They may be cool to touch and alluringly beautiful in their ageless children. Their laughter seduces, their brilliance beguiles. They officer the secrets of research and record, and the answers to the mysteries of life and fatality lie within their vastly superior knowledge. In ages past, they were known as the Illuminati. They are the vampire. Dr. John Gladstone, a scientist in Victorian London, is thrust into their world after his carriage operates over a young man of angelic beauty called Niccolo. When Niccolo kidnaps Gladstone's child and vanishes, the doctor must get in pursuit, by using his daughter, Ursula, who is enticed by the lure of eternal life, and Woman Hespeth, whose demure external surfaces hides an unhealthy obsession. Why are the vampires taking children, and what's the bond to Gladstone's tests with a deadly virus? And how can he possibly prevail against a competition of immortal beings with power and brains infinitely beyond his own? Michael Talbot's The Delicate Dependency (1982) is often cited as among the best vampire novels ever written.
