The Vampire the Masquerade Clan Novel Saga is a thirteen volume masterpiece, presenting the war between the established Camarilla leadership, and the growing power of the brutal Sabbat on the east coast of the United States. Each novel is told from the persepective of one of the thirteen clans, intertwining with the others, and filling in missing pieces artfully as we follow battle after battle, intrigue after intrigue-and the appearance of a strange artifact that falls into the hands of a solitary Toreador sculptor. Clan Novel Ventrue is the fifth in the series. War rages among the children of the night. The monstrous vampires of the Sabbat ravage the East Coast from Savannah to Washington, D.C. Camarilla princes who ruled for centuries are ashes on the wind, burning cities the only witnesses to their passing.Elders of the Camarilla call on Jan Pieterzoon, Ventrue childe of privilege, to turn the tide of battle. To succeed in his task, he must navigate a minefield of shifting alliances, where tonight's co-conspirator is tomorrow's enemy. If Jan can survive his friends, he might just have a chance against the Sabbat.This series is a monumental, 13-novel exploration of the forbidden world of the Kindred. What began in Clan Novel: Toreador continues here, and its ending will determine the fate of every human-and inhuman-being in the world.… (plus d'informations)

As the continuation of the Clan Novel series from White Wolf, this book focuses on the Venture clan as the Sabbat war in the cities up and down the Eastern Seaboard of the United States. This book focuses on Baltimore and its population of undead.
Not being a huge fan of the vampire role playing games that White Wolf produces, I may have gone into reading this book with a jaded mind. There is a focus on politics, on personal advancement at the expense of others, that feeds itself through out the book. Part of the plot focuses on one vampire trying to take control. Not my enjoyment, either in my regular life or my reading life. I did know the clans and terms that the author used, so it helped me follow the book better than someone who picked it up without any of the game system background.
From a writer's standpoint, the author does well to attempt to stay within a point of view per chapter. He fails on several ocassions, where we wil get the thoughts or mental ramblings of another in the middle of the chapter POV character's ramblings. Also with the writing, the author seemed to go for a more high brow style, to reflect the opinions of the vampires that it tracked. I might have agreed with the choices, had he reduced the high brow language for the other chapters not following the snooty vampires.
Overall, if you are a fan of the Old world of darkness, I can recommend it. Otherwise not. ( )
