Decent horror novel

I think this novel deserves one read. It manages to mix many different elements of horror together and while the main premise of the novel is'nt very believable, it still manages to keep you hooked onto the very end. I liked the theme of bringing middle aged gothic styled horror to the modern era. Somehow it worked for me. Definitely not the best book ever and certainly not the worst.

Team Ultra: Vampire Squad

Scott Boulder Captain of a Secret Military Squad, enhanced through the use of Genetic Splicing of a Corpse onto Highly trained military squad. From page 1 the book starts with the use of these abilities in a real life situation, then moves onto a highly charged, action rollercoaster. Told from the point of view from 4 main characters, this book keeps you interested no matter whose eyes you are viewing through. If you like vampire novels or action movies, then you will like this book. Hopefully there will be more

4 stars

The discovery of an ancient mummy is what begins what could turn Earth into Hell. At first, it seemed the only effect would be to create a new breed of super soldiers, but then, the mummy roused by accident and by voodoo. Now, the evil being is in pursuit of the Philosopher's Stone to gain true immortality and then to bring his own race into the dominant position in the world, to create a new race of vampires. It falls to Scott Boulder, the leader of the Black Ops corp created from the vampire's DNA, and archeologist Leah Maguire to stop him and save humanity, or risk losing their souls. **** Fast paced action, an intriguing and unique take on the vampire legend, and a respect for the holy make this a thriller that is guaranteed to satisfy anyone in search of an exciting, dramatic read. What's even better is that it is just the start of a new series for readers to discover and explore. The authors' voices blend well; you cannot tell two people are writing. Seeing how they continue will be worthwhile for their lucky audience. **** Amanda Killgore

dark somewhat gory supernatural thriller

They found the five century old mummy buried deep in a Texas cave and they learned that the mummy's ancient flesh somehow bestowed super powers on humans. When the former was discovered, the Feds did not care; when the latter occurred the military took over and turned the mummy into a top secret weapon. However the egotistical generals and their even more pompous know it all civilian leaders ignore the science as the facts get in the way. They do not comprehend that the mummy is dormant, but alive; held in stasis by an insane priest's incantations. They soon learn it's alive when a voodoo priestess purposely and Leah Maguire accidentally awakened it. In New Mexico Special Ops Captain super soldier (from the mummy's touch) Scott Boulder and Team Ultra are assigned to stop the amoral last vampire; as now everyone knows the mummy is a blood sucking shark. Leah joins his team. THE LAST VAMPIRE is a dark somewhat gory supernatural thriller. The vampire is humanized by his life over five hundred years ago although in the present he is an amoral feeding machine who hungers for blood and is not per say an evil creature; thus he is even more dangerous to humanity. The key to the tale is the romantic subplot between Scott and Leah provides a flicker of hope in a gloomy situation, but the authors cleverly keep that low keyed and muted as the war against THE LAST VAMPIRE takes precedence.
