I'll admit it; I love to read, and I love to read all sorts of stuff. Moreover, my job forces me to read (good job huh?). I'll even read two to three books at a time (usually, different genres too) and most of the time I carry a book around wherever I go, taking every opportunity to read a page or two. My lovely wife often refers to books as my "security blanket". But if I could name one particular area or subject I like to read about, I'd say World War II, specifically anything that has to do with the Eastern Front. I consider myself a 'specialist' when it comes to talking campaigns, operations, order of battle, and anything Wermacht or Waffen SS. So, when I stumbled upon Fiends of the Eastern Front at my local book store, I naturally took an interest. I quickly found out I was in for a surprise.
Imagine reading: World War II. The armies of Germany are rampaging across Europe and the Allies are struggling to hold them back. From the Russian front in 1941, through the Siege of Leningrad (St. Petersburg now) in 1942 to the bloody climax in Berlin, 1945. The war on the Eastern Front was truly 'when titans clashed.' The large amounts of manpower and resources expended during this epic struggle are mind numbing.
The book is filled with detailed, and historically accurate military action. But with a twist...the mighty German armed forces must not only fight a formidable foe in the Red Army, but deadly vampires, not just for their own survival but for the future of all mankind!
Fiends of the Eastern Front is the collected edition of David Bishop's World War Two magnum opus (Operation Vampyr, The Blood Red Army, Twilight of the Dead).
All right Kameraden load your mausers with garlic laced bullets! Yes, I am an uber-geek.
