But what gives them gravitas beyond the usual vampire story are the moral and ethical themes that underpin the tales.For a slightly different edge, it is Lydia who away from home initiates this adventure and Asher, laid low with illness who is at home in Oxford. World War 1 is in its second year and Lydia (shadowed by her pale guardian, Don Simon Ysidro) is at the front working at an advanced medical station. Lydia and Simon notice evidence of the "Others" that they encountered in Peking and relay the information home to James. Drawn into the investigation, James encounters these creatures in London.As expected, the historical background is accurate and engrossing.( I checked Maconochies war time stew and the St Pancras workhouse). Her descriptions of The Western Front give a genuine, pervasive horror to Lydia's situation. It intensifies when Hambly makes the logical conclusion that with all this misery and easy death, of course, vampires would be attracted to the battlefield. These vampires are not noble or glittery or nice. They are self-centred, cruel and childish in their simplistic view of the world. But even they can be enticed to help when their lives are at risk.The moral choices that Lydia, James and even Simon make are mirrored by the limited self-serving actions of Crowell, Francesca and Grippen. Perhaps the heart breaking and human decisions of the Irish nurse Meagher, and Dr. Lemoine reflect the choice of most of us. I cannot condemn their choice as I wonder what mine may have been.Finishing this book in a rush was like emerging from a black, dank hole. I was relieved to emerge into my clean safe world, but I would not miss this experience for anything. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Vampires n ww1 *by J***X on Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2021* What’s worse than a vampire or a revenantHumans trying to weaponise themLydia James n Simon struggle to stop the spread of the revenant plague n an evil plan to infect soldiers n civilians that threatens vampires n humans alike ? ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Using the dead to fight the living *by D***Y on Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2017* Hambly one again crafts a delectable tale, this time of vampires at the front in World War one. Her incomparable prose and brilliant characterization effortlessly transport the reader to the last spring of the war, when an inspired doctor and a desperate vampire collude to meld the Unliving and the Undead into a fearsome army to win the war for England and France. James and Lydia Asher with the enigmatic Don Simon Ysidro predict a different result of the release of hordes of revenants in the trenches, endless war and horrors undreamed. Together they seek to eliminate the spawning nightmare. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/60700080-pale-guardian-a-james-asher-vampire-novel-7-hardcover-april](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/60700080-pale-guardian-a-james-asher-vampire-novel-7-hardcover-april) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
