Following on the heels of the highly successful The Hunger, Whitley Strieber continues the deliriously horrifying vampire saga. Vampire hunter Paul Ward is closing in on the long-standing object of his pursuit: Miriam Blaylock, the eternal predator whose beauty and guile are surpassed only by her thirst for blood. Yet, Miriam has her own plans for Paul -- a diabolical plot using him as the means for birthing a new race of vampires. As the chase moves from Thailand to Paris to New York, the line between predator and prey blurs, and the hunt for the last vampire ensues.
