Dead Brill, 5 Mar 2007
This review is from: Dead Deep (Vampirates) (Paperback)
DEAD DEEP is only 69 pages long, but those 69 pages are pure brilliance.
Having read both DEMONS OF THE OCEAN and TIDE OF TERROR, I was excited at reading a tale set in-between these two amazing books. I pondered what the title could mean, conjuring images of pirates buried at sea rising from their watery grave... I was shocked by what actually happens. And shocked in a good way.
Connor, Bart and Jez- the Three Bucaneers - are on shore leave from The Diablo and spend their time in Calle de Merinero. A floating city of taverns. Soon, trouble occurs and the trio find themselves on the run. Luckily, they land on a ship where they think they are safe.
The Lorelei is captained by a new friends father. Kally is very much fancied by Bart and when they plan to go diving, trouble occurs again.
I don't want to spoil the book but I do have to say, it is brilliant with a great appearance of Sidorio.
Enjoy! I did.
P.S. Reader beware, it will make you crave for BLOOD CAPTAIN, the third book released later this year.

Vampirates book 1.5, 7 July 2011
This review is from: Dead Deep (Vampirates) (Paperback)
Dead Deep is a short story that is set between Demons of the Ocean and Tide of Terror (the first 2 books in the series), it was published for World Book Day and you can easily read the rest of the series without picking up this book. However, if you're a fan of the series like me then it is definitely worth trying to get hold of a copy. In later books in the series several mentions are made about the "lost weekend" that occurred when Connor, Bart & Jez went on shore leave and I've been wanting to find out what happened for a while now. As I've finished reading the rest of the series this was a perfect way to dip back into the world of the Vampirates.
I don't want to go into details of the story as it would be too easy to give spoilers but Dead Deep is an exciting adventure with the three buccaneers and was a great addition to the series. If you've read the other books like I have then you'll recognise a few of the characters who crop up from later books and it answered a few questions I had about their previously unknown history. This is a fun, fast read and definitely recommended to Vampirates fans.
