Glen Duncan : Talulla Rising - Signed US First Edition
Signed US HB first edition.
UK Synopsis : Talulla Demetriou is the definitive twenty-first-century female of the species: fearless, sexy and in control. Besides being a werewolf and the last of her kind, she is carrying a child. Her offspring could continue the bloodline that WOCOP want wiped out. But in the middle of giving birth, the door flies open. It's not medical backup this time. Instead, one of her oldest enemies has come to claim her baby. Plunged into a race to recover her lost child, Talulla comes head to head with a psychopathic government operative, a coven of blood-drinking religious fanatics and (rumour has it) the oldest living vampire on earth.With all the filthy, frantic energy of The Last Werewolf, Talulla Rising is a monstrous hellride of a novel.
US synopsis : When I change I change fast. The moon drags the whatever-it-is up from the earth and it goes through me with crazy wriggling impatience . . . I’m twisted, torn, churned, throttled—then rushed through a blind chicane into ludicrous power . . . A heel settles. A last canine hurries through. A shoulder blade pops. The woman is a werewolf.
The woman is Talulla Demetriou.
She’s grieving for her werewolf lover, Jake, whose violent death has left her alone with her own sublime monstrousness. On the run, pursued by the hunters of WOCOP (World Organisation for the Control of Occult Phenomena), she must find a place to give birth to Jake’s child in secret.
The birth, under a full moon at a remote Alaska lodge, leaves Talulla ravaged, but with her infant son in her arms she believes the worst is over—until the windows crash in, and she discovers that the worst has only just begun . . .
What follows throws Talulla into a race against time to save both herself and her child as she faces down the new, psychotic leader of WOCOP, a cabal of blood-drinking religious fanatics, and (rumor has it) the oldest living vampire.
Harnessing the same audacious imagination and dark humor, the same depths of horror and sympathy, the same full-tilt narrative energy with which he crafted his acclaimed novel The Last Werewolf, Glen Duncan now gives us a heroine like no other, the definitive twenty-first-century female of the species.
