SynopsisThe vampire Count Saint-Germain protects Americans fleeing persecution--and becomes trapped in a web of betrayal, deceit, and murder in post-WWII Europe in Chelsea Quinn Yarbro's SUSTENANCE The powerful House Un-American Activities Committee hunted communists both at home and abroad. In the late 1940s, the vampire Count Saint-Germain is caught up in intrigue surrounding a group of Americans who have fled to postwar Paris. Some speak out against HUAC and battle the authorities. Saint-Germain swears to do his best to protect his friends, but even his skills may not be able to stand against agents of the OSS and the brand-new CIA. And he has an unexpected weakness: his lover, Charis, who has returned to Paris under mysterious circumstances.

Such well known characters.
Well written by a professional with consistency. Of her fabulous & exotic characters, they are still alive, and time shifts around them. My heart lies with her "sisters of the night" series and still awaits the 3rd story. Ms. Yarbro is the best of the genre and All respect for her talents. Sustenance is the continued story of our"Le Compte de San Germaine". No spoilers. None. If you love be him, READ. Thank youVerified purchase: YesCondition: New
