Synopsis
Eric is a fairly typical guy. He teaches freshman physics, spends weekends bashing people with wooden swords, occasionally hang glides, and loves to ride his motorcycle. His car is full of odds and ends, his bachelor apartment is a mess...
Until he meets Sasha, and is plunged into a world of both magic and darkness. While he struggles to come to terms with the changes in himself, the world around him will have to struggle with the changes he brings to it.
The question is, will either adapt quickly enough to survive the other?

I Hate Fantasy.by Heinlein_is_my_hero

December 23, 2008:
I hate fantasy. All that sword-waving, swooning-princess crap makes me cringe. When I found out Whited wrote a fantasy novel (I first found out about him by reading "Luna") I thought it would suck.
I'm not too proud to admit I was wrong.
The protagonist isn't as likeable as I expected, but he's a vampire so I guess that's not a strike against him. The plot is slow to start with, then goes for a big twist. I'm almost put in mind of Twain's "Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court."
A regular vampire romance-horror-bitefest, this ain't. It's nothing like other bite-monger books. It's like Whited doesn't want to write fantasy but something drags him into doing it. That could be the protagonist, though. It's done from the protag's viewpoint like Heinlein's "Glory Road," "Friday," "The Number of the Beast," or "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress."
I admit it. I liked it a lot. For any fantasy, especially for vampire fantasy, that's resoundingly good!
I Also Recommend: Stranger in a Strange Land (Original Uncut Version), Glory Road, Luna.
The way vampires should be.by Anonymous

September 19, 2006: If you?re not keen on vampires, this is the book for you. The author really breaks away from the clich? vampire stereotype of Anne Rice and others, lending us a unique insight into humanity, along with a wry, witty and often sardonic humour to what would otherwise be an overdone theme. You can?t expect to read this book quietly, because you?ll spend every few minutes stifling a guffaw. With a tangibly real character leading us from start to finish through this modern day horror, the perspective of the novel is somewhere between a 1st person journal and a narration. An intriguing, exciting and amusing read that?ll only disappoint if the author doesn?t write more books!
