When Emma Reed journeyed back to her hometown in Alaska, she was expecting little more than a tense family reunion. But early that morning, a plane full of militarized vampires in a hijacked Russian war plane crash landed in the thick woods near the mountain, and changed her life forever. This thrilling tale combines the action-packed drama of Red Dawn and the horror of 30 Days of Night, as these invaders aren’t just here to control the American wilderness they now occupy, but to literally suck the blood from their victims.
