Nathaniel Cade works for the President.Nathaniel Cade is 160 years old.
Nathaniel Cade is a vampire.
One hundred forty years ago, Nathaniel Cade was bound by a special blood oath to serve the President of the United States. He battles demons, bogeymen and other vampires – enemies that are far more dangerous than the average civilian can imagine.
In this first book in the series, Zach Barrows is introduced to Nathaniel Cade as his new handler…his Renfro. Zach was an up-and-comer in political circles until one serious lapse of judgment put him squarely at the top of the President’s Sh—List. Hence, the assignment to babysit the President’s vampire.
This story is great and I love the character of Nathaniel Cade. Christopher Farnsworth does an awesome job of creating an anti-hero that you can cheer. Cade is arrogant, rude, menacing and generally seems to dislike the humans he protects. His relationship with Zach has its ups and downs as they (Zach, really) learn to work together.
Since it is the first in the series there is a bit of drag as the author introduces the backstory but the action keeps the story moving along. The audio book is narrated by Bronson Pinchot who does a great job with the various characters.
