Justin chose to read a rather gruesome scene from the third book in the series,\u00a0<em>Vampirates: Blood Captain.<\/em> This book is considerably longer and gets much deeper into characterization of the pirates&#8211; Connor is only briefly mentioned, and Grace not at all&#8211; but it is a great, suspenseful, dark scene that I&#8217;m sure will encourage you to continue on through the series past the first book.\u00a0 All six are scheduled\u00a0 to be reprinted this month:\u00a0 #1 <em>Demons of the Ocean, #2 Tide of Terror, #3 Blood Captain, #4 Black Heart, #5 Empire of Night\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0<em>#6 Immortal War.<\/em> With the completed series available, I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;ll see middle-grade and early teen readers zip right through them!
