Remember the good old days when author’s books would get picked up for movie adaptations because the book was popular. Well not wanting to wait for public opinion Blood Oath (a book about political espionage and vampires) is being adapted to the big screen.
Blood Oath centers on a vampire captured by the U.S. Army just after the Civil War who is forced to swear an oath to President Andrew Johnson and has protected the presidency in the Secret Service for nearly 150 years. In the story, the vampire, named Nathaniel Cade, is paired with a new human handler and finds himself embroiled in a plot involving a monstrous new form of biological weapon with a connection to the White House.
And just in case you are wondering about this novel that is so good its getting an adaptation… its out on Tuesday.
And Foster has picked up the rights to the followup book as well.
I will have to see what this looks like before I make assumptions.
Could be epic.
Could be not.
