Continuing the series begun with his novel Anno Dracula, Newman recounts the bizarre events of yet another alternative vampire history and introduces a terrifying new anti-hero--the feared flying monster of the Great War, Baron Manfred von Richtofen.

The core concept of this novel is the alternate universe which is so unlike ours (because Dracula had won in WW II) and yet so similar: we have nearly everything of "this" universe, including Americanised pop-culture!
