At the end of 1917, the increasingly desperate Germans introduce a new
gas to the battlefield: T-Leiche — “corpse gas” — that radically alters the
face of the war. Ulike other chemical weapons that attack the living,
T-Leiche resurrects the bodies of the dead, giving the enemy an almost
unlimited, if not quite fresh, source of troops.
When legendary
Allied pilot and war poster-boy Major Jack Freeman is shot down and
taken captive by the Germans, veteran Captain Michael “Madman” Burke is
the only man fearless and wild enough to try to rescue the American Ace. With a small squad of heroes — his right-hand man Sergeant Moore, Clayton Manning, the filthy rich big-game hunter turned soldier, and professor
Dan Richards, Tesla protege and the resident authority on all things
supernatural — Burke must traverse the putrid ground of no man’s land to
infiltrate the enemy’s lines.
Using an experimental drilling
vehicle, the team faces incredible danger and finds risk and peril at
every turn, including ruthless traitor smugglers and marauding bands of
the Kaiser’s undead. But only when they arrive at the prison camp is the true importance of their mission unveiled.
Now, they just have to get back to their own trenches — if they can stay undead, that is.
