Short description

It's a roller-coaster ride of espionage, murder for hire, grand theft and bloody revenge as an undead assassin-spy journeys from 1960s Saigon to the outer planets of the twenty-third century. Part hard boiled, part sci-fi, part dark comedy, "...it will appeal to anybody who enjoys vampire books. I’m gonna hate myself in the morning but I need to keep reading!"

Extended description

In the realm of vampire fiction, we meet dangerous, romantic, exotic beings – in a word, they’re extraordinary. But what if a perfectly ordinary person became a vampire? Would his undead existence be ... ordinary?

Hardly. THE VAMPIRE IN FREE FALL takes us on a roller-coaster ride of adventure as our “ordinary” night stalker finds himself caught up in espionage, murder for hire, grand theft and bloody revenge. The dangers of his tour as a soldier in Vietnam quickly pale against the car chases, street fights, burglaries and contract killings of his new life as a blood-drinking assassin-spy. Whether he can escape his human handlers and attain freedom, peace of mind and the love he craves is another matter. But never is this vampire’s life merely ordinary.

Jim Hull – author of "Are Humans Obsolete?" – brings a unique approach to the vampire thriller, taking us from Saigon to the outer planets, from the 1960s to the twenty-third century, from a war in the jungle to battles..

Review by: Laurie Beardsley on July 10, 2011 :
Juicy read, if I dare say that about a vampire story! A bit gory in parts, especially in combination with “romance, vampire style”. A variety of interesting and quite unexpected elements held my attention to the end.
