Appalachian Overthrow
E.E. Knight has proven “a master of his craft. His prose is
controlled but interesting, and his characters are fully formed and come to life.” In his latest Vampire Earth novel, the national bestselling
author tells a tale about David Valentine’s fellow freedom fighter
Ahn-Kha when he was imprisoned and forced into hard labor by the
Kurians — and the rebellion he led against them…
Captured and
sold to the Kurian–allied Maynes Conglomerate, to work as a slave in the coal mines of Appalachia, Ahn-Kha is angered and appalled by the
dangerous working conditions, and the brutal treatment inflicted upon
his fellow miners. When a protest against shortages is deliberately and
bloodily suppressed, Ahn-Kha sets himself against the ruling Maynes
family and sets out on a trail of vengeance through the Coal Country.
Finally, the people of the Coal Country are driven to the breaking
point — and they now have a leader, a powerful and battle-hardened leader, determined to forge them into an army that will wage guerrilla warfare
against the Maynes family and their Kurian masters — and free the
Appalachians from their tyranny…

E. E. Knight
E.E. Knight writes the kind of speculative fiction that refuses to sit still. His work straddles the line between post-apocalyptic survival and high-stakes fantasy, laced with dry wit, rich world-building, and characters who endure—not because they’re invincible, but because they refuse to give in. Whether he's chronicling humanity’s last stand in the Vampire Earth series or sending dragons into the unknown in Age of Fire, Knight has a knack for weaving genre elements into something that feels both familiar and entirely his own.
