    Nah, vampires only hibernated a generation or two. Just long enough for prey populations to grow back to sustainable levels, and just long enough forget them and begin to scoff at grandma’s crazy campfire tales.

    Peter Watts - Blindsight

    And yes, it’s hard science fiction. With a vampire ship captain. Seriously.

    Many versions free on the author’s site. Give the prologue a spin.
