Synopsis

Joe Bodenland has figured out how to manipulate time—a discovery that leads him to Utah and an impossible sixty-five-million-year-old human gravesite. It is here that he learns of the existence of a monstrous race of intelligent predators as old as the dinosaur, and of the remarkable "train" the undead creatures use to travel back and forth from a Paleolithic past to a monstrous far future in which Homo sapiens are enslaved cattle. With the fate of all humanity at stake, Joe commandeers the ghostly transportation and rides it back to Victorian England, where he enlists the aid of a powerful ally, the author Bram Stoker, in the battle to secure Earth. But to prevent the coming apocalyptic nightmare, they must first confront and destroy the most cunning and deadly being the world has ever known: Lord Dracula, the immortal vampire.

The recipient of numerous awards and honors, including multiple Hugo and Nebula Awards and the Prix Jules Verne, Grand Master Brian W. Aldiss puts a bold new science fiction spin on Bram Stoker's classic tale of vampiric horror. An ingenious reinvention of the Nosferatu myth, Dracula Unbound is a breakneck thrill ride from one of the most revered names in science fiction and fantasy.

Like many of us, I'm fascinated by the figure of the vampire, cloaked with sensuality and primal violence. Even if I have to admit that I'm not a great lover of Stoker's book. Through the years I'd chances to read many books dedicated to vampires, some are masterpieces (I think about Kalogridis' Diar......more

I chose this Brian W. Aldiss story as my Halloween read this year. Yes, I started it before Halloween and just finished it. That’s more a reflection of the wee amount of reading time I have these days than it is of the book. Even so, the book did not wow me. It should have wowed me. Dracula. Time tr......more

Goodreads review by Antonio on January 30, 2018

Interessante, molto interessante. Vampiri, viaggi nel tempo con relativi paradossi temporali. Però qualcosa non funziona, ancora non ho capito cosa. Peccato. Aldiss in qualche modo non riesce mai a soddisfarmi a pieno.......more

Goodreads review by Rhys on June 09, 2024

Aldiss is one of my favourite writers and I really wanted to love this. But I can only give it three stars. It is Aldiss, so it is packed full of ideas, many of which are great, but the prose is very slack. I had a suspicion that Aldiss was weary when writing this book. I am sure I am wrong about th......more
