The fall

So much drama! Eichorst is back in character with his evil Nazi vampire gig, and is actually playing a large role here. A ton of major characters get killed of left and right. Huge explosions worthy of Michael Bay's professional touch. Things are looking indeed very grim for the humanity.

I love the background lore and the concept of the Ancient Ones. There are some interesting references to real life mysteries like Roanoke Colony disappearances, tragic disaster of Chernobyl being tied to a vampire turf war, and Kabbalistic mentions of the Angel of Death. Guillermo del Toro's imagination is beyond praise. The ending to this volume is much stronger, in my opinion, than its predecessor. Good, quick, entertaining read. The characters really make this series stand out above some of the more generic horror out there.

Book 2 of The Strain trilogy and we get an insight in an opening excerpt. It would seem that ultimately humanity is lost-- and we get some background into what has happened in the weeks following the Regis 753 flight and the infection of the vampires. Eph and Setrakian continue their search to destroy the Master, trying to come tonterms that direct sunlight did not in fact kill him as they had hoped. Eph and the others continue to try to eliminate as many vampires as they can, while also dealing with Kelly-turned-vampire stalking her son and trying to claim him. An unlikely partnership is formed as Setrakian looks to obtain an item that may very well be the key to defeating the Master. The book ends with everything looking very bleak for our cast of characters.

4.5! Superior ao primeiro livro em questões de ação, principalmente nas últimas 50 páginas. O desenvolvimento foi bem, a não ser por um ou outro drama desnecessário. Espero que o terceiro tenha uma boa conclusão para a trilogia, que tá indo muito bem.

“A cross between The Hot Zone and ’Salem’s Lot.” —Entertainment Weekly “I cannot wait to see where Del Toro and Hogan take us next.” —James Rollins, New York Times bestselling author of Bloodline The wait is over! Guillermo del Toro, one of Hollywood’s most popular and imaginative storytellers (Pan’s Labyrinth, Hellboy) and Hammett Award-winning thriller writer Chuck Hogan (Prince of Thieves) return with The Fall—the second blood-chilling volume in their critically acclaimed, New York Times bestselling Strain Trilogy. The Fall picks up where The Strain left off—with a vampiric infection spreading like wildfire across America as a small band of heroes struggles to save the dwindling human race from the vampire plague. Horror fiction and dark fantasy fans will be swept up in this epic story that bestselling author Nelson DeMille describes as “Bram Stoker meets Stephen King meets Michael Crichton.”

Guillermo Del Toro

Last week they invaded Manhattan. This week they will destroy the world. The vampiric virus is spreading and soon will envelop the globe. Amid the chaos, Eph Goodweather—head of the Centers for Disease Control's team—leads a band out to stop these bloodthirsty monsters. But it may be too late. Ignited by the Master's horrific plan, a war has erupted between Old and New World vampires. Caught between these warring forces, powerless and vulnerable, humans find themselves no longer the consumers but the consumed. At the center of the conflict lies an ancient text that contains the vampires' entire history . . . and their darkest secrets. Whoever finds the book can control the outcome of the war and, ultimately, the fate of us all.
