Blood Riders
In 1874, on a lonely Wyoming hillside Captain Jonas Hollister is in command of a search party trying to locate a lost party of settlers. Just as dawn is about to break, they find the settlers murdered. By a Lakota raiding party. Or so it seems. For when Hollister and his men enter the camp looking for evidence, they are set upon by the settlers, who suddenly return to life. And the undead pioneers are not alone, for with them is a group of creatures who are men but not men, powerful, fast, incredibly strong and with a thirst for human blood.
All but Hollister are brutally and savagely killed. He is saved by the rising sun, which drives these mysterious creatures away carrying the bodies of his murdered platoon with them. When he reports what happens, no one believes him. With no evidence to support his story, he is court-martialed and thrown in Leavenworth prison.
Nearly five years later, Hollister is summoned to the warden’s office and told he has a visitor. He is shocked to find it is the famed detective Allan Pinkerton. Pinkerton comes to Hollister for information and an offer. These creatures are killing again and the son of a powerful politician has witnessed the carnage and survived just as Hollister did. He won’t stop talking and the government wants these things hunted down and killed. Find them. Kill them, Pinkerton tells him, and you’ll receive a full pardon.
With several conditions that leave Pinkerton no other choice but to agree, Hollister heads west from Leavenworth with fellow former inmate, Sergeant Major Chee, a mixed-race enigma of a man who brings a unique set of skills to the hunt. Unjustly accused of murder, Chee gladly follows Hollister on his quest. Accompanied by Dog, his giant mutt who roamed the countryside around the prison for nineteen months waiting for Chee to be set free.
Pinkerton has given the two men everything they need in a specially equipped train, uniquely outfitted with weapons and materials to protect them from the supernatural. Before they depart on their perilous journey they are given a lesson in the nature of their prey by a strange man from Amsterdam, Dr. Abraham Van Helsing. Hollister and Chee learn that Van Helsing, Pinkerton and several other men around the world are part of a secret society that has tracked, fought and studied the supernatural for centuries.
From Leavenworth to Denver, to the high mountains of Colorado, Hollister and Chee search for the creatures. But there is more to the story as they soon encounter a woman like the creatures Hollister fought and now hunts. She claims she is after the leader of this rogue band of her race, creatures known as the Archaics. For centuries they lived in seclusion, high in the mountains of Europe. Now she must stop him at all costs, or her people, vastly outnumbered by the human race, will be destroyed.
She knows their habits. She can fight like ten men. And she is incredibly beautiful. Hollister realizes bringing her into their circle could mean their death and Chee is against it. Who is right? Who will live and who will die? Which of them can untangle the web of lies and deceit allayed against them? With non-stop action, steam-punk thrills, romance and did I mention the non-stop action? What will happen to these three unlikely heroes?
