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, led 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
