Buchcover "A Tale of Struggle and Adversity in the Fight to keep the Amiga alive. 'From Vultures to Vampires' is the fascinating true account of what happened to Commodore after the fateful New York auction sale of 1995.

Volume 2 chronicles the machinations and intricate shell games surrounding the Amiga's ownership from 2005 to 2010. The heated battle for the post-Commodore Amiga crown led to the ongoing development of competing next-generation PowerPC-based computers and operating systems.

As companies faded from the scene, new champions took up the challenge of keeping the Amiga dream alive. The twists and turns involving Commoodore's trademarks were more convoluted. with repeased opportunistic attempts to control the Commodore brand, something that continues to this day.
