A Craving for Blood

by Mark H. Walker

Abrams tanks, three-story tall robotic fighting machines, and vampiric assassins. A strange combination, but one that will keep reader's noses buried in the binding as they bore through this grittily-detailed, military science fiction thriller.

This one is story of fighting for ones rights. Inhabitants of Sediana (I hope I got the name right), almost all Indians (or to be politically correct, Native Americans), have decided that Terran Federation is pushing way too far in their attempts to control mining resources of Sediana. Fact that almost entire Terran Federation contingent is comprised out of biologically enhanced humans, that consider any human born naturally to be on the same level as an insect, does not help at all.[return]But how can an uprising led by men armed only with small arms and no heavy weapons succeed when facing high-tech combatants of Terran Federation? Well, they just may because Sediana holds something that just may help the rebels to succeed.[return][return]Interesting story, lots of action (great battle descriptions), interesting characters but, unfortunately, I have a feeling that text wasn t reviewed before it went to print (spelling mistakes, missing words (verbs mostly)). [return][return]Recommended.[return][return]If you like this one you may also like Freehold by William C. Dietz.
