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.

Reviews
Cade is a wonderful creation . . . Slick, fast-moving fun
Terrific . . . Cade seems destined to become a hero the world will find hard to forget
BLOOD OATH is exactly how I like my Presidential thrillers. With vampires.
Witty, exciting, and compulsively readable
Dracula meets West Wing (or even 24) - what is there not to like?
A political-thriller concept with bite
A super cool read . . . Blood Oath is fascinating and entertaining, and adds new blood to the current vampire craze
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.
Farnsworth has written a rollicking Washington thriller about this "Drac Bauer" -- Nathaniel Cade
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
24 meets Jonathan Maberry's Joe Ledger novels meets Fringe meets Blade . . . addictively fun and entertaining
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
Combines action, suspense, mystery, and horror . . . a page turner from the very beginning . . . Highly recommended
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
Surprising and engrossing . . . Pulp fiction at its very best
An entertaining debut novel . . . a refreshing change
A brilliant central idea
Tense, fast-moving, with amusing uses of improvised weapons . . . a rattling good read
A fun, thrilling, fast-paced, topsy-turvy ride that kept me hooked from beginning to end . . . one of those books that I enjoyed far more than I expected to
. . . it's hard to beat Cade and company riding to the rescue
