Queen of the Damned -- Anne Rice

<b>"With <i>The Queen of the Damned, </i> Anne Rice has created universes within universes, traveling back in time as far as ancient, pre-pyramidic Egypt and journeying from the frozen mountain peaks of Nepal to the crowded, sweating streets of southern Florida."--<i>Los Angeles Times</i></b> <p/>In a feat of virtuoso storytelling, Anne Rice unleashes Akasha, the queen of the damned, who has risen from a six-thousand-year sleep to let loose the powers of the night. Akasha has a marvelously devious plan to "save" mankind and destroy the vampire Lestat--in this extraordinarily sensual novel of the complex, erotic, electrifying world of the undead. <p/><b>Praise for <i>The Queen of the Damned</i></b> <p/>"Mesmerizing . . . a wonderful web of dark-side mythology."<b>--<i>San Francisco Chronicle</i></b> <p/> "Imaginative . . . intelligently written . . .
