Immortal Blood

A DESIRE BEYOND REASON As a vampire, Elijah Pike (alias Roger Neimann) has been a slave to instinct-consuming human blood to satisfy an unquenchable thirst. As a doctor, he relies on his intellect in the pursuit of a cure that will end not only his craving but also the deadly urges of others like him. AN APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION Master vampire Michael Morpheus's last encounter with Elijah Pike, in the Louisiana bayou, left him disfigured and consumed by hatred for those he considers traitors to the race. He went underground to lick his wounds-and to gather an army of evil that will follow him in his quest for vengeance. A CALL TO ARMS Pike knows that the fate of innocent mortals depends upon his victory in a battle against his own kind-one in which no mercy can be shown. Now, in the frozen wilderness of the Canadian Rockies, he'll face Morpheus once more-and the snow will be stained with blood . . . "If you read one horror book this year, read this one!" -William W.
