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."
