Blood Oath

Written by Christopher Farnsworth

Average Score: 68(5)

The ultimate secret. The ultimate agent. The President's vampire.

Zach Barrows is an ambitious young White House staffer whose career takes an unexpected turn when he's partnered with Nathaniel Cade, a secret agent sworn to protect the president. But Cade is no ordinary civil servant. Bound by a special blood oath, Cade has spent more than 140 years in service to the president, battling nightmares before they can break into the daylight world of the American dream.

Immediately Zach and Cade receive their first joint assignment: one that uncovers a shadowy government conspiracy and a plot to attack the Unites States with a gruesome new biological weapon. Zach soon learns that the world is far stranger, and far more dangerous, than he ever imagined . . . and that his partner is the least of his problems.

...[the] sense that this fight is just a skirmish in a larger war help elevate the book above its sometimes bland characters and their predictable motivations.

...an exciting story filled with fighting action, the undead, secrets, and evil of all sorts.

Review Rating: 60
...well-written, has a definite film/TV style (perhaps not too far-fetched considering that Farnsworth is also a screenwriter) and if you can live with the impracticalities, a solid, fun read.
