Review

I have really enjoyed all the vampire novels of Tom Holland.  The Sleeper In The Sands blends literature with historical fact, adventure with romance and chilling horror.  My only criticism is that the story was slow to start with but once it got going it was worth the initial effort.  If you are interested in Curse of the Mummy type stories and like vampires you could really enjoy this book.
