I usually avoid books about vampires, but I did enjoy the previous novel in the series, so I thought I'd give it a try. Mixing vampire lore with history, everything from the Roanoke colony, Jack the Ripper, Rasputin, WWII and the Kennedy assasination, it tells of Englishman Henry Struges who comes to America before it was a country and ends up helping the nation fight off various vampire and human enemies.
