Tras Nocturna y Oscura, por fin llega Eterna, el desenlace de la Trilogía de la OscuridadNo es una coincidencia que el Invierno Nuclear (el oscurecimiento de la Tierra durante las 24 horas del día menos una, cuando hay luz solar) haya creado un ambiente casi perfecto para los vampiros. Ellos han ganado, tienen el control del planeta y los humanos han sido finalmente dominados, encerrados en vastos campos de concentracion por el mundo donde, criados como vacas, ovejas o cerdos, son alimentados y ?cosechados? para el mantenimiento y placer del Master.Una red desorganizada de humanos libres, constituida por gente comun, entre ellos Eph, Zack, Vassily y Gus, continua una desesperada resistencia, interrumpiendo el devastador nuevo orden del mundo y batallando contra los Señores Vampiros en todas las ocasiones posibles. Para ganar, tienen que confiar en la intervencion de una inesperada raza de seres (quienes otorgan un nuevo sentido a la frase angeles y ministros de la gracia defiendannos) quienes organizan a los humanos para la ultima batalla, la que recupere y rehabilite el planeta para toda la humanidad.Se juega con los sobrevivientes como si fueran peones en un juego del Bien y el Mal que tiene sus origenes en los tiempos Biblicos, y que requiere del ...

The vampiric virus unleashed in The Strain has taken over New York City. It is spreading across the country and soon, the world. Amid the chaos, Eph Goodweather—head of the Center for Disease Control's team—leads a small band out to stop these bloodthirsty monsters. But it may be too late. Ignited by the Master's horrific plan, a war erupts between Old and New World vampires, each vying for total control. Caught between these warring forces, humans—powerless and vulnerable—are no longer the consumers, but the consumed. Though Eph understands the vampiric plague better than anyone, even he cannot protect those he loves from the invading evil. His ex-wife, Kelly, has been turned by the Master, and now she stalks the city, in the darkness, looking for her chance to reclaim Zack, Eph's young son. With the future of the world in the balance, Eph and his courageous team, guided by the brilliant former professor and Holocaust survivor Abraham Setrakian and exterminator Vasiliy Fet, must combat a terror whose ultimate plan is more terrible than anyone first imagined—a fate worse than annihilation.
