Book Reviews of The Nymphos of Rocky Flats: A Novel
Book Review: Too Bad the Book Wasn't as Good as the Title.
Summary: 2 Stars
The story reads like a Sci-Fi Channel original movie. Take that how you will.
Personally, I was looking for a light-hearted read when I picked this book up - which it certainly delivered upon. My only issue is that the author didn't trust his readers to remember earlier, major details and would often overexplain/simplify what was going on.
I, for one, like the title...in and of itself. However, it has little to do with the overall story and I'm sure it's misled legions of people expecting...something...different.
Overall, I found it to be an enjoyable read, but I'm not sure I'll be buying any of Mario's other books.
Recommended for fans of Sci-Fi's Saturday afternoon programming who are looking for a predictable vampire story that intertwines a few different genres to create some mildly interesting twists and turns along the way.
Summary of The Nymphos of Rocky Flats: A Novel
The first and only vampire book to be declassified
by the federal government . . .
Felix Gomez went to Iraq a soldier. He came back a vampire.
Now he finds himself pulled into a web of intrigue when an old friend prompts him to investigate an outbreak of nymphomania at the secret government facilities in Rocky Flats. He'll find out the cause of all these horny women or die trying! But first he must contend with shadowy government agents, Eastern European vampire hunters, and women who just want his body . . .
Skewering sexual myths, conspiracy fables, and government bureaucracy, The Nymphos of Rocky Flats reveals the bizarre world of the undead with a humorous slant and a fresh twist.
