The UnknownWorld is about to suffer change. For a thousand years, it has felt stifled by Michael’s strictures, the rules they must follow on pain of death. As the first and most powerful vampire in existence, he has the power to keep the power struggles under the radar from the rest of humanity. Unfortunately that is changing.Someone has found the serum to make intelligent nosferatu, a type of … nosferatu, a type of vampire little better than blood sucking beasts who can change the power struggle significantly. Michael thought this serum safely lost in the bombing of Japan in 1945.
The third effort to overturn Michael’s decrees is about to take place, the problem is Michael is tired. After a thousand years of fighting and keeping the peace with his Family, the Unforsaken and the known supernaturals he is world weary and ready to sleep a final time.
He needs to find a way to bring another to take his place, someone with the will and desire to make a difference. He finds Bethany Anne.
The daughter of a General, she excels were others fear to go. She accepts the offer but doesn’t realize she won’t be transformed like any other vampire in history, even Michael. The problem? Even he didn’t realize exactly how he was transformed and it completely throws the understanding of vampires and why they were created out the window.
When she wakes up, nothing is going to go like she thought. The UnkownWorld is going to change, it just doesn’t know whose beat they will dance to, yet.

This is the first in a series of 13 books, so far, and for someone who loves vampires, scifi, romance, and doesn’t mind a lot of swearing, this is a series I would recommend to anyone. This series, The Kurtherian Gambit, is a series that i have read and re-read more than once and each time I read them it gets better and better. I can’t wait til the next one comes out.
Great world building, hard to put down.
This is an awesome series! The first book gives you a lot of detail so be patient, it is so worth it! I have read straight through the series. Dying woman becomes super vampire out to save the world! Cannot recommend this series highly enough! Intrigue, espionage, romance…. has a little bit of everything. Well done Michael Anderle!
i love this series, and there all inter connected with the one I’m reading with Justin Sloan
An absolutely amazing first book to start off a series. A completely different take on the world of the supernatural. With a kick ass leader and a band of followers that would die for her, she takes the roles she’s given and forges it to her will. an excellent combining of two genres – science fiction and supernatural – done exceedingly well. throw in the bits of comedy and you and up with a near perfect read.
I love the different take on werewolves and vampires.
Death Becomes Her (The Kurtherian Gambit #1) by Michael Anderle is a very interesting and exciting book. I enjoyed it. A military gal, grown up under a military family, finds she has only 6 months to live, has a chance to live but has to work for the ones that help her. Those are vampires. Those vampires are working for the government. Only a few know. Pretty cool story.
Loved it!
I have read a LOT of supernatural based books. I was expectng the vampires and the weres, but then you meet the alien… Warning, this series was addictive!
I really didn’t know if I was gonna bust a gut laughing. The book gives a new twist to the paranormal. Not too many authors will mix a genre as well as Michael Anderle does. He has a very good grasp of military actions and maneuvers. All in all this book and the series that follows is one of the best series I have read to date. It kept me on the edge of my seat. The characters all have distinct personalities and very strong ones. Very well put together along with some of the most creative language expressions I have ever read.
I was hooked on the first page! Answers has built a universe that is both realistic and futuristic. The characters are engaging, likable or despicable, and just plain fun. There is some rough language but it is always funny as hell
Bethany Ann is a great character, Michael Anderle broke the mold with this book. I couldn’t put it or the rest of the series down.
If you’re looking for something different in the urban fantasy/vampire/scifi genres, this is it! I don’t read much scifi anymore, but I got hooked and whipped right through this long series.
This is the first in a long line of great books! I picked this book thinking it was a regular but good vampire book. I was ever so glad to find I was wrong! It’s anything but your regular vampire story and a whole lot of entertaining fun, with a different and fresh approach to the vampire story! And the series just keeps getting better and better with every book!
This is just the first book in a wonderful series. I binge read all 20 book in this series and then all the companion books. I laughed, I cried. I was so totally immersed in this story that I never wanted it to end. I want to join Bethany Anne, Michael, Tabitha, John and the rest of “the Bitches” and take on the universe!
Read this series. Period. I made the mistake of reading a couple chapters and thinking, “eh” because there’s a bit of foundation laying. The chapters are enjoyable, but didn’t immediately grab me. Then, I set the book aside for like a year or so. Picked it back up and found myself blowing through this (currently) 21 book series and then looking for other books to read by this author. It’s not for folks with delicate sensibilities that don’t like profane language. The vulgar language is entirely integral to the characters and hilarious to boot.
I loved it! A whole new take on vampires. The story contains elements of sci fi, paranormal, military, and spy novels. What’s amazing is it manages to blend them all into a cohesive whole. The story has non stop action, a kick ass, no holds barred heroine, and some very interesting and unusual characters. I finished it wanting more so I definitely plan on reading the rest of the series. If this sounds like your thing, try it out. You won’t be sorry.
Took a chance on another “vampire story” and was so glad I did.
It’s not your typical supernatural story. The world that Mr. Anderle has created is so much like our own yet so very much more.
The characters are easy to like, and the storytelling is amazing. I’m bad at reviews, however, this series, and every off shoot book related to it, are more than worth the time you will invest in reading them.
My highest recommendation is that I will reread a book. I will reread this entire series, happily.
Amazing series! Hard to put down-live the characters and world building
I am so glad I found this book! It and the series are great! I love it when I find a new(to me) author who has so many great books for me to read!!!
