(2011)
(The second book in the Lawson Vampire Origins series)
A Novella by

 
 
An early Lawson novel that takes place before The Fixer pairs him with his old mentor Zero for an assignment in Madagascar with roots running back to World War II.

MEET LAWSON.

A cynical, wise-cracking vampire charged with protecting the Balance - the secret existence of a race of LIVING vampires that have evolved alongside humanity for thousands of years.

A FIXER.

Part-spy, and part-commando -- James Bond with fangs. Lawson mixes shrewd cunning with unmatched lethality to get his job done. He tries his best to dismantle conspiracies, dispatch bad guys, and live long enough to get home.

THE MADAGASCAR MATTER

Hitler's plan to ship Jews out of fortress Europe to the remote island nation where they would be systematically eliminated.

HJELM

A Fixer sent to infiltrate Hitler's inner cordon of supporters who ended up going over to the other side.

ZERO

The wise mentor to Lawson, one of the Service's most accomplished Fixers, paired with Lawson to head to Madagascar and put an end to Hjelm once and for all.

ESMERALDA

An Enchanter wise in the ways of sorcery and beguiling. Her skills are awesome to behold.

Journey back in time to years before THE FIXER when Lawson was still a younger Fixer agent. Join him and Zero as they make their way through the tangled conspiracies of a terrible war, a mysterious island nation, and adventures too incredible to be missed. The novel runs approximately 81,000 words.

Praise for Jon F. Merz:

"Lawson is more like Jason Bourne than Dracula, making this a vampire mystery with broad appeal." --Booklist

"A powerful novel by a man who knows the turf already." -NYT Bestselling author Robert. B. Parker

"Jon F. Merz's novels move at a break-neck pace, twisting through a landscape of thrills and terror." -- Douglas Clegg, author of The Infinite and The Priest of Blood

"...a fine stalking session in vampire-noir land...a series and talented writer I'll be sticking with all the way." -- Mort Castle, author of The Strangers and On Writing Horror

Praise for Jon F. Merz's THE KENSEI (A Lawson vampire Novel #5):

"If James Bond, True Blood and Kill Bill created a mutant hybrid of a book, it would be The Kensei. A bullet train slice 'em, dice 'em mixture of action, suspense, and vampire ninjas. Did I mention vampire ninjas?"--Jason Pinter, bestselling author of The Fury and The Darkness

"The Kensei is an action novel with real bite. Vampires, Yakuza killers, crooks and animal-monster hyrbids. Jon F. Merz brings his A-game and then ratchets it up to a whole new level of supernatural action. Highly recommended!" --Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of The Dragon Factory and Patient Zero

"In The Kensei, Jon F. Merz seamlessly welds gritty detail with myth and legend to create a thrill ride into the shadow-world lurking beneath modern Japan. Lawson's fight against evil has bone-crunching authenticity. Plus, it has vampires, ninjas, and vampire ninjas. What more could anyone ask?"--Christopher Farnsworth, author or Blood Oath
