A gritty action thriller that'll leave you on the edge of your seat. If you are new to this genre, fear not, you will still be infected! “A knockout 1st book, very unpredictable. An exciting, new angle on a well-loved genre." - T.Teodorczuk, Evening Standard, London "This is not my normal genre, yet I was utterly engrossed and could not put this book down. I was done in 2 days and now thoroughly look forward to books 2&3. The fight scenes are great, the plot gripping and characters absolutely believable." - Elise L - Amazon.co.uk customer. "A cracking book, a must read for any fans of the zombie/vampire genre. The detail throughout, plus character development made this a compelling tale."- Anon Amazon customer. A gripping novel that sees a group of military survivors in a post-apocalyptic landscape struggle against the crazed infected. Marked for death by vampires, they must decide; is the enemy of my enemy my friend, or should I totally annihilate them both? Do you know all about vampires? Are you ready for Armageddon? Do you believe you know zombies? Think again. You couldn't be further from the truth. A cure for dementia has disastrously failed. Patients are left crazed, infectious and enraged. The ensuing carnage quickly spreads the disease and civilisation is decimated. On London’s outskirts a military base shelters some survivors. The soldiers within must battle against the infected who now roam unchallenged. Tensions are high, relationships fraught, death commonplace. But if they thought the end of the world was bad enough, their troubles have only just begun. An ancient menace has long existed in secret alongside humanity - a vampire clan, which has recently encountered the soldiers. Now is their time to emerge from the shadows. First though they have to overcome their own problems. They too have to fight for survival against the infected, and they violently disagree on their approach towards the humans. Hostilities are rising, survival of the fittest is never guaranteed. It's only a matter of time now. In an unpredictable world only one thing is certain - there will be blood! A trilogy of post-apocalypse page-turners, where zombies and vampires are plausible conditions based on medical fact, not a flight of fancy. This book series brings both types of fabled being into the realms of the distinctly possible. Human survivors must fight against these two deadly foes; while both of those face each other in a brutal confrontation. Q&A WITH THE AUTHOR Q: Military survivors in a post-apocalyptic dystopia – isn’t that a bit clichéd? A: Well, it’s an oft-quoted line that there are only ever variations on 7 different types of story, so in effect every novel you read is a bit of a cliché. My books cover a subject that has possibly been done to death (if you’ll pardon the pun.) But I hope I bring enough originality to it that readers will be gripped. I have redefined vampires and zombies. The vampire is no longer in his normal unassailable position at the top of the food chain. Ultimately the book has believable characters and a thrilling plot that will appeal to anyone who just likes a darn good tale. Q: Where did you get the idea for this new kind of approach? A: I like a book or film to ring true, even if based on fantasy. For example, if you are going to bend the rules of physics, such as in “The Matrix”, then you have to explain it. I have a problem with creatures that have a tangible body but no reflection in a mirror. So I wanted a realistic basis. After all the reader is no fool. Hence Dystopian Gothic Realism. I think the books will be different from any others you’ve read. Q: Were you influenced by Twilight or Anne Rice? A: Not really. My stories are a lot darker, and appeal to any who love Bram Stoker’s classic Dracula, but also fans of Twilight or Vampire Diaries who now want something with a lot more bite. Lastly, zombie fans who ever wonder, 'What would happen if a vampire met a horde of zombies

About the Author "Once Bitten, Twice Die" is the debut novel from Antony J. Stanton. The book is the first of 'The Blood of the Infected' series, in the 'post-apocalyptic action thriller' genre. Stanton was born in London in 1970. Even as a child he always dreamed of becoming a published author, and he started to write a book. But, having watched the film ‘Top Gun,’ he was swayed into a becoming a military pilot. After no more than a glancing blow of a career in the British Royal Air Force he decided that his long term future lay elsewhere and he became a commercial pilot and remains thus to this day. Hence much of this trilogy was written all around the world, generally at unsociable times when jet-lag meant that normal people were asleep. During a holiday with three friends, a bet was made amongst them. Each had a task to fulfil within the year - Stanton’s was to write a book. A little late, but five years on and his challenge has been completed. Three times. His period spent in the RAF helped him write the military survival aspects of this book, and a kidnapping incident in Kazakhstan and shooting in Ghana, amongst other 'adventures', provided him with a dark well of experience to draw from. Life is, after all, one big adventure. A combination of the aforementioned, along with his love of the darker sides of literature, and the results are this novel and the next two in the trilogy. And all it took was the impetus of a friendly challenge to spur him on to his creative dream… He still lives in South London and is very much looking forward to watching his friend fulfilling his part of the challenge: demonstrating his (not-so) newly acquired break-dancing skills, surely a sight to behold.

By Ramona Plant A total new approach to the zombie books combining them with Vampires. This has not been done and I am curious how it will all end. Antony expertly weaves a web around his readers. He found a novel idea on how the zombies start whilst mixing in the existence of vampires. The plot is maybe a tad on the slower side, but not really an issue. He packs a lot of information into this book.In the beginning it was a little difficult finding out who the main characters would be that would stick with you for a while. But once it is more clear you really start to enjoy this book since now you can start to hate or love certain characters and start really getting emotionally involved.Especially towards the end the plot thickens just to leave you with a well placed cliff hanger. I thouroughly enjoyed this book and can't wait for the next one so I can find out what happens next.I have received this book from the author for an honest review.

Rest assured, though, this is a really original 'ripping good yarn' which delivers so much more than the sum of its parts.Anthony Stanton began writing this some time ago - before the world got over familiar with the genre in fact - and it feels the fresher for that. He negotiates the minefield of clichés with aplomb, bringing the gallery of heroes, anti-heroes and villains vividly to life. I found myself rooting for a favourite character early on and by the fourth or fifth chapter I did not want to put this novel down. While the premise is relatively straightforward the book carries several intertwining themes and paints a rich and detailed environment at the besieged RAF base, Stanton drawing nicely from his time in the military. By the final chapter the scene is set perfectly for the sequels to follow and while you feel sated for the moment you are left wanting more....Do yourself a favour and grab this book now. I hope, like me, you find it a really entertaining read that also whets your appetite for Part Two.

Interesting Blend of the Crazed Infected and Vampires By Kimberly Kelly-sydow I decided to read this book, because of the intriguing link between murderous infected people and Vampires in the storyline. I am happy to say that the characters were well developed and the apocalyptic event, which occurs in Great Britain, was easy to follow with a solid plot. The story did drag in a few places, which is why I am rating it with a 4 instead of 5 stars. All in all, I enjoyed reading this book and look forward to reading the next in the series. It was a solid storyline with plenty of action and had well developed military and vampire characters.
