Illuminati

For those who haven’t guessed from the title, this story is a take on vampires or in particular, a vampire. Demeter, a space lab, is found to have been attacked by unknown forces and the sole survivor is Vlad Shreck, a scientist, who has no memory of the attack due to amnesia caused by a heavy blow to his head. Agent Nathan Never of the Alpha detective agency is assigned the job of discovering the attackers and the cause behind the attack.

The story borrows heavily from Dracula so much so that there is a character called Mina Harker, who, hypnotized, assists the vampire and some parts of the story, are explained via Diary notes. There is nothing new to be expected from the story and whatever part not influenced by Dracula fits the scifi thriller template perfectly. In the end, this is just a mashing up of Dracula and scifi and though the story is not bad, there is nothing revealing either. Only for a light read.
