This gory horror-thriller opens immediately after book one
in the Vampire Federation series, Uprising. Detective
Joel Solomon is less than pleased to wake up and find he has
become one of his hated enemies, a vampire.
Vampire Federation Agent Alex Bishop knows it is only a
matter of time until Joel's instincts leads him to her, his
sire, and she is performing a very delicate balancing act
between her duties to the Federation and her disgust for the
level of incompetence she glimpsed while fighting to protect
her superiors.
In the meantime, the Ubervampyr race is upping the stakes,
enlisting the eager aid of a cannibalistic serial killer by
offering him the reward of turning him, as long as he can
retrieve the Cross of Ardaich, while various well-defined
characters with smaller roles are in danger's way with about
as much combined survival skill as an escaped Easter bunny.
McCabe has plenty of skill to carry off the complex,
Byzantine plotlines and high number of important but low-
profile characters. Readers who don't mind their thrillers
with a (very) high level of violence accompanied by buckets
of gore will enjoy THE CROSS a great deal. If you are
looking for a more sedate paranormal thriller however, be
warned. The level of violence slides the book solidly into
the horror genre in my opinion.
The vampires call it the Cross of Ardaich: a relic thought
to have been destroyed in the war between the Federation and
the rebels. But it has been found, and its incredible powers
could signal the end of civilization...
A cannibalistic serial killer becomes the perfect tool for
the race of the Ubervampyr. His mission: find the cross. His
reward: join the ranks of the undead. On his trail are
Detective Joel Solomon and Vampire Federation agent Alex
Bishop. Once lovers and now enemies, they must work together
to prevent the ultimate disaster. Unless they can foil the
vampyrs' plans, salvation for the race will be just a dream
gone bad.
I loved the first book ( I have that one) in this series and haven't been able to to find The Cross yet.. trust me I have looked in all the book stores around here and no one has this..I have a hold for it at the library for it but the hold has been on for a month now....this is a great series....Love the author Sean McCabe (Joanne Sumner 9:50pm March 1, 2012)
