Résumé :
When a Navajo teen is searching for lost treasures on a plateau north of Chaco Canyon, he discovers an artifact that infects him with the virus responsible for human vampirism. A team of archaeologists investigates the circumstances of what occurred, and unfortunately, the Navajo scientist, Dr. Zachary Hawk, becomes infected with the deadly malady. To escape the wrath of the government's Night Crawler Protocol, Hawk and a colleague flee to Mexico to avoid a sanctioned execution. When Hawk undergoes a violent transformation to become a human vampire, he joins forces with a band of ruthless children afflicted with the same disease who are terrorizing the community of Santa Sangre. Blake Barker continues his quest to find his kidnapped child in Mexico and Blake garnishes the enmity of the Mexican drug cartel seeking to capture a vampire for their own nefarious purposes. Sadly, Blake contracts a life threatening malignancy which may lead to his premature demise. Will Blake ever find his missing son? Remnants of the United States Army bio-weapon team which includes two vampires and two mercenary soldiers are reunited to rescue an American colonel amongst others who are held as prisoners of war in Mexico by the drug cartel. Their perilous interdiction into a foreign country will no doubt result in violent mayhem. Lorena Pastore is now the reigning queen of the last of the Maya race living in the Yucatan. Many of the Mayan are political refugees who escaped the four decade long civil war in Guatemala. Lorena authorizes a raiding party to capture a paramilitary war lord who has several vampire body guards.

The Brotherhood of the Bat is the third and final installment in the VAMPIRO TRILOGY where various individuals and factions are brought together to face an unknown ultimate fate!

Biographie:
A native of Houston, Donald W. Hill, MD, FACP, graduated from Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas, in 1978. After completing his medical school training at the University of Texas Medical School at Houston in 1982, Dr. Hill completed his postgraduate training in internal medicine, hematology, and oncology at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque in 1987. At the time that he composed this novel, Dr. Hill had completed thirty years of medical practice that included working in multispecialty clinics, solo practice, and everything in between, including academia and clinical research. As a fellow of the American College of Physicians, Dr. Hill is a published scholar but this is his first attempt at a work of fiction. Although approaching the end of his medical career, Dr. Hill was still in practice in Hawaii when he crafted this novel. A self-described angry man safely nestled behind a superficial, amiable facade of banality, Dr. Hill felt compelled to write this novel in an attempt to make peace with God, the universe, and the practice of medicine. Only time will tell whether these lofty objectives have been achieved.
