Publisher's summary

It’s been two years since the vampiric virus was unleashed in The Strain and the entire world now lies on the brink of annihilation. There has been a mass extermination of humans orchestrated by the Master - an ancient vampire possessed of unparalleled powers. The future of humankind lies in the hands of a ragtag band of freedom fighters - Dr. Eph Goodweather, Dr. Nora Martinez, Vasiliy Fet, and Mr. Quinlan, the half-breed offspring of the Master who is bent on revenge. It’s their job to overturn this devastating new world order. But good and evil are malleable terms now, and the Master is most skilled at preying on the weaknesses of humans.

Now, at this critical hour, there is evidence of a traitor in their midst... And only one man holds the answer to the Master’s demise, but is he one who can be trusted with the fate of the world? And who among them will pay the ultimate sacrifice - so that others may be saved?

Oreskas had to live up to Ron Perlman...

The narrator didn't remain consistent with his voices or name pronunciation. Unfortunately, for him, Ron Perlman went before him. Oops.

Finally, the real deal!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

If you like real horror and not teenage angst, you'll be in heaven!

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Night Eternal?

Pure vicious horror, they have reinvented vampires and made them scary again!

Which character – as performed by Daniel Oreskes – was your favorite?

Reader was great and I loved he performed the characters, especially Gus.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The human angered me more, especially Nora, how about a "Thank you for help saving my ass", instead she goes off on one of the guys who saves her who happens to be her ex...and he sucks it up and takes it. She tell him he endangers them and he could have said, YOUR MOMMA, literally...debate over!

Any additional comments?

Great story, real humans reactions to the ultimate horror!

Great conclusion to a great series

I enjoyed the first two books in the series pretty well. However, at the end of The Fall I was debating whether or not to finish the series because I was slowly getting bored of the same stuff. I'm glad I kept going. This one takes place two years after the events of the first books and it was a lot more creative and worth the read. I loved seeing how society had changed in the two years. The very end of the book was a little 'strange' but overall I'm very pleased with the conclusion to this awesome series.

Amazing breathtaking story

Wow. I mean WOW. Never saw this ending coming. Story had the climax of a Shakespearean play! Once I started reading I have not been able to put this book down. Great job by the narrator of audible version. This book had it all, heroes, villains, anti-heroes, good over evil, and ultimate sacrifices. couldn't ask for anything more.

Disappointing

After thoroughly enjoying the first two in the trilogy, this book was a let-down. The narrator was fine, but the story just dragged, and I found it boring and repetitive. The original concept of a vampire virus, which was the interesting part, was almost completely lost, as was the interesting mythology. Maybe killing off Setrakian in book 2 was a mistake. I'm glad I finished the series, but was disappointed with this one.
