Vampire Hunter D Omnibus: Book Ten - by Hideyuki Kikuchi (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

A new omnibus collecting volumes twenty-eight, twenty-nine, and thirty of the Vampire Hunter D horror novel series!

The hunt continues in the bizarre far future of 12,090 A.D, where the immortal vampire lords who were the only winners of mankind's nuclear war still oppress the human survivors who have pushed the blood-drinking fiends back to the lawless Frontier. Yet humanity too remains as quick as ever to prey upon itself, and where the law can't bring safety or justice, the crescent blade of D will--assuming you meet the half-vampire wanderer's price!

Vampire Hunter D Omnibus Book Ten collects three different complete novels. The Tiger in Winter is Duke Van Doren, vampire lord of the Northern Frontier, whom D's just been paid ten times his usual price to vanquish...except he has competition from three rival groups aiming for the Duke themselves! Then, in Noble Front, D confronts what may be his most lethal threat ever--the grotesque killers known as the "Nameless," who have no wanted posters, as everyone they target winds up dead. Finally, the epic-length Gold Fiend Parts One and Two raises the question of how do you collect from a deadbeat who's really dead? Marquis Verenis is a powerful vampire Noble three hundred million dalas in debt to Old El, the lender of last resort out on the Frontier. No collection agent has ever returned from the castle of the Marquis, but this time the undead debtor is dealing with D...

The Vampire Hunter D Omnibus Book Eight collects volumes 28, 29, and 30 in author Hideyuki Kikuchi's adventure horror series: The Tiger in Winter, Noble Front, and Gold Fiend Parts One and Two. Illustrated by Final Fantasy artist Yoshitaka Amano, the legend of D endures!
