In 2010, David McAfee published his award-winning debut novel, 33 A.D., about vampires in Biblical Jerusalem. The book quickly became a top Kindle seller, even making it to #1 on the UK Horror Bestseller List. 33 A.D. has sold tens of thousands of copies and has been optioned for film by a production company in Hollywood. 61 A.D. and 79 A.D. continue the amazing story of these ancient vampires as they fight their way through history.
33 A.D.: The vampires of the era have long sought to gain a foothold into Israel, but the faith of the local Jewish population has held them in check for centuries. When one of their own betrays them to follow a strange young rabbi from Galilee, the elders of the vampire race dispatch Theron, a nine hundred year old assassin, to kill them both. The rabbi's name is Jesus. Killing him should be easy.
61 A.D.: For ten years, Taras has lived in the young city of Londinium, feeding off the city's underbelly. But now Theron, his old enemy, has come looking for revenge, and Taras' nights of living in relative peace are about to end. Set against the backdrop of the Iceni uprising in Roman-era Britannia, 61 A.D. continues the story of Taras, Theron, and Ramah.
79 A.D.: Taras and Theron have come to a distant but steady peace. One roams the Spanish countryside, while the other practices his dark arts in a cave on Mt. Vesuvius. Over the last two decades, neither has thought much about the other. But Baella, the ancient renegade, wishes to change that. Through her treachery, they will be reunited, but not even Baella can stop the coming cataclysm.
Reviews/Blurbs:
"David McAfee's 33 AD is a bloody thrill-ride through biblical Jerusalem that pits Jesus Christ against vampire assassins. What's not to like? 33 AD is a kick-ass, violent and highly-imaginative tale that you should be downloading to your Kindle *right now*."
Lee Goldberg, #1 NYT bestselling author of MY GUN HAS BULLETS, The JURY series, and the MONK series.
"33 A.D. by David McAfee is a wildly original, non-stop pulse pounder that tells the story of a vampire assassin whose mission is to kill Jesus of Nazareth. In a genre mired by cliche stories, this stands out as something bold and new."
Jeremy Robinson, author of Pulse and Instinct
"David McAfee's 33 A.D. is a truly compelling and unique perspective on the events surrounding the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. With all the skill of a seasoned novelist, McAfee's thriller brings a melange of riveting characters, otherworld mythology, and political intrigue together in one fascinating read - a tautly paced winner on all levels."
Jon F. Merz, author of the Lawson Vampire novels & Parallax
"This story is an action-packed thriller, filled with mystery, intrigue, betrayal and murder. The attention to detail and careful plotting are masterfully done. You'd never guess this was David McAfee's first novel."

"When compared to other vampire stories out there, 33 A.D. carves its own niche."
Dark Wyrm Reads
"...a fun, bloody addition to vampire lore...these vampires are brutish, bloody, murderous monsters. Look for sex and sparkles elsewhere."
David Dalglish, bestselling author of the Shadowdance series
"61 A.D. starts off fast and doesn't slow down for a minute, with new characters and wildly intriguing twists that will have McAfee fans screaming for the next volume. Highly recommended."
