Vampire Hunter D Omnibus (Novel) Vol. 06
A new omnibus collecting volumes sixteen, seventeen, and eighteen of the Vampire Hunter D horror novel series!
The hunt continues in the bizarre far future of 12,090 A.D, where the immortal vampire lords who were the only winners of mankind’s nuclear war still oppress the human survivors who have pushed the blood-drinking fiends back to the lawless Frontier. Yet humanity too remains as quick as ever to prey upon itself, and where the law can’t bring safety or justice, the crescent blade of D will—assuming you meet the half-vampire wanderer’s price!
Vampire Hunter D Omnibus Book Six collects in full two different novels. Tyrant’s Stars brings a legacy of evil hurtling down when a meteorite that destroys half a sector in the northern Frontier is revealed as none other than the return of Valcua, the undead Ultimate Noble, exiled from our planet millenia ago…and now back to wreak vengeance on the living descendants of those who banished him. Then, in Fortress of the Elder God, there is terror enough on Earth already, as D ventures forth against an ancient abomination that an army of 30,000 vampires once failed to destroy!
