Stargazer

Before The Matrix Trilogy, True Blood, Twilight, Daybreakers, Morrigan's Cross, and Blade there was only Stargazer-- the fountainhead of so many modern vampire and science fiction epics. Originally published as The Queen of Darkness, the classic saga has been rebooted, revamped and rewritten in its second edition to further take its place among the greatest vampire tales ever written. Five hundred years ago the Stargazers, let by their immortal MoonQueen, sparked global nuclear war, blotted out the sun, conquered the world, and rewrote history. Now humans are cattle whose blood feeds the master race, the glorious rulers of high-tech cities. And no one calls Stargazers by their true name. Vampires. Yet some impulse is stirring in the slave farms, an echo of a forgotten pride. Byron, a rebellious young Stargazer, is assigned to investigate the'Warm One's--in other words, destroy any threat. But when a beautiful human shaman shows him unbelievable truths about his past, his origin,and his destiny, a vampire will discover that his immortal enemy is his living Goddess, The MoonQueen. "Conner creates an inexplicably touching hero both as man and monster." Publishers Weekly "For me, there are only two classic vampire Bram Stoker’s Dracula and Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire…now comes Conner’s Stargazer which deserves so much of our attention for all the differences it brings into the genre." Science Fiction Chronicle "Classic vampire mythology redefined in the most exciting and original way. Science fiction at its finest!" Samuel Benavides, award-winning writer & director of Mansfield Path "If like me, you’re an avid fan of the vampire race, you must not miss this first time novel. Miguel’s notion is so stark and disturbing that it will stay with you for a long time." Barnes & Noble Explorations
