About this ebook
SOON TO BE A MAJOR TV SHOW, FROM THE NETWORK BEHIND THE WALKING DEAD
'[W]hen I found Rice's work I absolutely loved how she took that genre and (...) made [it] feel so contemporary and relevant' Sarah Pinborough, bestselling author of Behind Her Eyes
'[Rice wrote] in the great tradition of the gothic' Ramsey Campbell, bestselling author of The Hungry Moon
After a 15 year wait LESTAT is back in Anne Rice's long awaited new Vampire Chronicles novel.
The vampire world is in crisis - their kind have been proliferating out of control and, thanks to technologies undreamed of in previous centuries, they can communicate as never before. Roused from their earth-bound slumber, ancient ones are in thrall to the Voice, which commands that they burn fledgling vampires in cities from Paris to Mumbai, Hong Kong to Kyoto and San Francisco. Immolations, huge massacres, have commenced all over the world.
Who - or what - is the Voice? What does it desire, and why?
There is only one vampire, only one blood drinker, truly known to the entire world of the Undead. Will the dazzling hero-wanderer, the dangerous rebel-outlaw Lestat heed the call to unite the Children of Darkness as they face this new twilight?
Anne Rice's epic, luxuriant, fiercely ambitious new novel brings together all the worlds and beings of the legendary Vampire Chronicles, from present-day New York and Ancient Egypt to fourth-century Carthage and Renaissance Venice; from Louis de Pointe du Lac; Armand the eternally young; Mekare and Maharet; to Pandora and Flavius; David Talbot, vampire and ultimate fixer from the Secret Talamasca; and Marius, the true child of the Millennia. It also introduces many other seductive supernatural creatures, and heralds significant new blood.

I will forever love Anne Rice's carefully planned and thought out writing, but the direction in which the characters went saddened me. I used to think of Lestat as a sort of Tony Stark not needing an Iron Man suit, but by the end of the book Lestat became pompous and unrelatable, like A Tory MP or an old white republican senator. The book is still an amazing read, but personally I disliked the ending. I will still be a huge fan and read 20 more books in the series if I am lucky enough to get that many.

Great stuff! Lestat's back with a vengeance and this time he's a real leader! 👍 Of vampires, natch.😀 Any naysayers on here or amazon or goodreads are wrong. Some of the "objections" I've read to this book... Sigh. It's not selfindulgent and Lestat doesn't get in your face right from the start. He's introduced gradually: there are a whole vast cast of characters, mainly vampires, old and young, many familar from previous Chronicles (I've never met Roshamandes, though. :) ). Plus one or two significant hu
