Phil Ford, Peter Lories.

Thirst

It takes a creature of Dark Age myth, that has witnessed the blight of Humanity over centuries and has tasted sweet rain turn sour and fresh air become bitter, to recognize the extinction we face. For a vampire that has survived lifetimes, feeding on humans as they buried their superstitions beneath secular rationalism, and now stands at the apex of a powerful corporation, the fate of mortals is a harbinger of his own destruction.

London billionaire Valentin Volkov refuses to starve to death. The businessman and environmentalist some call The Green Messiah has a secret plan for a new epoch where vampires are the next stage of human evolution; where the wisdom of a centuries-long lifespan offers Earth’s new guardians understanding of their part in the eco-system, just as much as the human herds they will farm for blood.

But ill-fated curiosity of a TV journalist, her lover and grief-stricken husband, will combine to threaten Volkov and his plans for the human race. Volkov is charismatic, sexy and brutal. A multi-layered anti-hero who has tasted every gratification but longs for the simplest pleasure denied him for centuries, the warm caress of sunshine. Aligned against him is a mis-matched group forged by Volkov’s own actions.

THIRST is an intelligent adult horror thriller in fast-paced episodes that examines the nature of evil and myth in the 21st Century against the background of a ticking environmental clock.
