* *. Apocalyptic/sci-fi. If only the 250-page introduction hadn't been so good. A secret government experiment turning deathrow inmates into vampires-of-war goes horribly wrong.

And then . . . ? And then . . . ? Bring out the bucket of ice water and put out the fire. Fast forward years later. What follows is another story with a different setting, different characters and much slower pace that may or may not be related. Although the characters in the remaining 2/3 of the novel are interesting, the book still is formulaic. If other post-apocalyptic novels didnt exist, this book might have had a chance. As a whole, it left me unsatisfied. Please let this NOT be the 1st of a purported trilogy.
