Blood Oath

De: Christopher Farnsworth

Narrado por: Bronson Pinchot

Zach Barrows is an ambitious young White House staffer whose career takes an unexpected turn when he's partnered with Nathaniel Cade, a secret agent sworn to protect the President. But Cade is no ordinary civil servant. Bound by a special blood oath, he is a vampire. Cade battles nightmares before they can break into the daylight world of the American dream, enemies far stranger-and far more dangerous-than civilians have ever imagined.
Blood Oath is the first in a series of novels featuring Nathaniel Cade-the President's vampire.

"Christopher Farnsworth's taut thriller Blood Oath is an irresistible page-turner.... A complex and unnervingly realistic tale in which vampire Nathaniel Cade is far less of a monster than his human colleagues at the CIA and FBI. Dazzlingly clever."—The Washington Post

"Blood Oath is exactly how I like my Presidential thrillers. With vampires."—Brad Meltzer, author of The Book of Fate

"Blood Oath is the vampire novel that finally gets it right. Christopher Farnsworth has done his homework in places where most writers wouldn't even know to look-and the result is a rollicking tale of the supernatural grounded in some of the true oddities of American history. If Dan Brown wrote a vampire thriller, this would be it."—Mitch Horowitz, author of Occult America

"As someone who thinks Stoker's Dracula has never been bettered, and who would happily stick a stake through the heart of most modern vampire fiction, it almost pains me to say how much I enjoyed Blood Oath. Witty, exciting, and compulsively readable, with a central character who seems destined to become a favorite of both skeptics and true blood believers, this may just be the best debut vampire novel in many years."—John Connolly, author of The Lovers

Entertaining!

If you want to listen to something that will spark your imagination and have you chuckling once in a while, be sure to get this book. I thought that the characters developed nicely, and the story line is original, to say the least. I quite like Cade and his handlers, Griff and Zach. Am looking forward to the next one, which I will be starting today.

Great book

I have read this book a couple of times now and enjoy it just as much as I originally did. You know I must like it to have bought it again.
I am Just sad that the series only has 3 books I would really like additional books

Fun from beginning to end

The premise sounds ridiculous -- and, of course, it is -- but this is one of the most fun vampire books yet. The writing and the reader make it a phenomenal listen.

Interesting and Different

This is not the usual 'monster' or vampire story. The premise is interesting. The story moves fast. The narration superb.

I aspire to write this well.

Phenomenal execution from start to finish. Excellence in story telling. I was hooked almost instantly.

Good Stuff

Any additional comments?

Overall a good book in that the concept was different and it combined suspense with some mythology.

Fantastic Trilogy! Must listen books

What made the experience of listening to Blood Oath the most enjoyable?

The whole concept of the "Black World" just outside the public knowledge and Nathanial Kade's demeanor and the exact interpretation of his oath are a solid foundation for the books. The relationship between Nathanial and his handlers as well as his recognition of who he is and how he fits into the whole scenario is so creative and well written. Don't want to say too much.
DON'T MISS IT!

Entertaining. Mildly

So this is one of those books where .. like pizza even when its bad its still kinda good. Not the worst. Not the best. Entertaining. If you miss a part you wont find yourself needing to rewind. Pinchot who is inconsistent with his narration skills actually does an okay job in the book.
All in all .. I give a 4 across. Didn't hate. Not running to spend a credit on the next one

Wow!

Wasn't expecting such a fascinating story! Definitely looking forward to the next installment! The back story was intriguing, and the action was fantastic!

MUST READ IF UR A SCI FI FAN
