Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter — Dan Abnett

After a long and bloody battle, legendary vampire hunter Captain Kronos finally killed the vampire porphyr and his undead horde in an un-named forest somewhere deep inside Eastern Europe. However, before he and his two companions – assistant, and font of all vampire knowledge Professor Grost, and Carla, vampire hunter in training – could celebrate their victory they were approached by the militia of a neighboring town called Serechurch and asked for help in dealing with a vampire infestation. There in Serechurch they met with Ermine, the town’s Alderman, and learned that a new vampire menace by the name of Slake had taken over the poor quarter of the town and had begun gathering together an army of vampires, an army unlike anything ever seen before and one which Porphyr had clearly intended to join.
