The Fall

fullDescription

Last week they invaded Manhattan. This week they will destroy the world. The vampiric virus unleashed in The Strain has taken over New York City. It 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 erupts between Old and New World vampires, each vying for control. At the center of the conflict lies a book, 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. And it is between these warring forces that humans—powerless and vulnerable—find themselves no longer the consumers but the consumed.

Though Eph understands the vampiric plague better than anyone, even he cannot protect those he loves. His former wife, Kelly, has been transformed into a bloodcrazed creature of the night, and now she stalks the city looking for her chance to reclaim her Dear One: Zack, Eph's young son.

With the future of humankind in the balance, Eph and his team, guided by the brilliant former professor and Holocaust survivor Abraham Setrakian and exterminator Vasiliy Fet, and joined by a crew of ragtag gangsters, must combat a terror whose ultimate plan is more terrible than anyone has imagined—a fate worse than annihilation.

reviews

1. • premium: True
   • source:
   • content: Silver-backed mirrors don't lie. That's one conceit in Book Two of the menacing and literate Strain Trilogy, which attempts to circumvent silly conventions of the vampire genre. The focus is a compelling quest to uncover the vampiric origins held in a silver-edged book. Narrator Daniel Oreskes guides this quest; rarely showing fangs, he uses a straightforward tone to avoid melodrama. Oreskes suggests subtle nuances of character with his gruff voice and acknowledges the acerbic humor when appropriate. His consistent tone helps listeners to maintain suspension of disbelief. A great selection for those seeking alternatives to formulaic vampire fiction. J.L. (c) AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine

     August 9, 2010
     Set over the course of three intense weeks, Del Toro and Hogan's gripping second volume in their near-future vampire trilogy picks up where The Strain, the first volume, left off, as the undead, aided by elderly Eldritch Palmer, one of the world's three richest men, tighten their hold on the planet. Epidemiologists Ephraim Goodweather and Nora Martinez, Holocaust survivor Abraham Setrakian, and Vasiliy Fet, "New York City Bureau of Pest Control Services worker and independent exterminator," oppose the vampires (or strigoi), as they did in the first book. Setrakian pins his hopes for stopping the vampires on tracking down a 17th-century grimoire that describes the origins of their leaders, the Seven Original Ancients. Despite the story's essential grimness, the authors manage to inject some sardonic humor, even as the plot developments will leave readers wondering how the concluding book can possibly end well.
