Book Description

September 2004
DRACULA: THE HERO BEHIND THE LEGEND!

Though the world would later know and revile him as Count Dracula, he was actually born a Prince. The ruling monarch of the southern lands of the Romani, Prince Vlad saved Christian Europe from a Moslem invasion that would have forever changed history.

It was a cruel time, and two of the world’s major religions were on a collision course.

The great Moslem ruler Sultan Mohammed, ruthlessly ending the long reign of Byzantium by conquering Constantinople, had set his eyes upon the riches of Christian Europe. But there was an obstacle facing him and his mighty armies. At the portal to the West, the land of Tara Romaneasca, one lone figure stood in his path. He was Vlad Voivode, Prince Vlad, known throughout history and legend by another name: Dracula.

This is the true-life story of the real Dracula -- the man who defended the gates of Europe -- and the beautiful Princess of Hungary who loved him.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good, old-fashioned historial novel, August 1, 2005
This review is from: In Defense of Dracula (Paperback)
I was captivated by this new writer's book: a fictional work based on the life of the real Dracula. It reminded me of the great literature of the past--- a Victor Hugo type novel in which you become involved in characters you care about, you experience a great sense of time and place, and you get a valuable history lesson--all at the same time. "The Historian" may be getting all the publicity, but this serious novel is a little gem for those truly interested in the life of Vlad Voivod, Prince Vlad --"Dracula".

5.0 out of 5 stars SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE HISTORIAN, July 28, 2005
By 
This review is from: In Defense of Dracula (Paperback)
I am amazed there is a person alive who would compare the brilliant IN DEFENSE OF DRACULA to the boring HISTORIAN. From the first chapter IN DEFENSE OF DRACULA held me in it's spell. I could not wait to find out what happened next to the large cast of interesting characters! Everyone should read this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great book!, September 10, 2006
This review is from: In Defense of Dracula (Paperback)
This is a great book!

Living in our culture dominated by plotless books and dishwater characters, it was an immense pleasure to read and reread this fictional dramatization of turbulent, historical times and genuine heroic figures. A wonderful story! I look forward to more from this author.
