Operation: Save the Innocent
by Tony Ruggiero
John Reese thought it was all over — all except for the nightmares.
As he begins his teaching career, John Reese is suddenly recalled to active duty. The strings behind the recall come from a dark governmental agency buried deep within the Pentagon as well as the American political system.
Reese learns that General Stone had additional vampires that he never knew about. But what’s worse is that they have been kidnapped or stolen from the secure holding that Reese helped design. Now it is an issue of National Security because if the two young vampires fall into the wrong hands they could potentially attack those that captured them.
Reese becomes the hunter as he is watched not only by his military leaders, but by a government group known only as the Agency. He is bluntly warned that if he fails to cooperate fully in finding the vampires, he may spend the rest of his life in a military prison. As he studies the escape and those that were responsible for it, he recognizes that only one group could be responsible for it and it is the group that he has sworn to his superiors he killed as they tried to escape: The Team of Darkness.
Reese now has a double edged sword at his throat. Does he tell the General that he lied and knowingly loosened General Stone’s prized vampire team on the city to feed off of the humanity that they had sworn to protect? As Reese searches for these answers he meets Christina, a mysterious and voluptuous woman that he is taken with. Their relationship follows the twists and turns that the search takes Reese on—leaving one to wonder if Reese and Christina have their own secrets that seek to reveal yet another mystery to be told.
