Blood Oath - Christopher Farnsworth


Todays Vampire story is one that is not written in a supernatural fantasy way but in a way that if Vampires really existed, then their could be a possibility that this story could happen and may have a hint of truth to it.

                              Review : Blood Oath - Christopher Farnsworth - May 2010

This action-filled debut by scriptwriter Farnsworth reads like a cross between P.N. Elrod's historical vampire adventures and Thomas Greanias's conspiracy thrillers. Nathaniel Cade, the president's vampire, swore to fight on the side of President Andrew Jackson and all his successors. In the present day, Zach Barrows, a rising political star caught canoodling with the president's daughter, suddenly finds himself training to be Cade's handler after tough, wise special agent William Griffin retires. As they try to stop Cade's old nemesis, Dr. Johann Konrad, from creating an army of Frankensteinian monster soldiers, they uncover a deeper government conspiracy. Entertainingly plausible historical documents at the beginning of each chapter and a sense that this fight is just a skirmish in a larger war help elevate the book above its sometimes bland characters and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.
Blood Oath flips between the creation of Nathaniel Cade and his becoming the Presidents Vampire back in the year 1867 when he was discovered and pardoned by Andrew Jackson to modern day where Cade pairs up with Zach and Griffin. Blood Oath is a novel that will have you hooked in the first ferw pages and I like how at the start of each chapter , they have added a paragraph out of the The President's Vampire Handbook.
