Arab kidnappers, immortal Aztecs, assorted drug-runners, Nazi millionaires, an ancient evil, the Japanese space program, the reality of Genesis 6, and true love. For Special Forces Lieutenant and newly-fledged vampire Megan Collolly, true love is the hard part. The rest is doable.

Farrell Gray, Megan's college roommate and fellow athlete left the Army when Megan was transferred into the No Collateral Damage units. Immortality, incredible strength, and lightning healing powers cannot compensate Megan for that loss. Admitting love is difficult, but she is running out of alternatives. She and Farrell must be back together.

Her commander, Colonel John Tierney, over a century old, has his own lost love to fine, and he readily sees his Lieutenant's problem. With his encouragement, love finds a way.

The hard part done, crime must be thwarted, evil vanquished, and half-century-old wrongs righted. Justice will be served.

Tartare, of course.
