Always a Samurai — D.C. Rhind

CSIS wants Mike to go to Afghanistan and rescue a missing agent. So does a mysterious vampire. The CIA and MI6 are willing to lend a hand, but things aren't what they seem and Michael is becoming increasingly suspicious. Twice his life has been saved by an infusion of vampire blood, but was it a blessing or a curse? In the heat and stress of Afghanistan and Uzbekistan, Mike's vampire traits seem to be increasing. How much time does he have left as a human? The quest for the missing agent leads uncovers a group that is kidnapping women who are sold into slavery, leading Mike to a face-to-face meeting with a character right out of history and legend.
