In Blood Rites

The first novel in the series by fledgling writer Asa Hooker, Varnar Boliek is a scientist and explorer for his world of Vampires. Having a special spacecraft built he embarks on a short exploration to a nearby system only to be sidetracked to a far-away world.

Stranded on a primitive world by an accident damaging the ship, Varnar makes a home with the locals only to find a world populated by dragons and Witches and magic. Making a life there he finds a wife who is a Half-Demon and has children who are a Vampire/Demon crossbreed.

Feeding on some of the local population they find the reasons for the old taboo against biting sentient creatures. Another accident causes their recently deceased feeding subjects to arise as Undead Vampires who embark on a spree of rampant feedings and deaths.

Uniting the population Varnar and his family struggle to free his new adopted world of the threat of total annihilation, by the spawn they had unwittingly created.
