Book number two of a two book series of an alien invasion science 
fiction series.  I read the well printed and well bound MMPB published 
by Tor in 2021.  I suspect that there will be a third book in the series 
as the book ends on a cliffhanger, which, I plan to purchase and read.

I've got vampires in my alien invasion science fiction book !

The first book in the series detailed an invasion by the Shongairi in 
which they used multiple kinetic weapons on every city on Earth of 
100,000+ people and all military bases.  Three quarters of the human 
population of Earth died in a matter of minutes.  Due to the fact that 
the Shongairi space ships could only attain six times the speed of 
light, their understanding of Earth technology was very outdated and 
they did not know that we had progressed from an agrarian society into a 
very industrialized society.

As the first Shongairi troop ships were landing on the Earth, they were 
destroyed by F-22 stealth fighter jets.  As soon as the F-22 jets landed 
at their hidden airfields, those were also destroyed using kinetic 
weapons.  After the Shongairi troops rampaged through the Earth 
population remnants, the vampires appeared out of Eastern Europe.  The 
vampires were virtually indestructible and rode back up on the outside 
of their landers to the Shongairi space ships in Earth orbit.  They then 
boarded the space ships and proceed to kill all the Shongairi in orbit.

Now the horribly damaged human population on Earth has to rebuild, both 
the population and the facilities.  But they have an advantage, the now 
empty Shongairi space ships and several Galactic Hegemony neural 
educators.  Vlad Dracula has taken one of the interstellar space ships 
with a crew of several hundred and is headed 200+ light years to the 
Shongairi home planet to pay back some of the damage that they did to 
Earth.  And one of the few remaining state governors of the USA has 
become the USA President and is planning on creating a one world 
government to fight the Galactic Hegemony.
