A distant world in orbit around a binary red star set, light years away, holds the promise of humanity's future. It also contains a deadly secret that unleashes the worst of all greed and the unthinkable-those who would kill for blood. When Lieutenant Colonel Kathy Selina is offered the choice to relocate to the Antyllus colony, she hardly has a choice. The military has not only training and time invested in her, but she's also been given a new SUB body to defeat the deadly disease that would have killed her, as a human. Kathy, along with her executive officer, Major Dave Mitchel, a handful of SUBs, and the members of the Colony Defense Force, must pit their skills and abilities against the most malevolent enemy the universe has ever faced.

Failure will mean a terrible end for the planet's native inhabitants, those who've come to colonize Antyllus, and certain death for the small cadre of defenders, as well. In a deadly game of cat-and-mouse, how can Kathy, Dave, and their band of soldiers defend an entire world against THE VAMPIRES OF ANTYLLUS?

About the Author: Mike Gonzales was born in Long Beach, California, back in the 20th Century.
He spent twenty years' service in the Army and over thirty as a museum curator. Now he has embarked on yet a third profession--that of fictionist.
Mike's mind has always been a fertile place, where at the sight of an oddly shaped cloud, or some other anomaly, he would ask himself, what if?
At last, he has exhumed his imagination from the mental sarcophagus in which it had been so long entombed, and set it free. It now roams through caverns in the Moon, the blue forests of other worlds, and the WWII battlefields of North Africa, only to arrive on the Isle of Apples at the foot of Arthur's tomb.
If you have no fear of murderers, aliens, wyverns, and phantoms--if the embrace of a lover's arms is your desire--if solving a mystery is to your liking--If you see tear drops on the page as a mark of the depth of your empathy...then come along on the many adventures this vibrant new author has given rise to.
