https://www.amazon.com/Under-My-Heel-Kurtherian-Gambit/dp/B0CHL96YD8

Book number six of a twenty-one science fiction and paranormal fantasy
series. There is also an eleven book follow on series and several other
books related to the The Kurtherian Gambit Universe, over 200 books in
total. I read the well printed and well bound POD (print on demand)
trade paperback self published by the author in 2016 that I bought new
on Amazon in 2026. I own the next two books in the series already. The related series are listed at:

The series is a cross between science fiction and paranormal fantasy. A thousand plus years ago, an alien space ship crash landed in the
Baltics. A man, Michael, found the space ship, went inside, and was
forever changed into the first vampire using alien nanocytes. However,
there were werewolves and werebears already existing on Earth and they
still exist.

Michael has sired vampires and they have sired vampires. But only one
of the vampire "children" is a daywalker like Michael. And Michael
enforces strict rules among the vampires and the weres, no blood
drinking, no letting humans know of them, etc. Violators of Michael's
rules face swift termination.

But it has been thousand years since Michael was changed and he now
sleeps for years at a time. Michael's helpers found a young woman named Bethany Anne working for the USA government who is dying of a rare blood disease. Michael took her to the alien space ship to become the second
first generation vampire on Earth. Now Bethany Anne is cleaning Earth
of the evil vampires and weres but, they are fighting back. Michael was missing for a while but Bethany Anne found him and freed him from his
prison. And there is more cleaning to do.

This series is real pulp like old science fiction with lots of action
and dialogue. I love it !

Warning: this series might be damaging to your savings account since
there are so many books.
