I've been so preoccupied with my current WIPS (two novellas, a screenplay, and novels three and four of my young adult post-apocalypse series under the name Josh Matthews) that I've neglected my older children. So before they place me in a cheap nursing home, I'll be spending the next few weeks pimping my earlier works and hopefully introduce them to my newer fans.
Drake Matthews and Alison Monroe. Their names are as legendary as their
battles with the vampires that plague Washington D.C. Now, for the first
time, all three novels in The Vampire Hunters trilogy are available in
one book. The Vampire Hunters Omnibus begins with the first battles
between humans and the undead in the nation's capital and concludes with
the final apocalyptic conflict to determine which side will hold
dominion over the earth.
The Vampire Hunters -- As former Boston
cops, Drake Matthews and Alison Monroe thought they had experienced it
all... until they found themselves tracking down a serial killer who
turned out to be one of the undead. Stopping him cost them their careers
and almost their lives. Thanks to an influential and anonymous
benefactor, Drake and Alison find a new job ridding the streets of
Washington D.C. of the vampiric threat terrorizing the nation's capital.
Only this time, Drake and Alison are not facing a single vampire but an
entire nest led by Ion Zielenska, one of history's most evil and
twisted masters. As the vampires indiscriminately prey on humans, seeing
them as nothing more than food to satiate their hunger, they create a
wave of violence that threatens to engulf the city. Orchestrating the
carnage is Antoinette Varela, the mistress of the nest, who realizes
that for the nest to survive the hunters must be eliminated. However,
when her vendetta turns personal, the hunters find themselves in
struggle they are not prepared for.
The Vampire Hunters: Vampyrnomicon -- Within the vaults of the Smithsonian Institute lies the
key to finding the Vampyrnomicon, the Book of the Undead, that contains
the history and secrets of the vampires. According to legend, whoever
possesses the book can establish a vampire nation on earth – or destroy
the undead once and for all. With an opportunity to end the war against
the vampires so close, Drake Matthews is determined to find the book.
But the vampires also want the Vampyrnomicon. When Master Chiang Shih
and her coven of the most powerful and dangerous vampires arrive in
Washington to claim the book as their own, the hunters find themselves
facing their most dangerous enemy yet. With the stakes so high, so is
the ferocity of the struggle.
The Vampire Hunters: Dominion --
Lost for centuries, the Vampyrnomicon, the Book of the Undead, is
unearthed and with it the terrible secret of the vampires’ origins. The
book's discovery gives vampire hunter Drake Matthews the means to defeat
Chiang Shih and her nest. It also provides Chiang Shih with the
knowledge required to make vampires immortal. When Chiang Shih raises an
army of the undead and establishes a vampire nation in Washington D.C.,
she cripples Drake and his hunters. Driven by vengeance, and with his
ranks swelled by unlikely allies, Drake leads the survivors back into
the infested city. With the fate of humankind hanging in the balance,
hunters and vampires wage the final apocalyptic battle in the streets of
Washington to determine who will hold dominion over the earth.
"Those
that know me and follow my on-line work know that I am a vampire
fanatic. By that I mean real vampires, the undead creatures that prey on
humans for survival, not the glorified sissy boy vampires that keep
getting shoved down our throats. If you’ve read Justin’s Cronin’s The
Passage and Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan’s The Strain, you will
absolutely love The Vampire Hunters.” -- Pete Schwotzer of Famous
Monster of Filmland
"Scott M. Baker's The Vampire Hunters is a
gut-wrenching, fast-paced horror thriller that takes you from the back
streets of Washington to the rat infested sewer systems below. You
cheer for both the hunter and the hunted as the author rains battle
scenes with stomach turning death and destruction around every corner."
-- Fangoria
