Adam’s Children
When eighteen year old Jack Niles accidentally discovers a laptop hidden in an old church steeple, he has no idea that he’s stumbled upon evidence that threatens to expose an ancient race of vampires. After uncovering a plot to murder the wives of ex-clergy by making their deaths appear to be accidents, Jack is accused of bludgeoning a handyman and drowning a priest, who possess clues to the murders. To save himself, Jack becomes a fugitive from the police, his only resource a portable travel drive from the dead priest’s effects that he is initially unable to decipher. In search of answers, Jack discovers that vampires are his true adversaries. They are actually descendents of an ancient race of humans, originating from some of the children of Adam and Eve, who mutated into vampires millennia ago. Their survival depends upon protecting the secret that they live among the regular population, indistinguishable from the rest of humanity. In addition, they are not vulnerable to the traditional items found in legends. They have more sinister goals and pursue Jack relentlessly to recover the travel drive, trying to keep him from exposing the truth of their existence.
As Jack encounters one obstacle after another in his breakneck flight around the country, he slowly begins to understand the terrifying magnitude of the plans of the vampires, known only as the Select, and wonders if he, or anyone, can stop them.
