New Jobs Can Suck . . .Today is Liz Adams' first day at the Center for Specter Control. Established by Theodore Roosevelt in 1890, its clandestine mission is to protect the world from the stuff of myths and legends. However, before Liz is fully briefed, alarm bells sound. The perimeter of RES SITE-ALPHA has been breached. Not an escape. An incursion. Answers will have to wait. First, the CSC must save nine humans from being the guests of honor at a feast the inhabitants of Vamp Town are throwing in their honor. Perhaps by day two, Liz will have a better understanding of what she has gotten herself into . . . . . . if she survives the night.______________________________________________________________________________In his debut novel, Jeff Seats has written an urban fantasy that will appeal to fans of Justin Cronin-The Passage, Chuck Hogan and Guillermo del Toro-The Strain, S.M. Stirling-A Taint in the Blood, Silvia Moreno-Garcia-Certain Dark Things, and even Jim Butcher-Storm Front. Vamp Town imagines a world in which vampires and other supernatural creatures are alive and active and have been in the world for a very long time. In 1890 the vampire race was on a rapid path to extinction. Alexei Rurik, Khan of all the families, proposed and signed a startling agreement with Theodore Roosevelt: In exchange for a haven and guaranteed supply of blood, vampires would no longer roam the night feasting at will. For 126 years, vampires and humans have not mixed . . . until now. Passengers off a broken-down bus have stumbled into the reservation, known by its guardians at the Center for Specter Control (a secret government agency) as Vamp Town, and agent Craig Wright with his newly minted partner, Liz Adams, have to retrieve them. But they may have a larger problem. Alexei's malcontent brother Vladimir has had his first taste of sweet, fresh blood in over a century. The renewed strength he feels coursing through his veins has emboldened him to challenge his brother's leadership and escape the confines of his perceived "prison" returning to an unsuspecting world in which vampires are merely fantasy characters that populate horror movies and folklore. To combat this renewed threat to humanity, Craig and Liz may have to listen to consider an outrageous proposal from Alexei . . .

Work Can Be Draining . . .Liz Adams survived her first day as an agent of the Center for Specter Control . . . barely. Apparently, saving humans stranded in a secret government reservation populated by vampires wasn't challenging enough. Now, Liz and partner Craig Wright have the unenviable task of locating the rogue vampire, Vladimir Rurik, before he can revive a diminished vampire race. Until then, people will die or worse . . .. . . and no one is safe.__________________________________________________________________________________In Blood City, his second novel, Jeff Seats has continued the urban fantasy that will appeal to fans of Justin Cronin-The Passage, Chuck Hogan and Guillermo del Toro-The Strain, S.M. Stirling-A Taint in the Blood, Silvia Moreno-Garcia-Certain Dark Things, and even Jim Butcher-Storm Front. Vamp Town and Blood City imagine a world in which vampires are alive and active and have been in the world for a very long time. In Vamp Town humans stumbled into the vampire reservation known as Vamp Town where Vladimir Rurik found new vitality in the unexpected access to fresh blood making him strong enough to break the genetic bonds that had shackled him to the will of the Khan of the Immortals - his brother Alexei -and escape the confines of the government run reservation and its packaged food supply. Now in Blood City the secret agency administering Vamp Town - the Center for Specter Control - must find the rogue before he can carry out his bloody intent against humanity. With dwindling resources, the burden strains the CSC to the breaking point. The task falls to agents Liz Adams and Craig Wright, along with a few new team members, to find the elusive Vladimir. Luck shines on them when they discover a series of blood draining murders leading from Seattle to Portland. To find Vlad's lair, however, they will have to probe the depths of Portland's notorious Shanghai tunnels. Elimination is their only option. Meanwhile, Alex's offer to help the CSC has fallen on deaf ears and he must accept a life different from the past 100 years and the carnage he will now have to cause to sustain it. With the CSC on the verge of collapse, an unprepared world appears to have no one to fill the void to as humanity's protectors. But in Rome, the vampiric threat has never been forgotten, and after decades in abeyance, an elite force is being called back to duty. The Cacciatori.The Pope's Hunters.
