_Darkship Revenge_ by Sarah Hoyt
https://www.amazon.com/Darkship-Revenge-Sarah-Hoyt/dp/1476781923/

Book number five of a five book paranormal space opera series. I read
the well formatted and bound trade paperback from Baen. I am fairly
sure that there will be one or more books in the series to come in the
future.

Elves in Space ! ! ! Does it get any cooler than that ?

300+ years in the future, the Earth is all screwed up. The Biolords in
the 21st century gen-engineered plagues and people to meet their needs.
The results were the desertification of Europe and the "Good Men". Yet
people being people, people are warring and thriving to beat the band.
And the Usaian cult has successfully risen to take most of North
American back. But not all of the Biolords plagues have been seen yet.

The author has a very popular and active libertarian blog at:

Uh, no. Vampires in space are not cool.

Not even sparkly love-interest Amish Vampires?

So, if a Terran vampire visits a different star-system,
and stands on a planet in the full light of day, will he
burst into flame or turn to dust or whatever, or because
that star (or stars) is/are not "The Sun" - old Sol - will
he be unscathed?

Going back to 1965, there was "Planet of The Vampires."

Also a 1970s comic book series from Martin Goodman's ATLAS
COMICS (aka Seaboard.)

Is the difference between sunlight and starlight
purely a matter of intensity? Or does standing in
starlight generated by Sol, n lightyears off, still
count?

The Sol of the vampire's homeland should have a special effect.
(And this show is all about the special effects.)

[Peter Trei]

I think we could come up with a Krypton type solution here...

Why didn't Supes lose his powers at night or indoors, anyway?

pt

[Moriarty]

What about van Gogh?

"The answer to your first question is shaddap" as I recall -
although that was in a different comic.

[Dimensional Traveler]

The current answer is because he's a big freaking battery.

[Ted Nolan <tednolan>]

In article <5e459464-5452-4c59...@googlegroups.com>,

How about a Van Vogt story about vampire van Gogh? Vanilla? Then
how about Vance?

No idea. But I am reading a book about vampires in New Orleans right
now. Very cool.

[Moriarty]

You've never read this?

https://www.amazon.com/Van-Gogh-Space-Infinity-City/dp/0595140769

Rectify that lapse now.

-Moriarty

[Robert Carnegie]

Maybe finish reading the other book first? Or is it that critical...

[Lynn McGuire]

Sorry, no freaking way. That combination just appears to be abhorrent.

You avoided the trap! The author used to flog his AWESOME!!! and
AMAZING!!! story of VAN GOGH IN SPACE ! ! ! to this group back in the
90s, becoming a by-word for "really, really bad stuff".

Kryptonians are so dense under they absorb neutrinos from
yellow suns* and convert them into stored energy?
