The Ultimate Secret. The Ultimate Agent. Nathaniel Cade returns.

For 140 years, Nathaniel Cade has been the President’s Vampire, sworn by a blood oath to protect the President and America from their supernatural enemies. Cade’s existence is the most closely guarded of White House secrets: a superhuman covert agent who is the last line of defense against nightmare scenarios that ordinary citizens can only dream of.

When a new outbreak of an ancient evil – one that Cade has seen before – comes to light, he and his human handler, Zach Barrows, must track down its source. To ‘protect and serve’ often means settling old scores and confronting new betrayals . . . as only a century-old predator can.

Brad Meltzer
BLOOD OATH is exactly how I like my Presidential thrillers. With vampires.
John Connolly on BLOOD OATH
Witty, exciting, and compulsively readable

Dracula meets West Wing (or even 24) - what is there not to like?
<i>LA Times</i> on BLOOD OATH
A political-thriller concept with bite
<i>Bookbitch.com</i>
A super cool read . . . Blood Oath is fascinating and entertaining, and adds new blood to the current vampire craze
<i>Washington Post</i>
An irresistible page-turner that makes one realize that, no matter how tough the War on Terror may be, at least it's not the War on Horror . . . unnervingly realistic . . . dazzlingly clever . . . And as an added bonus, readers finally learn the truth behind the failed assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan and that mysterious 18 1/2 -minute gap in the Watergate tapes.
<i>New York Post (Required Reading)</i>
Farnsworth has written a rollicking Washington thriller about this "Drac Bauer" -- Nathaniel Cade
<i>The Vampire Librarian</i>
Reminded me of reading a great Robert Ludlum spy thriller, but with supernatural elements thrown in . . . fantasy, mystery and thriller fans alike will love this one
<i>Fantasy Book Critic</i>
24 meets Jonathan Maberry's Joe Ledger novels meets Fringe meets Blade . . . addictively fun and entertaining
<i>Fiction Finder</i>
Do you ever get a giddy feeling when you know you have come across something that is truly great? That is how I felt after reading BLOOD OATH by Christopher Farnsworth
<i>Monster Librarian</i>
Combines action, suspense, mystery, and horror . . . a page turner from the very beginning . . . Highly recommended
<i>Canberra Times</i>
Given the popularity of vampires, it is not surprising that they are appearing more frequently in crime and thriller titles, either as detectives or villains. The latest is Christopher Farnsworth's fast-moving thriller Blood Oath, which features vampire Nathaniel Cade, a Secret Service agent sworn to protect the American president from supernatural threats. Great fun...the characters are sufficiently well developed to ground the storyline. A good dose of humour also helps to move the story along.

Absolutely first-class entertainment . . . edge of the seat stuff, and terrific fun

<i>Kirkus Review</i>
. . . it's hard to beat Cade and company riding to the rescue
