Book description
Identified in Hebrew lore as Adam's original wife - who left him before
Eve even existed - Lilith was created out of dust, separate and equal to
Adam. Living along the shores of the Red Sea, it is said, she consorted
with monsters, bore demons and drank the blood of Abel. The truth of the
matter however, is that Lilith was no one's creation. Indeed, Lilith
created us - out of the stock of primitive hominids that roamed the
earth thirty thousand years ago. Now Lilith feels the familiar hunger,
the gnawing agonizing hunger that brought her species to this world in
the first place - the hunger for blood.
Half a world away, Paul Ward experiences an insatiable hunger of his
own: a hunger to hunt and kill. Paul is the quietly courageous leader of
the world's lone team of vampire hunters. He and his co-slayers have
just achieved their ultimate goal: to sterilise the planet of vampires.
When Lilith and Paul collide in a shattering climax, theirs will be a
battle not just for the future of mankind, but also for the body and
soul of Paul's teenage son, Ian. For Ian's mother is none other than
Whitley Strieber's infamous and eternal heroine, Miriam Blaylock.
Whitley Strieber is the author of many novels and works of non-fiction,
including such legendary titles as THE WOLFEN and THE HUNGER. He lives
in Texas with his wife.
