of egypt and arthurian England and the main series is a global affair every bit the heroes race to relieve humanity. The new sequels movement the story on every bit an ancient enemy of the Arlia arrives in the solar system and the story moves across simply the earth.
Bob'due south writing is always good and this military machine science fiction series is fantabulous. I loved the links to the past and the science fiction explanations for myths and legends. This is great stuff and hopefully nosotros will get more area 51 stories in the future.

None of the major characters of the first seven books are included here although several are mentioned in passing and several of the major events of the main series are too referred to. I don't thing that a reader would particularly enjoy reading this one though if they haven't read the first seven books because it does presume a reader volition know about Area 51, the mother ships, bouncers, and peculiarly the ii alien factions from the other novels.

I did bask the historical tour through the ages and witnessing the vampire evolution presented in this novel. Withal, the story elements didn't grab me all that much. Most of the book was filled with descriptive passages and very piddling dialogue. There is one more than novel in this "series" and I volition certainly read that besides, only I remember readers can be well satisfied if they never get around to the concluding two books.
