Blood Gospel by James Rollins and Rebecca Cantrell truly offers something for everyone. Horror, suspense, mystery, romance, history and the occult all combine to make this religious-themed thriller as read by Christian Baskous for Harper Audio an edge-of-your-seat listening experience. An ancient order called the Sanguinists - vampires who have forsaken their blood lust for service to Christ and who consume only consecrated wine - guard and protect holy relics. Archaeologist Dr. Erin Granger uncovers shocking evidence at a dig in Israel pertaining to the blood gospel, allegedly written in Christ’s blood by his own hand. Everyone from the Vatican to Rasputin to a rival sect of unholy devil worshippers wants to get their hands on the book. In a cat-and-mouse game of death and betrayal, secrets are revealed and the fate of the most powerful church in the world hangs in the balance as Erin Granger battles evil with the help of Father Rhun Korza and handsome Sergeant Jordan Stone.

James Rollins has several New York Times bestsellers to his credit; co-author Rebecca Cantrell created the Hannah Vogel mystery series and has won numerous awards for horror fiction. The result of their collaboration is a fast-paced, impeccably plotted macabre adventure that leaves readers guessing at every turn. Actor Christian Baskous has a particular gift for playing dark characters, weaving sinister gravitas into both male and female characters, and heightening the drama with each new plot twist. James Rollins and Rebecca Cantrell’s Blood Gospel is part of the Sanguines Series, which means that enthusiasts can look forward to more Sanguinist adventures as dark forces battle with vampire priests to save the world from unspeakable horrors. Blood Gospel may well continue to unfold its truths for many years to come.
