Armageddon is coming, but a trio of individuals from prophecy can save us. The Woman of Learning, the Knight of Christ, and the Warrior of Man must save the world from the plotting of the immortal Judas Iscariot. What? And.... there are vampires. On both sides of the battle.
There are two books in this series, so far: Blood Gospel, and Innocent Blood. I have read many of James Rollins' Sigma Force books, which typically involve the search for some kind of mystical, historical, or scientific (if not all three) item that poses a threat to the world and civilization as we know it. I have not read anything else by Rebecca Cantrell, who apparently is best known for her historical-mystery Hannah Vogel series. In reading this I was expecting a blending of mystery, thriller, treasure hunt, and religious undertones (since so many of the great historical-mystical stories seem to involve some kind of religion to some extent). What I wasn't expecting was the undead, yet, they appeared, and were woven deeply into the mythology that Rollins and Cantrell have developed around their heroes.
Without giving too much more away, these good-vs-evil novels bring a new twist on both religious fiction as well as vampire mythology. They are fairly fast reads, and if the thought of an archaeologist, soldier, and priest teaming up to save the world excites you, then pick up Blood Gospel soon, and join the adventure.
