Allo,
Hope everyones recovered from the festivities..
Apologies for my silence/absence. Still alive and no the motherships not come to take me back. Interesting as in 'Interesting Times' end of year. Well less said about that..
Any way been reading a book called Fiends of the Eastern front, a trilogy collection. Easy read, think WW2 with Vampires. 1st book is from the view point of 3 brothers in the German Whermacht. They end up with Rumanian allies.. Some of the Rumanians fly escort for the Stukas in Hurricanes. With black out windows and no need for parachutes..
(according to the story the Rumanians bought some from us before the war) I dont know how accurate everything is but its seems good.
A good easy, very interesting for the war sections, gory and a good laugh in some ways. Vampires are great fighters at night, but daytime poof ash every where.
Book one is mainly Barbarossa, then Book 2 is Leningrad from the view of a russian ex Komissar stuck in a penal unit.
Originally a comic strip in 2000ad (where Dredd is from)
Book 3 I;ve to read soon. Oh and for you fellers over the pond, theres a
Fiends of the Rising Sun.
The Authors call David Bishop
Black Library Books
