At Sword's Point (Knights of Blood)

This is a fine sequel to Knights of the Blood. It whets your appetite for more as the story unfolds. Unfortunately, there don't seem to be any more of these books. However, I am a big fan of these type of books - that being any decent Vampire books that are don't become a soap opera and stick to the action.

As with volume 1, I read this book straight through as soon as it arrived! I thought I'd read everything Katherine Kurtz wrote, but I was obviously mistaken! I love reading anything about the Knights Templar, fiction or not. I also love vampire lore and stories. I thought both books were good reads. They held my attention as I anxiously awaited the next scene. I hope there is a volume 3 to complete the trilogy. I'm going to be one disappointed reader if there's not!

Scott Macmillan under the Katherine Kurtz banner has produced a pair of excellent fantasy action/adventure novels, with a totally unique twist.The origins of vampirism given new meaning.Most entertaining reading,I really look forward to the third book in this series.

Fast paced,fun story line. Ok so it's not war and peace, who cares! the first book is about adventure. Like watching a great flick on tv.

"Knights of the Blood: At Sword's Point" is a story Of vampires. I personally like it and am waiting in expectation of Book 3 in this Comtemporary vampire series. The main character is a California Police Detective John Drummond. He's very wealthy due to a lawsuit he won for injuries to his Stuntwoman wife, who has been in a coma for several years. In this second book Drummond go home after, in book 1 discovering and befriending Knights from the crusades living in an old castle in Germany. In his promise to help them in this modern world, of which they know nothing about, He agrees to join them and be on of them and so he is Knighted. He also perform the ceremony of blood with them, but after a week decide it isn't working out, so he go home promising to return. On the way back home he wrestles a highjacker to the ground thus saving the life of a Prince onboard. When he gets home he gets Kidnapped by the Mosad, trying to find out how much he knows about what went on in Germany, and is release. He thinks that's the end until they try to gun him down. His Captain sends him out of town until they can find out why. Instead of going where they send him, he decides to hide out with his vampire friends and a Catholic Priest while things cool down. When he get there he find them suffering from severe culture shock after stepping out in the world for the first time in 700 years. To calm them down they mount a raid on a former Nazi, whose a vampire also, and his minions not knowing that they , a Mosad assasin and the Pope's own Troubleshooter are on a collegion course bloodier than they imagine.I find it exciting with a few surprises up it sleeve. This story though its characters were created by Katherine Kurtz is written by her husband Scott MacMillan. I give it a thumbs up.***
