In the 19th-century, a young Englishman signs on for more adventure than he expects when he enlists in the army to fight in Afghanistan. But, his service to Queen Victoria becomes far more dangerous when he encounters two villains bent on destroying the peace of England. Legends of The Dragon's Blood is a series of science fiction adventure novels featuring alien vampires who come from a planet called Antellus, located somewhere in the Cygnus constellation. Each book relates the adventures of their descendants, some of whom traveled to Earth in the remote past, and who were caught in the middle of historical events, they have witnessed. The common theme of the vampire as hero is at the center of each story.
