Tainted Blood

A Miracle Cure
At long last, Elijah Pike has procured a vaccine powerful enough to purify his vampire blood, and hopefully bring an end to his insatiable appetite. He shares his findings with those of his kind who also wish to heal their eternal torment.

A Bloody Rebellion
But the vampire, Theo Thantos doesn't want to be cured. He doesn't care if vampires spill innocent blood to ensure their own survival. He will not allow Pike's vaccine to drive the nosferatu to extinction. With a cadre of fanatics devoted to his cause, Thantos plans to transform America's most powerful people into vampires under his control.

A War Between Immortals
The battle lines have been drawn. Thantos' army appears unstoppable, but Pike's experiments on vampirism go beyond mere treatment. He has found a way of increasing a vampire's mental and physical abilities. It's a discovery that could provide his brood with an edge they so desperately need against Thantos' forces of darkness. For unless Pike and his followers can crush their enemies, the mortal world be transformed into a living hell . . .
