Sinopse

As in So Yesterday, Scott Westerfeld, author of the acclaimed science fiction series Uglies, creates a clever and entertaining plot set in New York City. Even non-vampire fans will delight in the scientific theories behind vampirism and follow young Cal on his hunts and investigations. By reinventing the mythos surrounding these creatures, Westerfeld transforms a horror archetype and brings an old myth alive again. A year ago, Cal Thompson was nothing more than a simple college student—more interested in meeting girls and having fun than attending biology classes. Now, after a night with a mysterious woman named Morgan, biology has literally become his life. Cal has been infected by a parasite that causes terrible effects on its host. But he becomes merely a carrier of the virus, and its most devastating effects remain unaffected. In other words, he gains night vision, a heightened sense of smell, strength, and agility, but is spared from becoming a predator. Did we forget that part? Yes, the virus transforms its host into creatures called peeps, better known as vampires. The problem is that the virus is sexually transmitted—that's right, no biting—and is spreading rapidly throughout New York. Because of his immunity, Cal goes to work for an ancient organization of vampire hunters, and his job is to find the peeps before they find new partners... or would that be victims? Whichever you prefer. Above all, he wants to find Morgan and understand his "genetic heritage." What he didn't expect was that, along the way, he would stumble upon a mystery that spans generations. And a love he'll have to keep at bay... With his usual wit and sharp humor, Scott Westerfeld makes The First Days an original novel about an old horror archetype.
