StainlessStainless by Todd Grimson

Below average, whilst there is nothing too wrong with it the characters are empty drawings and the narrative cold, a shame.
Dracula: The NovelisationDracula: The Novelisation by Fred Saberhagen

For completists only, this is fairly pointless a novel of the screenplay of a novel (in fairness the screenplay did go elsewhere to the original) my tip read Bram Stoker's original

Knight of the Black Rose (Dragonlance: The Terror of Lord Soth)Knight of the Black Rose (Dragonlance: The Terror of Lord Soth) by James Lowder
