Beschreibung

Vampiric bones remain viable...until incinerated. Now stop and think about that. Dhampir, noun, masc. -ica, fem. 1) Progeny of a male vampire and human female. 2) Vampire hunter. Etymology: from Albanian, dham (teeth) and pirë (to drink). Serbian vampijerovic, vampirovic, and vampiric. See Bosnian lampijerovic, with the literal meaning of "vampire's son." Wikipedia. Dannica, a dhampirica, occupied a uniquely lonely place between the paranormal and mortal worlds. Many of the former were her prey; none of the latter would accept her. As a young girl, Dannica witnessed her vampiric father take her mother. With the support of her loving mother forever lost, Dannica now dreads the inevitable-confronting her father. Down deep Dannica doubts what her nature demands. She fears will not be able to do what she must-slay the monster. Dhampirica is the third book of the series Adventures in Paranormal Archaeology. Archaeologist Erik Reissen investigates a mysterious mound burial and recovers for his Vatican masters the skeletons of two werewolves and the tortured remains of a vampire. Then, for the first time in history, recovered archaeological remains escape from storage! Reissen enlists Dannica to give chase, and ultimately the dhampirica squares her old vow for revenge.

Autor

W.J. Cherf has always wanted to write a book without footnotes, to tell a fascinating tale that is so real that his avid readers are left puzzled over what was real and what was Memorex. To craft such a tale takes wit, a love of science fiction, and above all a deep reverence for ancient history and archaeology. All of these qualities are stitched together beautifully in his books, because Cherf has been there, dug that. He's even seen the sun rise from atop the Great Pyramid.
Reviews have been generous:
"Bow Tie: Two Thumbs Up"
"Imagine a dinner party thrown by Tom Clancy, where he sits EE "Doc" Smith next to HG Wells"
"Amazing story, fascinating detail, a fabulous read"
"Cherf has done a wonderful job combining facts from Egyptian history and a fictional story to create a compelling trilogy of intrigue and espionage"
"What an enjoyable experience reading this series!"
With a BA in Anthropology, MA in Egyptian Archaeology, and Ph.D. in Ancient History, Cherf remains current as an elected officer of Denver's Egyptian Studies Society and is a member of a national service organization called SERTOMA, SERvice TO MANkind, that is devoted to hearing disabilities. Living with his beloved wife Sue, they keep Foxbat 1 out in the garage. They enjoy golf, road racing (that's where Foxbat comes in), and cheering for the Cubs and Chicago Bears.
