Victor,a roman soldier falls madly in love with Jesus, pre Christ. Jesus rejected any relationship but not for reasons you may think. To get even, Victor became a vampire in order to seduce and corrupt young men and thereby destroy the church. The book leaps ahead to the present where a monk, Brother Victor,enters a small monestary in rural Tenn. Here Victor begins his quest with lust, hate and Victor's twisted version of love. ( ) A Roman soldier, frustrated after being rejected by Jesus, takes out his rage and frustration on the Jews and is forced into escaping punishment by becoming a vampire. Two thousand years later, he looks for a suitable "mate." Fun concept, but the delivery seems a bit muted; the sex lacked passion and I had zero sympathy for the narrator/main character. If it was a bit more campy, I'd have liked it better. I am not sure why I finished this book. Victor is one angry man/vampire. He is always angry and I was shocked that Michael had feelings for him. I presume, because I am trying to make sense of it all, that Victor's anger represents the repression felt by gay men, certainly gay men of faith, and represents anger toward strict Catholicism. Victor eats or rapes everyone he encounters. He is a pure predator without any redemptive qualities. Perhaps the author was indeed effective since I so loathe the main character. I simply cannot fathom that this is a trilogy. Pertany a aquestes sèriesPremis

Desperately in love with but rejected by the young Jesus, he turns on the citizens of Jerusalem in a frenzy of rape and violence. Two thousand years later, in the guise of a monk in an Appalachian monastery, his love is returned by Brother Michael.

His quest to transform Brother Michael has consequences horrifying beyond mortal imagination. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
