Work Can Be Draining . . . Liz Adams survived her first day as an agent of the Center for Specter Control . . . barely. Apparently, saving humans stranded in a secret government reservation populated by vampires wasn't challenging enough. Now, Liz and partner Craig Wright have the unenviable task of locating the rogue vampire, Vladimir Rurik, before he can revive a diminished vampire race. Until then, people will die or worse . . . . . . and no one is safe. __________________________________________________________________________________ In Blood City, his second novel, Jeff Seats has continued the urban fantasy that will appeal to fans of Justin Cronin-The Passage, Chuck Hogan and Guillermo del Toro-The Strain, S.M. Stirling-A Taint in the Blood, Silvia Moreno-Garcia-Certain Dark Things, and even Jim Butcher-Storm Front. Vamp Town and Blood City imagine a world in which vampires are alive and active and have been in the world for a very long time. In Vamp Town humans stumbled into the vampire reservation known as Vamp Town where Vladimir Rurik found new vitality in the unexpected access to fresh blood making him strong enough to break the genetic bonds that had shackled him to the will of the Khan of the Immortals - his brother Alexei -and escape the confines of the government run reservation and its packaged food supply. Now in Blood City the secret agency administering Vamp Town - the Center for Specter Control - must find the rogue before he can carry out his bloody intent against humanity. With dwindling resources, the burden strains the CSC to the breaking point. The task falls to agents Liz Adams and Craig Wright, along with a few new team members, to find the elusive Vladimir. Luck shines on them when they discover a series of blood draining murders leading from Seattle to Portland. To find Vlad's lair, however, they will have to probe the depths of Portland's notorious Shanghai tunnels. Elimination is their only option. Meanwhile, Alex's offer to help the CSC has fallen on deaf ears and he must accept a life different from the past 100 years and the carnage he will now have to cause to sustain it. With the CSC on the verge of collapse, an unprepared world appears to have no one to fill the void to as humanity's protectors. But in Rome, the vampiric threat has never been forgotten, and after decades in abeyance, an elite force is being called back to duty. The Cacciatori. The Pope's Hunters.
