Book Review: Super Reader
Summary: 4 Stars
Time has moved on in the Anno Dracula world, and a World War has
started. Dracula, fiend that he is, is fighting for Germany. At least
by proxy, anyway, as shapeshifting vampires like the Red Baron really
don't need too much in the way of planes.
Edwin Winthrop is the protagonist here, and the new agent must lead
the charge to stop The Bloody Red Baron and friends. G-8 and mates
would be very handy, here.
Others must try and counter the pen of the vampire Poe, also working for Germany.
Summary of The Bloody Red Baron
You don't need to have read Anno Dracula to enjoy this feisty sequel set amidst the airborne heroics and trench-warfare drudgery of World War I. As in the previous book, part of the fun is spotting all the names from history and literature who pop up in major and minor roles: a vampire named Edgar Poe is writing the Baron von Richthofen's biography; Mata Hari contributes her vampire bloodline to German breeding experiments; and characters from such sources as P. G. Wodehouse, J. K. Huysmans, D. H. Lawrence, Sinclair Lewis, Ernest Hemingway--as well from movies such as Nosferatu (1922), The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Jules et Jim--each impart their dollop of richness to this alternate universe. But the dogfights between Sopwith Camels and huge winged vampires are the real heart of the book: Kim Newman has done his research, so the air battles are vivid and thrilling. A scholarly bibliography is included.Newman, Kim Books
