New Stories of the Vampire Wars

By: Jonathan Maberry

It's been one year since a virus triggered junk DNA and people all over the world started changing, becoming something else, craving blood. It's been 10 months since the word vampire stopped being something from old monster stories and Hollywood movies. It's been six months since our world and theirs erupted into war, two since an uneasy peace was signed, and one hour since that peace was shattered. The war is here again - the vampire war. Our world will burn; our world will bleed. When anyone can turn, when every street is a battlefield, there is nowhere to run.

V Wars: Blood and Fire features all-new stories of the Vampire Wars by Kevin J. Anderson, Scott Sigler, Larry Correia, Joe McKinney, Yvonne Navarro, Weston Ochse, James A. Moore, and Jonathan Maberry.

The complete list of narrators includes: Gabrielle de Cuir, Jamye Grant, Richard Gilliland, Roxanne Hernandez, Stephen Hoye, Sunil Malhotra, Arthur Morey, and Stefan Rudnicki.

Needs More Editing!!

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Some of the stories were good. I especially enjoyed the story of Johnny Lae (sp?). One storyline was too grotesque for me, verging on torture porn.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

Cut out or edit the story of Laughing Horse.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

The readers were fine.

Could you see V Wars: Blood and Fire being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Not really. Too much gore.

Any additional comments?

I enjoy Maberry's writing. I especially liked the Pine Deep and Rot and Ruin series. I felt that this may have been released too quickly and would have benefited from more careful editing.

I would not have gotten this one in hindsight

I wont buy the third one in this series and regret buying the second. I really liked the first one for story and narration. This was such a disappointment.

Vampires & Humans; panicked, core instincts

It took a bit for me to get into it but then I couldn’t stop listening to it.
Highly reminiscent of World War Z
(The book, not the movie)
Each viewpoint was engrossing in their own way. Really brought out every side to the story, not just the fluffy filters.

Just OK

Some of the stories were interesting. A couple of them were better than the first book. However, some of the performances were annoying.

Great Characters

Loved the variety and different points of views. The narrators provided depth and personality. I'll definitely continue to follow.
