The War is Over. The Vampires have Won. But a new campaign is about to begin …
The first battle is over and Nero is dead. Now the human survivors will pull themselves from the ruins of their base to find that the world is a very different place outside Nero’s territory.
Nationally, the vampires have organised themselves into cabals but the scramble for power, raw materials and humans for their food, have led to an uneasy peace. Below the surface each state plots against the other and only the far-reaching power of the Vampire Council holds all-out war at bay.
Their control is slipping. And Peter Harris and his team have a plan that might just push them over the edge…

Excerpt:
When they came the attack was both an anti-climax and an awesome spectacle. The first Harris knew of the attack was the sound of machine guns chattering in a room to his left. The sound was strangely muted, as if the air itself was reluctant to carry the echo. He heard a brief burst of fire and then a second joined in. Soon there were a number of weapons firing, and then they seemed to stop in mid burst and the first scream filled the night. It was a terrible sound, full of terror and pain, and then it was joined by a second and then a third.
Silence descended over the building as the last of the screams died away. Harris snapped his head from side to side as he watched each doorway and bare window for any movement. There were three others in the room with him and he could see each of them shaking with fear. This wasn’t the noble death they had sought. This was a slaughter.
Just then Harris saw something move and he whipped his weapon towards the door, opening fire before the weapon had tracked to the door. The vampire was already on the other side of the room and Harris wrenched his aim toward the far corner where one of his colleagues was already slipping to the ground with their throat torn out. They were so fast, Harris managed the brief thought before he saw a second body ripped apart in front of him without a shot being fired.
There was a strange odour in the air. It was sickly sweet and old at the same time. It smelt wrong somehow, as if something was decayed but was not quite dead.
There were only two of them left now and, unconsciously, the two men drew closer together as they scanned the room. The vampire seemed able to meld into the darkness so completely that it seemed to disappear. It could merely have walked in and torn them apart. Their bullets were useless against it anyway. It was obviously playing with them, relishing their fear.
Suddenly the man beside Harris shuddered and Harris watched in terror as the man’s head simply fell to the ground with a dull thud. He realised with a sudden thought before he felt the impact that he still hadn’t actually seen a vampire. And then the darkness washed over him and all was quiet.
You guys need to proof read and edit better…
“The vampire was already on the other side of the room and Harris wrenched his aim toward the far corner where one of his colleagues was already slipping to the ground with their throat torn out. ”
It should read…one of his colleagues was already slipping to the ground with HIS (or her) throat torn out…
One of his colleagues denotes ONE…singular.
Their denotes more that one…plural.
A good editor would have picked that up.
