More About the Author

David Bischoff has published over one hundred novels including THE SELKIE, THE JUDAS CROSS and THE GAMING MAGI TRILOGY.

"I'm so pleased to see THE DESTINY DICE, the first in my fantasy trilogy, in ebook format. I let my imagination run wild on this one. I did it before A GAME OF THRONES by George R.R. Martin and I'm thrilled it's reached a kind of cult status -- particularly amongst computer gamers and designers who've told me it influenced them."

Bischoff's other novels now available on the Kindle include TIN WOODMAN, the basis for the STAR TREK:THE NEXT GENERATION episode "Tin Man" and the STAR HOUNDS series.

"Wow," says Bischoff. "When I put THE INFINITE BATTLE out, it roared right up
the charts."

Book Two STAR HOUNDS: GALACTIC WARRIORS and Book Three STAR HOUNDS: THE MACROCOSMIC CONFLICT have just been released.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic "scientific" world of horror/fantasy, August 30, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Vampires of Nightworld (Mass Market Paperback)

The story is set on Nightworld. A planet originally settled by humans that was anything but horrible. However, plans went awry and the result is a planet nearly dominated by monsters; especially at night.

At what monster more appropriate to dominate the creatures of the night than a vampire?

The creatures of Nightworld are not the products of magical spells, sorcery, or curses. They are sophisticated robots and cyborgs. There is even a bit of serious "bleeding edge" genetic biotechnology involved.

They are incredibly hard to stop and very hard to kill. There are a lot of them and more are getting made from time to time.

The young hero falls in love and suffers a bit of heartbreak. His nemesis the arch vampire is a bit to blame.

Plenty of action, emotion, suspense, and plot twists. Great likeable characters and evil enemies.

Hopefully the author(s) will get back to this series. "Nightworld" as the first book, this one was the second. It was a very good read and it makes me very sad they have not done another.

You don't have to be telepathic to know I enjoyed this book very much. Hopefully my enthusiasm is infectious and the publisher will bring the series back into print and encourage the writers to make more books for it.

The book could have been ahead of its time. Now that Terminator, Blade Runner, Blade, and the Lost Boys have each carved out their "chunk" of the public psyche books like this have a better chance of making it big.
