November 10, 2005: In 1815 Ireland Donovan Bramwell is a mixed breed part vampire and part mortal. His grandfather heads the Protectorate, an organization consisting of vampires and humans at war with the malevolent Upyran Vampires sect that sees mortals as the lowest rung of the food chain. Donovan hates both sides. When the Upyran Vampires Prince Vestos bit him and killed his father, the Protectorate did nothing. --- Now his grandfather has become a total vampire so he expects his heir Donovan to lead The Protectorate or he will be left penniless and homeless. At the same time Donovan deliberates his future, Ceni Princess Iceni needs help regaining her lost amulet stolen by Vastos when the vampires and their Roman allies eradicated her people. She chooses Donovan as her best bet and starts to seduce him into being her loyal slave, but her effort fails when he reads her mind. Still he finds a desire to help Ceni and wonders if she already completed her seduction of what is left of his soul that he fears will make him enslaved to Vastos. However Vastos has his own dilemma as he knows his soul is rotting. To save himself he either must kill Donovan or Iceni for he is a Dead Walker too. --- DEAD WALKERS: THE PROTECTORATE is a terrific fantasy that provides the audience a powerful tale in which the three prime species, vampires, mortals, and the quasi seem genuine especially in their varying interrelationships. The action-packed story line provides insight into the diverse vampiric clans and how the quasi live in human and vampiric camps. The triangle of life and death between the lead trio makes for a compelling one sitting supernatural thriller, but it?s the world they live in that fascinates readers. --- Harriet Klausner

September 05, 2005: Vampires and quasis live among humans, often unnoticed in this intriguing new world. Like ordinary people, there are good as well as evil ones. One of those on the side of good, Donovan, was charged in Roman Britain with the task of protecting a girl, but instead, he is bitten by a man who lacks a soul and thus a bond is woven between them. This bond will be a source of agony for Donvan until the 1800's when a girl, Iceni, enters his life. Her mission is to stop Vastos and save the children he would usher into his dark world, and to do so, she must have Donovan's help. Never has either of them been in more danger than they will walk into when confronting the evil one, and never before has such a price been demanded of Donovan. ............................ *** Traditional and non traditional vampiric roles mingle together to form a fascinating world. Though a bit more background might have been useful in knowing how this variation of the story works, this is a compelling drama, sure to captivate those who want something different combined with the familiar. ***
