Pretty good hard scifi adventure about a decades-long mission to send a colony ship to a new world. Of course disaster strikes and the mission becomes a fight for survival. Not much character building but pretty solid adventure and plausible science. Ivan rated it really liked it Jan 13, Pedro rated it really liked it Jul 16, It is a little different than others, so it made the trip worth it.
I would say it is a great read for vampire fans, no doubt.

May 22, Johnnie Howze rated it liked it. More vampire info to add to that which gained from movies and other sources This novel entertaining and short as it is should be required reading before Bram Stoker's great classic or Stephen King's Salem's Lot. True horror fans know whereof I speak.

Nov 18, David Biondi rated it really liked it Shelves: Saying boodbye to the sun by David McAfee took us back into the vampire world of the Bachiyr. I found out about this novel after David read my review of 33 AD in which i said that I wish he would have went into a little more detail about the hierarchy that controls the vampires in his world. I guess you could call this book urban fantasy but basically it's about vampires. It's a really easy read and very fast paced.
If you haven't read 33 A. This book takes place in New York in the early 80's and our unwilling hero falls for a the girl in the red dress. I'm not going to spoil anymore than that but lets just say the book takes off after that. There is plenty of action suspense and even a sex scene. Basically there is something for everyone. I felt that David lived up to his promise to me because in this novel you got to learn a lot more about Bachiyr society and seeing the change of how they are in 33 AD and this novel is pretty cool. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is I felt the ending was very abrupt and didn't have enough closure for my tastes.
On the other hand though, it left a lot of room open for him to pick up the story in subsequent novels. Personally what I would really really really really really like to see is a novel that focused around the creation of the Bachiyr and a story about each of the 13 members of the council. Enough of my rambling. Basically if you liked 33 AD and you like vampire thriller type novels, read this book you won't be disappointed. May 28, Samantha Warren rated it really liked it.
Saying Goodbye to the Sun is a first-person story following Vincent, a young man who meets a beautiful woman one night and finds his life turned upside down. Raine is unlike any woman Vincent has ever met, and she actually seems to like him.
Goodbye to the Sun
But she has a secret: After he finally hunts her down, she does the unthinkable by turning him into a vampire. That is forbidden, and now he has to either track her down and bring her in for punishment or risk punishment himse Brief Summary: That is forbidden, and now he has to either track her down and bring her in for punishment or risk punishment himself. Why You Should Read It: McAfee goes back to tradition in this novel.
There are no sparkly, vegetarian vampires who only want to live peacefully with the humans. They are killers, and they make no bones about it. Despite the fact that you know essentially what happened to Vincent from the very beginning of the novel, I found myself eager to find out how he was turned, why Raine had two very angry men chasing after her, and whether Vincent would do the council's bidding or try to save the woman he loves. I didn't realize this was McAfee's first novel until I read a note from him at the back of the book, and if I hadn't read it, I wouldn't have believed it.
This is a very engaging, intriguing book and it was very well written.

I'm excited to read more from this author. Jan 07, Wayne rated it it was amazing. I rarely read novels set in today's world. I prefer stories set in the past or the future. And I thrive on vampire stories Not only was it about bloodsuckers but it played out in a long ago time. Ok, it has vampires but it is set in modern times. I decided to trust that Mr McAfee would create a present day world I could get my teeth into pun intended.
He didn't let me down.

Apparentl I rarely read novels set in today's world. Apparently this was written before 33AD and the other Bachiyr novels so in a way it is a prequel that takes place after events that happened in the books that were published before this one. I was thrilled to once again encounter the Council of Thirteen and Lost Ones and delve into the whole bachiry universe. It is faced paced, creepy, thrilling.

In particular, I found the ending very abrupt and the "twists" revealed unsurprising. Overall, this book is not a bad read - especially for a free ebook - and it certainly had some interesting concepts love the 'Lost Ones'! Nov 07, Drew Athans rated it liked it. It's a good book but the story is kind of weak and seems rushed, especially the ending. There isn't a lot of depth to the characters and, at least owing to personal taste, I didn't like how much cliched magic and wizardry was intertwined with the vampire mythos, but again that's just my personal preference.
While the novel I began writing last year has many similar ideas to this story and I had never heard of this book until a month ago so it was quite the coincidence , I think I'm doing it better: In any event, this is a quick, enjoyable read, although one that doesn't stay with you past the final page. I'm not so sure I want to check out his other Bachyir books I have other, more promising books on my to-read list that interest me more at the moment. This is not your typical vampire book.

The author has an interesting and compelling take on where vampires came from, why the live like they do, and what happens to a vampire that needs to be punished. The story itself is fast-past and full of twists and turns, with a heaping-helping of action and suspense. The darker side of vampires is also explored, and rest easy, they don't sparkle, come off as devastatingly charming or broodingly handsome.
This is the story of the vampires of old, with thei This is not your typical vampire book. This is the story of the vampires of old, with their compulsions, loss of humanity and bone-shaking intensity. I was saddened by the ending, but looking back, I can't see how it could have ended any other way. Great book, compelling story and I definitely recommend!
