REVIEW:

This book puts the movie Daybreakers to shame. If you would like to know what really would happen if vampires ruled the world, you need to read Staregazer.

Stargazer is set in the future, after nuclear fallout brought on by vampires, to destroy a killer virus transmitted by human blood. I've never been one for science fiction, but I couldn't put it down. This is what you have been looking for vampire fans. It's time for a change, something new, and refreshing…and you can find it in this book.

It's written from a vampire, Byron, POV as he assigned to single out the cause of human uprising against the vampire kind. He ends up finding out more than just the source of the uprising, but the source of his existence.

ABOUT:


Before The Matrix Trilogy, True Blood, Twilight, Daybreakers, Morrigan's Cross, and Blade there was only Stargazer-- the fountainhead of so many modern vampire and science fiction epics. 
Originally published as The Queen of Darkness(Warner Books), the classic saga has been rebooted, revamped and rewritten in its second edition to further take its place among the greatest vampire tales ever written. 


Five hundred years ago the Stargazers, let by their immortal MoonQueen, sparked global nuclear war, blotted out the sun, conquered the world, and rewrote history. Now humans are cattle whose blood feeds the master race, the glorious rulers of high-tech cities. And no one calls Stargazers by their true name. 
Vampires. 


Yet some impulse is stirring in the slave farms, an echo of a forgotten pride. Byron, a rebellious young Stargazer, is assigned to investigate the 'Warm One's--in other words, destroy any threat. But when a beautiful human shaman shows him unbelievable truths about his past, his origin,and his destiny, a vampire will discover that his immortal enemy is his living Goddess, The MoonQueen. 


"Conner creates an inexplicably touching hero both as man and monster." Publishers Weekly 


"For me, there are only two classic vampire novels: Bram Stoker's Dracula and Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire…now comes Conner's Stargazer which deserves so much of our attention for all the differences it brings into the genre." Science Fiction Chronicle 


"Classic vampire mythology redefined in the most exciting and original way. Science fiction at its finest!" Samuel Benavides, award-winning writer & director of Mansfield Path and Phantom Senses
