After gathering all the backstory in book one, this novel was much easier and faster paced for me. I loved the more linear story, Valentine's transition to a Cat, and the addition of Smoke/Ali (a spunky, female partner).

I thought it was another good book in the series. The author continues to engage with a different type of vampire as compared to the "norm". I look forward to the next book and would highly recommend this if you enjoy fantasyish, post-apocalyptic genres.

The characters are fairly well developed, but the plot is sorely lacking. The chapters are very episodic in nature which I don't particularly care for.

This follows up the action from Way of the Wolf, the first book in the Vampire Earth series. We now find David Valentine being railroaded by an officer who wants to keep his record spotless in spite of a couple of his own poor decisions, and Valentine makes for the perfect fall guy. Rather than face the stigma of a court martial, even one he has a good chance of winning, Valentine resigns his commission as a Lieutenant and signs up to be a cat, a covert unit of loners who sabotage, spy and otherwise make life difficult for the Kurian Order.
E. E. Knight has a way with character development, making them compelling and sympathetic -- even villains.Choice of the Cat is every bit as engrossing as read as Way of the Wolf; I highly recommend it.

A good second instalment in The Vampire Earth series that picks up where Way Of The Wolf left off. The war with the invading Kur and their allies continues and sees our hero progress from Wolf to Cat as he tries to thwart a new kind of vampire.
The characters and plot are again strong and the pace is unrelenting so if you like vampire tales with a difference, then this series is well recommended.

I liked this one better than the first but I can't say whether it's because I'm getting to know the primary protag better or not. I really enjoyed the two new characters that were introduced. I liked the implications for future story lines with these new characters. I was glad about how the climax of the story went and I'm looking forward to seeing how that's going to effect the long story arc.
I enjoyed it, more than I expected to.
