Immortalis

Nathalie Gray’s IMMORTALIS is military experimentation taken to the extreme when vampires are used to create the ultimate soldier.

Danielle has been part of a top secret project that has made her a cross between man and machine. Not satisfied with the cyber-soldier they have created, now she finds that vampires really do exist and Project Immortalis has caught one. They plan to infuse his blood into their cyber-soldiers to create the ultimate weapon and Danielle is to be one of the initial test subjects. Danielle may be the ultimate soldier, but she is also a woman and whenever she comes into contact with this particular vampire, it is the woman in her that takes over.

Nathalie Gray’s IMMORTALIS is vampire erotica meets sci-fi military experiment gone crazy. It really isn’t that far a stretch of the imagination that the military might want to create the ultimate weapon. And it isn’t that big a stretch to imagine using technology to create a human/machine hybrid as the ultimate soldier. So if the military found a real life vampire that they could experiment on and then infuse with vampire strength, the ability to heal, etc. into their ultimate fighting machine, would they? You bet they would. This is the basis for Gray’s IMMORTALIS.

Of course, something goes wrong with the experiment. Danielle finds herself one of the few soldiers to survive the transfusion and fighting to free the vampire she is supposed to want to see held captive. What follows is one erotic scene after the next while Danielle and the vampire try to keep one step ahead of the military hot on their trail. Definitely not your every day romantic tale.

The story moves at a quick pace and is even somewhat believable in a “what if” kind of way. Some of the fight scenes really kicked butt. Viewing the softer side of Danielle in the erotic scenes may have been a bigger stretch than this reader was able to make though. Still, all in all, fans of sci-fi erotica will probably enjoy Nathalie Gray’s IMMORTALIS, a light and entertaining tale of military experimentation gone wrong.
