A former British spy tracks a vampire who is conspiring with the Austrian government in an evil plot

After a career spying for Queen Victoria, James Asher enjoyed a quiet retirement until he met the vampire Don Simon, an immortal Spaniard who taught him about the secret society of bloodsucking undead.

Now, one of the vampires, the Earl of Ernchester, has turned his back on Britain. When Asher spots him boarding a train for Paris in the company of an Austrian spy, he springs into action. If the immortals can forge an alliance with England’s enemies, then the Empire is doomed. Asher tails the Earl to Paris and across the continent, plunging into the heart of a terrifying conspiracy of the undead - with the fate of the British Empire at stake.

Classic Hambly.

I wish she expanded this series, as it is one of her best works. good choice of narrator.

Great follow up to "Those who Hunt the Night"

Fun supernatural mystery. Great voice performance. A mix of early 20th century spycraft and investigation with vampires. Any notion of friendship or romance between people and vampires is always treated as foolish and dangerous. There are real consequences. Even the main characters experience harm in their dealings. A refreshing take on the genre.

Not as good as book 1

Another interesting twist on the vampire story. Lots of rich history and details but the story line was not as easy to follow.

The performance was outstanding and well read and kept me engaged even when I got lost in the story itself.

Wonderful!

This is such a fine series! Well performed and full of the important ethical questions that we need so badly.

great book

the second in the series. best to read in order.. highly recommend..the narration is excellent

Good series, but where's the other audiobooks?

Enjoyed this a lot. The story jumped about a bit, but not a major issue for me. I loved the small moments between Lydia and Ysidro. I like the narrator a lot, but there was a weird issue with the sound at some points. Sometimes he would start a sentence in one tone, and then completely flip to another a second later.

I hope Amazon records the rest of the series too.

Good, but not as good as the first.

Narration was very good. Worth a listen just for that but parts of the story are very frustrating.

Would make a vampire go towards the light...

One of the few books I couldn't get through. seemed like ENDLESS narration of the simplest scenes and not very interesting characters
