When Sovereign Solomon Nemamiah lay dying on a beach
under an overturned vehicle with his fiancé helplessly sobbing next to him, he
made a vow to himself that he would refuse to stay in some arbitrary
afterlife. He silently promised to return and finish what he
started with The Order of the Black Swan and the love of his
life. When the new Sovereign of Jefferson Unit begins saying
and doing things that remind people of Sol, it raises suspicion
in the minds of people who were closest to him.
The mutated and more aggressive strain of vampire
virus surges back to the forefront of The Order’s priorities forcing retirees
to be recalled and trainees to be inducted earlier than ever before.
Meanwhile, The Order sends Z Team with its
newest member, Glendennon Catch, to escort new recruit, Dr. Mercedes
Renaux, to Bulgaria. Her mission is to shut down and investigate
an archeological site that may contain irrefutable evidence that vampire
exist. Their mission is to protect her.

EXCERPT #1
Kay gave Storm an amused look. “In some ways this feels
more familiar than watching TV with my wife. ”
They were separating from Ram and Rev, going
opposite ways in an alley. Storm looked back over his shoulder at Ram
and Rev walking away. On a whim he called out, “Sol!” Without hesitation, Rev turned
and said, “Yeah?”
The four of them stood frozen, Storm and Rev staring at
each other, Kay and Ram looking back and forth between the two. Let it never be
said that Ram didn’t know how to handle a situation delicately. “What the fuck,
Stormy?”
“You know, that’s a good question, Ram. And well put.”
Storm didn’t take his eyes off Rev.
“Something you want to tell us.”
Rev pursed his lips before growling. “No.”
“You sure?”
“You gone hard of hearing?”
Storm’s gaze was a concentrated challenge, pinning Rev in
place, but he moved in close enough for quiet conversation.
“How about clueing us in, brother,” Kay was as calm as
the eye of a hurricane as he nudged Storm. “What’s going on here?”
“Has it seemed to you that there are things about the new
Sovereign that seem familiar? Eerily so?”
“Like what?” Ram asked as he eyed Rev from top to
bottom.
“Oh, like the fact that he smokes the same brand of
Turkish cigars that Sol used to smoke. And lights them with an old school fluid
lighter. Then he puts the lighter down in front of him and turns it around and
around the same way Sol used to.” Kay turned his attention toward Rev and
began regarding him with increased interest. “How about the way he screws
up his mouth when he’s aggravated or the way he steeples his fingers when he’s
making a decision?”
Rev lifted his chin in defiance and narrowed his
eyes at Storm. “And let’s not forget the fact that he took a bead on Farnsworth
about thirty seconds after arriving Jefferson Unit. Doesn’t it strike you as a
little strange that he handles Sol’s job like he knows what he’s doing? No. Not
like he knows what he’s doing. Like he’s done it before!”
Ram eased around in front of Rev so that the three
veteran members of B Team appeared united as the inquisitors they had just
become. They stood in a dimly lit alley with accusation hanging in the air,
waiting for Rev to answer.
“Your imagination’s just got the better of you, Sir
Storm.”
“There! Right there. I never met another knight who
called me Sir Storm. But Sol did.” Storm glanced at Kay. “All the time.
Called me Mr. Storm when I was a kid. Switched to Sir Storm when I was
inducted.” He stepped closer to Rev. “When I called Sol’s name, you turned
around like you’d been answering to that name your whole life.”
Ram and Kay were giving Rev looks that said the
questions weren’t going to go away just by staring Storm down.
Finally Rev replied with the cool of an iceberg.
“So what are you saying? Exactly? That I’m a body
snatcher?”
“What I’m doing right now is asking questions.”
“I don’t have answers for you.”
“NO!” Rev’s answer was a little too forceful and a little
too quick.
“Start talking.” Rev blew out a breath and
looked around at the alley.
”Let’s go sit down somewhere private.” He ran a hand
through his hair. “I’ll buy a round of drinks and tell you a story. Not about
me mind you. A story about a guy I heard of.”
