Background
Justin Somper first had the idea for the book "five years before and gave up his full-time job to pursue it". He notes that "Vampirates is set in the future, although it feels rather like the past." Somper believes that in the novel the character of Grace in particular comes to change her views of who is actually her enemy and discovers that the notion of who is one's enemy is often defined by one's perspective or by "lack of information or misinformation."
Synopsis

A vicious storm separates them, destroying their boat and leaving them fighting for their lives in the cruel, cold water. Picked up one of the more notorious pirate ships,The Diablo, Connor soon finds himself wielding a cutlass. But does he have the stomach to be a pirate? Grace finds herself aboard a more mysterious ship of vampire pirates. But it turns out that most of the vampires are quite nice... except for Sidorio.
