Representaion In Favor Of Books Bat Blood: The Devil's Claw
After a research facility is destroyed, the surrounding forest becomes a horrific war zone between intelligent winged mutants and mercenaries hired by the man that created them. When a mutant infects a local, Sarah's cancer is cured and both sides discover that she holds the key to their future.Richard Myerscough's Bat Blood contains common themes found in techno-thrillers like Michael Critchton's Prey, medical thriller's such as Robin Cook's Coma, and horror/sci/fi in the same vein as John Saul's The God Project.
Bat Blood is a fun novel that contains cinematic battle scenes that might have come out of a Michael Bay action movie.
What makes the novel even more frightening, beyond just the fear of the unknown, is that it feels as though the content could be ripped out of the latest newspaper headlines.
Clarion Review
Sarah's cure was her curse, and her destiny
After Sarah Douglas is attacked and infected with the blood of a gargoyle-like creature, the cancer that riddled her body vanishes. The attack draws the attention of Doctor Scott, the scientist who inadvertently was responsible for infecting a colony of bats, and changing them into intelligent creatures that could threaten mankind.
As the infected blood slowly transforms Sarah's body, she is caught in the middle of an horrific war between an army of mercenaries and a colony of mutate winged creatures. Watching the creatures gorge themselves on human flesh, she sees her future and fights to maintain her humanity.
With Sarah's blood holding the key to his research the doctor uses his vast resources to try to capture her, along with keeping the outside world at bay. This gets harder to do as the colony expands its territory further away from the Devil's Claw, and members of the local population begin to disappear.

Richard presently lives in Sydney Forks, Nova ScotiaFor more information about the author, his books and his upcoming novels, go to http://www.richardmyerscough.comWith a great passion for the outdoors, he writes what he knows, plus what he squeezes out of the dark side of his mind.First, I want to thank Mr. Richard Myerscough for giving me the opportunity to read his book. This book had it all, a little romance, suspense, drama and a boat-load of action. I thoroughly enjoyed the way things unfolded and what made it even more real is the fact that it was dipped heavily in stem-cell research. This was a "rollercoaster" of a ride and I will definitely be reading the 2nd part of the series as well. I recommend fans of horror/action to check out this exciting book when given

Love gargoyles and a book that turns a human into a bat like creature? Who could stay away from that?! Not me, so I buy this book and start to devour the first few chapters. Then it slowed, the characters started to get boring and I read on only because I hoped that it would get better,give me something!!!...thrill me!!!...give me my action packed gargoyle!!!...but it didn't. I couldn't get into this book..it was just ok for me, so ho hum.
I highly recommend this book to anyone that likes a good actionthriller with aspects of horror. The science behind this novel makes the creatures plausible and at the same time questions what you actually know about what is going on with stem cell research.
Although I greatly enjoyed the first edition of Bat Blood: The Devil's Claw and thought it was terrific, when I read the re-edited edition, I found it even more enjoyable.
