Longinus The Vampire: Babylon
Sometimes...evil can be good. The story as revealed on a mysterious clay tablet discovered recently near the Dead Sea. The fate of the Kingdom of Babylonia hangs by a gossamer thread. The Babylonian gods are in a cataclysmic struggle with the Jewish god; King Nebuchadnezzar has become a savage beast; murderous traitors surround Queen Amytis and her children; and evil creatures prowl the streets at night. The high priestess of Marduk prays for a saviour to deliver the city from evil. Ereshkigal, the Queen of the Underworld, hears her entreaties and searches through time for a dark champion. Touched that Longinus sacrificed himself to save Lilith, she rescues him from Hell and brings him back to ancient Babylon. She reveals to him that the terrifying demoness, Lamashtu, is intent on breaking open the gates of the underworld and letting the dead spew forth across the land. Smitten by her beauty and noble altruism, Longinus pledges to be her champion. But time is running out for the lovers. The King of Demons in Hell is using all of his diabolical power to recapture Longinus and destroy the goddess. His quest is long and perilous. In a dangerous paradox, he confronts Lilith prior to her creating him, and before he infected her with the weak human emotions of love and pity. Armies of the dead, evil mortals and hideous vampire priests seek to destroy him, but he must crush his enemies and ride into the Valley of Death. And in that vile pit of obscenities and corruption, he must face his malevolent nemesis - She Who Destroys . This is a time for heroes - at the Gate of the Gods - in the Golden City of Babylon. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Longinus the Babylon is an epic roller coaster ride of thrills, chills and salacious temptations. It contains scenes of violence, horror, eroticism and high adventure that will prevent humans from entering the realm of Somnus. The dark saga is scribed in the tongue of the Britons. Gird your loins, mortal, and enter of your own free will. This will be your most exciting journey into the darkness... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Longinus website with unearthly vampire images dedicated to readers. www.longinusthevampire.com

Best of the series!
I just finished binge reading this series, this is by far my favorite. To be honest, it is amazing to see the difference in style and flow between all three books. Mr. Kinross has steadily improved, i eagerly anticipate future arcs in this story line! I wouldn't have finished the first book if it didn't have such an interesting plot. This last one is fantastic all around.

Excellent
A straight up butt kicking book. I have read all three books and I just wished there were 20 more I have to give the author props. I wish I had the skills and motivation to write books like this. This is not Twilight. These are ruthless, butt kicking vampires and gods

A VAMPIRE TALE NO BETTER WILL BE FOUND THERE IS......
Hello, this is about as good as can get in the world of Vampires. The only bad part would be if the author doesn't continue the story. Damn fine stuff. Thanks.

Awesome Series
The tale that Alan Kinross weaves is dark and entertaining. I have read the series and can say without reservation that it was well used time to read. I am looking forward to his next book.

I have become addicted to this series.
I loved each of the three books immensely. I can't wait for the next one to see how Longinus escapes from hell and to learn where his adventures will take him next!

Good read
Looking for the next book
The series is different and page turning.
A little less sex. Other than that it is definitely worth another book.

Good book
Good reading, it kept me interested. Some sexual scenes went on a little much to me. But all in all it was a good read , if you like vampire reading, and I do.

Satisfying to read.
I have enjoyed the series and I do so hope that perhaps the centuries will be freed again, take us away again.

As good as I remember !
This was another great read. Looking forward to the continuation of the story. Great vampire stories are hard to find and this is one of them.

Epic!
This has got to be the most epic and fantastically addicting Trilogy I've read in ages!
A true page-turner!
This tale should be made into a film!
I hated to see this story end!
