Battle Lines
James Bond meets Dracula in these deliriously addictive action books
Department 19 is still trying to recover from evil vampire Valeri Rusmanov’s deadly attack on their base. Teenage operator Jamie Carpenter is tasked with training up a new squad, at the same time that he’s trying to rehabilitate the damaged, guilt-ridden Frankenstein.
Then comes a coordinated global attack on a number of maximum security prisons and hospitals - with the already dangerous inmates now on the loose as vampires. One of the released inmates has a deep connection to Department 19 and embarks on a quest that threatens to expose the existence of vampires to the public. And with each day that passes, the regenerated Dracula gets stronger, bringing Zero Hour closer. It’s always darkest before dawn...
In this third installment of the epic Department 19 series, Will Hill delivers higher - and sharper - stakes than ever before.
