Product Description
John Reese thought it was all over - all except for the nightmares.
As he begins his teaching career, John Reese is suddenly recalled to active duty. The strings behind the recall come from a dark governmental agency buried deep within the Pentagon as well as the American political system.
Reese learns that General Stone had additional vampires that he never knew about. But what's worse is that they have been kidnapped or stolen from the secure holding that Reese helped design. Now it is an issue of National Security because if the two young vampires fall into the wrong hands they could potentially attack those that captured them.
Reese becomes the hunter as he is watched not only by his military leaders, but by a government group known only as the Agency. He is bluntly warned that if he fails to cooperate fully in finding the vampires, he may spend the rest of his life in a military prison. As he studies the escape and those that were responsible for it, he recognizes that only one group could be responsible for it and it is the group that he has sworn to his superiors he killed as they tried to escape: The Team of Darkness.
Reese now has a double edged sword at his throat. Does he tell the General that he lied and knowingly loosened General Stone's prized vampire team on the city to feed off of the humanity that they had sworn to protect? As Reese searches for these answers he meets Christina, a mysterious and voluptuous woman that he is taken with. Their relationship follows the twists and turns that the search takes Reese on-leaving one to wonder if Reese and Christina have their own secrets that seek to reveal yet another mystery to be told.

Fine job of combining vampires and politics, Nov 15 2008
By Paul Lappen - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Operation: Save the Innocent: From the Declassified Tales of Team of Darkness (Paperback)
Part two of a series, this book is about the use of vampires as present-day US Government assassins.
In part one, John Reese ran a very high-level military program called Team of Darkness, a team of three vampires ordered to kill selected targets. Led by a vampire called Dmitri, they had little choice in the matter. Around each of their necks was a permanent metal collar filled with a serum, that, at the touch of a button, would be injected into them, and kill them slowly and painfully. At the end of the book, Reese freed the three, telling his superiors that he killed them.
In this story, a megalomaniac officer named General Stone secretly obstructed Reese's efforts to abolish the program. He has also secretly secured two young girls, a 13-year-old and her 8-year-old sister, to be his own personal assassins, with similar collars. They were turned into vampires through a Balkan (southeast Europe) equivalent of the Hatfield's and McCoy's feud. General Stone is found dead, murdered by Christina, another vampire, who could be said to have started all of this. She was found in a cave in the Balkans near the end of World War II, and was convinced to come to America.
Dmitri and his two colleagues find out about the two sisters, and break them out of a very secure military prison, the same one in which they were held. Reese, supposedly retired from the military, is forcibly recalled to active duty (by an ultra-secret agency called The Agency) with the task of finding them. The alternative is to spend the rest of his life in military prison. He also starts a "relationship" with Christina, and is unaware of her story.
This novel does a fine job of combining a vampire story with a political thriller. I am not much of a vampire novel lover, but I am very interested in reading future novels in this series.

A riveting and deftly crafted tale, Sep 3 2008
By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Operation: Save the Innocent: From the Declassified Tales of Team of Darkness (Paperback)
Young girls are supposed to play house, not assassins. "Operation: Save the Innocent: From the Declassified Files of Team Darkness" is the engaging sequel to author Tony Ruggiero's 'Operation: Immortal Servitude', a popular novel for fantasy adventure fans. Two young girls were transformed into Vampires and trained to be the best killers the world has ever known. John Reese is charged with taking them out, while faced with the specters of the past which still haunt him. "Operation: Save the Innocent" is a riveting and deftly crafted tale from beginning to end which is sure to please his fans and devotees of the action/adventure fantasy genre in general.
