‘They have torn apart people I cared about. I want to know what those things are, Colonel.’
‘They are a genetic abomination — a split in man’s evolution, if you like, Keagan.’
Eddie woke up from one nightmare and entered another. Except, in this nightmare, the monsters are real.
After years of running away from his past as a medic with the SAS, Eddie Keagan’s combat experience is being put to the test again. He is recruited by the shadowy Colonel Sixsmith to guide a Third Blood combat unit through the corridors of a London hospital to hunt Bloodeaters who have fed well on the unfortunate patients and staff. Somewhere in the labyrinth of wards and rooms, the leader of the Bloodeaters is holding Eddie’s girlfriend hostage. Eddie will have to put his trust in the Third Blood Strike Team as he fights to get her back.
Across the other side of the world, a political conflict rages. The Third Blood Council, headed by President Gabriel Aquino, is preparing to elect a new member to the Council of Nine. Praetor Thoragan is one of the candidates, a deadly opponent capable of doing anything to ensure his victory — a victory Aquino will have to stop at all costs.
