Publisher Comments:

12,090 A.D. It is a dark time for the world. Humanity is just crawling out from under three hundred years of domination by the race of vampires known as the Nobility. The war against the vampires has taken its toll; cities lie in ruin, the countryside is fragmented into small villages and fiefdoms that still struggle against nightly raids by the fallen vampires - and the remnants of their genetically manufactured demons and werewolves. Every village wants a Hunter - one of the warriors who have pledged their laser guns and their swords to the eradication of the Nobility. But some Hunters are better than others, and some bring their own kind of danger with them. From creator Hideyuki Kikuchi, one of Japan's leading horror authors with illustrations by renowned Japanese artist, Yoshitaka Amano, best known for his illustrations in Neil Gaiman's Sandman: The Dream Hunters and the Final Fantasy games.

Synopsis:

Previously unavailable in the United States, "Vampire Hunter D" combines gripping narration and beautiful interior art by one of Japan's most renowned artists to bring forth a fright-filled futuristic thrill ride. Illustrations.

Okay, I am starting off by saying WOW! This book is amazing!

Doris Lang lives in a world ruled by vampires, they are the ones who have technology and supplies, humans are left scrounging for enough food to survive. Then one day she is attacked and bitten. She knows that unless the vampire lord who bit her is killed she will, in time, become what she most hates and fears. Desperate for a way to save her self and her little brother she hires a mysterious vampire hunter named D.

This book was wonderful, the writing was smooth and beautiful, the characters fresh and appealing, and the setting awesome. It is Sci-fi meets Western meets Fantasy. Horses and shoot-'em-ups, fantastic technology and beautiful deadly vampires.
