Summary: | A bloodthirsty dictator leads his ill-equipped army to war in the Mideast! A cruel, mustached leader takes command of a Middle Eastern nation through ruthless, bloody means. Despite the outside world's superior technology, he plans the invasion of a neighboring country - and a jihad (holy war) against the world. Meanwhile, his high-tech opponents prepare for a surgical strike to remove him and his nation's nuclear threat - which is guarded by American hostages! Saddam Hussein? Not quite - but his spiritual brother, perhaps. This is the story of Dracula, 2199. Originally published as a serial begun in 1989, Vampiric Jihad is an eerie, unintentionally prophetic allegory to the real events that led to war in the Persian Gulf.
