EVERY LAST DROP: A NOVEL
Book ID/图书代码: 01240008B22455
English Summary/英文概要: It’s like this: a series of bullet-riddled bad breaks has seen rogue Vampyre and terminal tough guy Joe Pitt go from PI for hire to Clan-connected enforcer to dead man walking in a New York minute. And after burning all his bridges, the only one left to cross leads to the Bronx, where Joe’s brass knuckles and straight razor can’t keep him from running afoul of a sadistic old bloodsucker with a bad bark and a worse bite. Even if every Clan in Manhattan is hollering for Joe’s head on a stick, it’s got to be better than trying to survive in the outer-borough wilderness.
So it’s a no-brainer when Clan boss Dexter Predo comes looking to make a deal. All Joe has to do to win back breathing privileges on his old turf is infiltrate an upstart Clan whose plan to cure the Vyrus could expose the secret Vampyre world to mortal eyes and set off a panic-driven massacre. Not cool. But Joe’s all over it. To save the Undead future, he just has to wade neck-deep through all the archenemies, former friends, and assorted heavy hitters he’s crossed in the past. No sweat? Maybe not, but definitely more blood than he’s ever seen or hungered for. And maybe even some tears–over the horror and heartbreaking truth about the evil men do no matter who or what they are.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 经历了一系列血腥屠杀后,吸血一族最终不得已,只得请硬汉乔·皮特立刻去去纽约城处决一个死人。在桥下烧完了所有的东西之后,只剩下布朗克斯区,在那里乔的指节铜套和把直形剃刀不能阻止他与一个嗜血成性的老吸血鬼相斗。即使曼哈顿的每一个吸血鬼都希望乔的头颅能插在木桩上,这总要要比在外区野外挣扎求生要强。
所以血族的老板德克斯特·普雷多想要做成一笔交易是易如反掌的事。乔要做的就是拿回自己在老地盘上的特权,深入自命不凡的氏族不想被凡人看穿,引发恐慌性大屠杀的治愈 Vyrus 的计划中去。这可不是一件轻松的活。为了确保不死一族的未来,乔已经使尽浑身解数,他不得不出手相助,为了所有的魔鬼、以前的朋友,他曾经服务过的显要人物。毫不费力?或许不是,但肯定有他曾经见过的或渴望过更多的血源。甚至一些眼泪 — — 那些关于邪恶的人或事的可怕真相。(Sandy)

“In conceiving his world (a New York City divided by vampire clans, each with different reasons to hate Pitt), Huston gives a fading genre a fresh afterlife. [Grade:] A.”--–Entertainment Weekly
“[Huston] creates a world that is at once supernatural and totally familiar, imaginative, and utterly convincing.”--–The Philadelphia Inquirer
