Vampire Earth developing into a good series,
By
This review is from: Choice of the Cat: Book Two of the Vampire Earth (Mass Market Paperback)
Choice of the Cat, the second book by EE Knight in the Vampire Earth series continues the development of David Valentine as he continues his crusade against the ruling Kurians and the Twisted Cross.I enjoyed the book as the writing and dialogue moved well and the battle scenes are descriptive and flowing. Certain plot points resolve too quickly and neat, but on the whole the story does well in keeping the reader involved and interested. I was really intrigued by the change and gain of almost superhero powers that Valentine undergoes to become a "Cat". Knight does not pull any punches and his world is grim and savage where strength and brutality rule the day. Characters bleed, die, and are beset by doubts. It's been an interesting series so far and I would recommend this book. The best compliment I can give is that I wish it had been 100 pages longer. It's going to be interesting how and when Knight makes Valentine into a Bear. I hope not soon as I can see more books in this series.

Outstanding!,

This review is from: Choice of the Cat: Book Two of the Vampire Earth (Mass Market Paperback)
The hits just keep coming. The second installment of the Vampire Earth SF series has all of the elements of a fantastic book. There is ample action mixed with heart-pounding drama and a dab of humor and romance to boot. Mr. Knight continues to craft a very likeable hero, David Valentine, who is not the typical faultless and predictable champion of good, which has ruined many a good character in this genre. Along the way he meets two new allies, which adds to the rich flavor of the story. The dynamics between these characters keeps the story moving and their combined talents gives hope to the reader when it seems all is lost. The antagonist is a crafty devil and adds new twists to the already convoluted Kurian Order. Don't forget the Reapers, Grogs and Quislings to make things difficult along the way.If you enjoyed the first book, I guarantee you will absolutely love this one. If you haven't read the first book - what are you waiting for? Buy them both, find a cozy spot, turn off your phone and set aside quite a bit of time. You won't want to put either of them down.

Second Effort Keeps Cookin',
By Gary Zimmerman (Schaumburg, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Choice of the Cat: Book Two of the Vampire Earth (Mass Market Paperback)
Just enough rehash to leave a pleasant aftertaste. Add a liberal amount of Western to the plethora of genres he's already expertly encompassed. Stir it up with a sassy Cat and a golden Grog. Boil it over gun-totin' Reapers led by a Nazi-esque General and you won't be able to stop eating it up.E.E. Knight's second in the saga of David Valentine keeps up the pace of heart-pounding action, charismatic characterization and perspicacious plotting so prevalent in his first book. I could elaborate on the storyline, but I won't deprive you of the pleasure of reading it yourself. Once again, E.E. Knight has shone like a new blade with his inimitable style.
