Produktbeschreibung

The evil vampire Lord Napier Sandridge seeks to flee the vengeful sister of his most recent victim, a young man named Lionel Paxton. The sister, Alexandra, has proven so persistent that Lord Napier decides he's better off leaving England entirely, so he takes his light-proof coffin and boards the largest luxury vessel he can find to cross to America: the RMS Titanic. As a vampire, he feels fairly safe, even though a vampire's powers are suspended when he passes over running water: the Titanic loads in the twilight, and his coffin is stowed deep in the hold. Even when the ship strikes an ice-berg, Lord Napier thinks his chances are good - the accident took place at night, and surely rescue must come long before first light will cause him to burst into unquenchable flame. Mustn't it?

Autorenporträt

Since her first published fantasy in 1982 - The Time of the Dark - Barbara Hambly has touched most of the bases in genre fiction. She has written mysteries, horror, mainstream historicals, graphic novels, sword-and-sorcery fantasy, romances, and Saturday Morning Cartoons. Born and raised in Southern California, she attended the University of California, Riverside, and spent one year at the University of Bordeaux, France. She married science fiction author George Alec Effinger, and lived part-time in New Orleans for a number of years. In her work as a novelist, she currently concentrates on horror (the Don Simon Ysidro vampire series) and historical whodunnits, the well-reviewed Benjamin January novels, though she has also written another historical whodunnit series under the name of Barbara Hamilton.
Professor Hambly also teaches History part-time, paints, dances, and trains in martial arts. Follow her on Facebook, and on her blog at livejournal.com.
