I liked the fact that there are good and bad characters on both sides peace is clearly the objective not outright victory for the 'good guys'. There is a good cast of characters who are for the most part likable, they are also well designed and distinctive so you are unlikely to be left wondering who is who. This is an enjoyable series with interesting stories and some good, but not overly gory, action. Over the course of the series they must deal with both Methusulans, not all of whom are bad, and intrigue within the Vatican. The protagonists are part of the Vatican's struggle for peace and include Abel Nightroad, an apparently clumsy priest who is in fact a 'Crusnik' a powerful creature that even vampires fear and Sister Esther Blanchett. A third group, the mysterious 'Rosen Kreuz Order' intends to end the peace for reasons which aren't immediately apparent. Nine hundred years later there is a fragile peace between the two sides humanity is led by the Vatican and the Methuselah's have an empire based in what was Istanbul. In the far future there was a war between humanity and a race known as Methuselah also called 'vampires' as the feed on human blood.
