About this listen

 In a desolate orphanage in what remains of post-Communist Romania, a desperately ill infant is given the wrong blood transfusion - and flourishes when he's supposed to die. The discovery of his unique immune system may hold the key to the long-awaited cure for cancer and AIDS.

For a dedicated American doctor, he promises the medical breakthrough of a lifetime, as well as a very special love she's never been able to find. But he also conceals a shockingly intimate link to a clan of vampires and their legendary leader - the fiend the world calls Vlad Dracula, who, for centuries, has triumphed over countless rival tyrants, including death itself.

The recording quality is terrible. And the narration is very one dimension. I didn't get far enough to make any assessment of the story.

Very poor quality recording

Page turner fast paced action. Believable characters. Not sticking to stereotypes. Juxtaposition between ancient vampire legends and modern day reality.

Originality of plot.
