The hunt continues in the bizarre far future of 12,090 A.D, where the immortal vampire lords who were the only winners of mankind's nuclear war still oppress the human survivors who have pushed the blood-drinking fiends back to the lawless Frontier. Yet humanity too remains as quick as ever to prey upon itself, and where the law can't bring safety or justice, the crescent blade of D will-assuming you meet the half-vampire wanderer's price! Twin-Shadowed Knight is a story in two parts-most apt, as the D's investigation into a vampire's dying words leads to a sorcery that splits the Hunter himself into two beings...the second D, full of passion, hunger, and carnal desire! Then, the three-part Dark Road brings triple the thrill, as D crosses over the southern border into the realm of General Gaskell. No ordinary vampire noble, this immortal warlord survived his supposed death under the sun to command the loyalty of a veritable army of the undead, who have been given their silent marching orders-eliminate D! The Vampire Hunter D Omnibus Book Five collects volumes 13, 14, and 15 in author Hideyuki Kikuchi's adventure horror series. Illustrated by Final Fantasy artist Yoshitaka Amano, the legend of D endures! Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 736 pages, Text (with B&W Chapter Illustrations). Cover price $24.99.
