"The Day of the Dead"
features Tomas, a character from the Cassandra Palmer novels, who was
last seen cooling his heels in Faerie. He’ll show up again
in the series, but what about in the meantime? What does a
powerful, four-hundred-
year-old vampire with a serious grudge against
his old mass murdering master to do when he suddenly finds himself with
too much time on his hands? Hang around Faerie, where
there’s nothing to eat (Fey blood=nasty) just because our
intrepid heroine parked him there?
Uh, no. Not so
much.
Because Tomas is obsessed, and has been for pretty much his
whole existence, with one thing: taking out Alejandro, the
aforementioned murdering bastard. In “The Day of the
Dead,” he slips back into our world to confront his nemesis, only
to find unexpected help in the form of a band of magical
mercenaries. Think the A-Team with spells and potions instead of
(well, actually in addition to) guns and knives and things that go
boom. It makes for a lot of mayhem down Mexico way.
Look for "The Day of the Dead" in July 2008 in The Mammoth Book of Vampire Romance
from UK publisher Constable and Robinson.
