A quick rundown of the exciting new supernatural horror novel by first time novelist Don Ecker.
(PRWEB) June 22, 2005 -- For a first novel, Past Sins--A Novel of Supernatural Horror has quite a bite! It takes the vampire genre and turns it on its head, pitting merciless vampires against the secret actions of U.S. spymasters. Novelist Don Eckers fertile imagination details what happens when the Central Intelligence Agency discovers an actual vampire in the mid-1960s, just as the Viet Nam War is heating up, and tries to use this new weapon" in their covert war against the Soviet Union.
Now, after 40 years later and decades of trial and error, this horrid secret weapon" gets away from them. The secrecy holders forgot one very important fact: When you ask the Devil to dance, he always calls the tune!
From the killing fields in Viet Nam to the gritty streets of Los Angeles, this wild train ride could be ripped from todays headlines. Today we know that U.S. government intelligence officers exploited Nazis from WW II -- dictators and drug dealers – and even the Mafia, all in their war against Communism. As the public has more recently found out, Americans trained the Islamic fighters now waging their barbaric war against us now. Past Sins shows how far the secrecy handlers might be willing to go in their covert, black war … and how in a horrible instant it suddenly backfired on them. This is no cuddly Anne Rice fantasy or romantic romp. This novel will scare the hell out of you!
What others are saying about Past Sins: Ecker has obviously been in the middle of a moment so horrific that ones senses cease to operate, and the dance of death begins. You can thank him or curse him, but he has now decided to personally share that moment with you in his epic PAST SINS. Drink or feed at your own risk!" --Dwight Schultz -- Star of Stage and Screen
PAST SINS is a superb scary tale of black ops, tough cops, and vampires, but is also much more than that. PAST SINS is a scary book that gave me nightmares galore as I plowed through it compulsively. It is a page-turner, but for me one I could not read at night, and I dont even believe in vampires! It delves deeply into the folklore and history surrounding vampirism, and blends this seamlessly in the storyline, but it is also a portrait of good and evil, evil of the vilest kind, and this is found not only in the undead. In this novel, it is debatable who was more evil and ruthless, the vampires, or those who tried to wield them as a weapon. ---Dr. John Brandenburg: author (with Monica Rix Paxson) of "Dead Mars Dying Earth"
What PAST SINS shares with many classic stories we remember long after the last page has been turned is an underlying allegory. This story suggests the sins of an individual or a government may return to haunt the sinner. Mr. Ecker has chosen a timely theme, indeed. Our governments marriage of convenience to flesh and blood monsters -- from Nazis to dictators to drug lords and terrorists -- is a matter of historical record. The results of some of those unholy couplings are painfully obvious to even the most casual observer of current events." --Robb Leach, Sergeant/Supervisor with the Maywood, California Police Department and freelance writer
If Bram Stoker and Tom Clancy were to collaborate on a book, they might produce one like this. A combination of the genres of vampire horror and military adventure, this unique book is truly a must read."—Hal Siemer, editor of Quest Magazine
