Thriller Paranormal - Supernatural

A shockingly disturbing tale of the vampire who holds court over the secrets of the US government!

The book begins almost three months after the tragedy of 9/11. From start to finish, the pages of this novel are filled with one conspiracy after another and things that just made me go hmmm. THE PRESIDENT'S VAMPIRE could not have been released at a better time, coming after the death of Osama as we know it. Yet the theories and mind of Farnsworth will make even the most conservative reader wonder how it all really went down. For any conspiracy theorist, this book is sure to bring light on subjects you never ever thought of. For the average reader, I would like to think I am one of this number, it will still leave you full of questions that will never be answered! Non-stop action, jam packed full of mystery and intrigue THE PRESIDENT'S VAMPIRE will truly keep you on the edge of your seat!

Nathaniel Cade has sworn a blood oath to the President of the United States to do his bidding. Throughout the decades, he has served and protected a great many presidents and a great number of secrets that the government would deny, deny, deny. At one time he saw the decimation of a city by a hybrid monster that seemed to be able to multiply through its bite or slice alone. Now Cade has watched his latest target turn into the monster he thought he had destroyed so many years ago. Working for the government has never been easy. What one branch knows another keeps secret and just when you think you know everybody some new secret agency pops up out of nowhere. Keeping the players straight from the enemies seems virtually impossible, and Cade must stay on his toes to protect not only his country, but the world at large.

For Zach Barrows, this job is not the job of his dreams. He has been assigned as the human handler and key contact for the biggest secret of the White House -- the vampire known as Cade. When a new mutation of an old threat arises it is up to Zach and Cade to trace its source and put a stop to the madness. Unfortunately, that will require working closely with an unknown and nonexistent branch of the CIA. The Shadow Company, as they are called, hires sociopaths mostly from the military to carry out its missions. All those employed by Shadow do not have to live by the rules of society, there is nothing that will stop them from getting the information they want or killing whomever they choose. Just when Zach thinks he has found a common human ally, all hell breaks loose and Shadow just may be the cause of it all. When all is said and done Zach is left wondering which threat is worse... the one you live with or the ones you only talk about in hushed voices?

SUMMARY

For 140 years, Nathaniel Cade has been the President’s Vampire, sworn to protect and serve his country. 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 which Cade has seen before—comes to light, Cade 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 centuries-old predator can.
