The Aliens have landed! The Aliens have landed…in Wisconsin?

Way of the Wolf by E.E. Knight is the first book in his Vampire Earth series.

First off don’t let the vampire in the vampire earth series put you off, this is not another book about blood sucking count dracula types. The vampires refer to the Kurians, an ancient alien race that has come to earth to feed on the vital aura of human beings. To do this they first had to soften the earth up by sending disease & assorted nasty creatures, reducing civilization to a primitive state. The earth is now divided into free areas that fight the Kurians and those who collaborate with them.

E.E. Knight was born in Wisconsin, and it shows. There is a good chunk of the book where the hero, David Valentine, is running through Wisconsin, and his descriptions of the area add a nice local touch.

It’s a great rip roaring trip, with elements of science fiction, horror, and military fiction. A great summer read.
