Publisher's summary

The ultimate secret. The ultimate agent. Nathaniel Cade returns.

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 of which ordinary citizens only dream. When a new outbreak of an ancient evil - one that he 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.

I can not wait to listen to more.

I am listening to all of these books. I love them and can not get enough of Cade and Zach. I hope Christopher Farnsworth can keep writing more like this. Bronson Pinchot is excellent in giving life to the characters. I highly recommend this series of books.

Excellent series - keep reading

I don't imagine you're reading this unless you've read the first installment of the series, 'Blood Oath'. If I'm being honest, this second book in the series is a shade less potent than the first installment. Still pretty darn good though - I definitely recommend reading / listening. I'm maintaining the five star rating because, at the time I'm writing this, I've read the third book, which was awesome. Overall, this series holds five stars. If you're a fan of 'Blood Oath' but think this is a weaker tea, keep drinking, you'll be happy you did.

Loved it!

This is a vampire series (3 books). You don???t have a doe-eyed female saying bite my neck or a Clan of vampires trying to integrate into society or take over the vamp world. What you do have is a reluctant vampire; he made one mistake and has to attone for it for the rest of eternality
Cane is bounded by a pledged but also believes in fighting for the values of Unites States of America. Cane goes out (with his sidekick Zach) to fight the monsters so you and I can sleep monster free. As a matter of fact, he is sooo good we don???t even know there are monsters. So we have got espionage, vamps, politics, the values of ???Red, White and Blue??? (our flag) and a vampire who does not understand 21st century colloquialisms.

Bro son Pinchot is brilliant!

When you combine Pinchot’s enormous talent with a compelling, sometimes terrifying story, you have something well worth the listen. I forgot I was only listening and not watching! I’m looking forward - enormously - to the next instalment.

When it's good-it's really good!

I think I have been with Audible since its inception (or a really long time) and because of that, I may be a bit too critical, at times.
Not this time!
This series has it all...great story line, light touches of humor, a marvelous vampire with a terrific sidekick who happens to be the vampire's unlikely handler, awesome writing that flows like a stream going over rapids, and best of all it is read by my most favorite narrator who (and I have no idea how the man does it) makes each character totally and completely unique.
I'm going back to listen to it again, just to see what parts I may have missed.
I hope you like it as well as I did. Best wishes!

This second book in the series continues at the same level as the first. The plot gets more complications including a CIA Shadow Company and an extinction level threat. It is enjoyable tracing the story as it unfolds. Bronson Pinchot is again wonderful pitching his voice perfectly for each separate character. His range of voices is truly amazing—seeming like a multi-voice cast production.

Like "Blood Oath"? You'll like this one, too.

Cade and Zach are back with more adventure and carnage. Zach has accepted his position with resignation and some humor, while Cade is trying to be patient with Zach's inexperience. The two are developing a rapport that is kinda cute in a way. I hope Christopher Farnsworth is able to come out with another Cade & Zach book soon.

Just gets better.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This was a unique story. Very enjoyable.

What other book might you compare The President's Vampire to and why?

Blood Oath is the first book in this series.

What does Bronson Pinchot bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

His portrayal of Nathaniel is great.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Didn't want to stop listening.

Dracula meets the Bourne Identity

I love good Vampire literature, it's hard to find. I loved all 3 books. The story line is completely implausible but like fast food that you know isn't good for you it tastes so good. They have to make a Tv series out of this, HBO would do it justice. Highly recommend this, if you liked "The Strain" By Chuck Hogan and Guilermo Del Toro you will like these books.

There has to be a follow up and please bring this too the screen and not a 90 min butchered version like what they just did too Stephen King's "The Dark Tower" total crap, you could get at least 4 seasons out of this. ~T.M. Harvey

Awesome story

I really enjoyed this. Listened while driving, really past the time. Look forward to the next one.
