The zombie apocalypse
meets World War One in this exciting prequel story to BY THE BLOOD OF
HEROES, book one in the Great Undead War series!
March 1921. The
War to End All Wars continues, with no foreseeable end in sight. The
Central Powers control most of Europe, with only a thin stretch of
French coastline still in Allied hands. A beleaguered Britain fights
resolutely on, but everyone knows that without the continued support of
the United States it would fall within weeks. Even that may not be
enough to defeat the brilliance of the Central Powers' scientists and
the advantages their advanced weapons give their troops as wave after
wave of zombie soldiers are sent against the Allied front lines...
On May 1st, 2012 HarperVoyager released BY THE BLOOD OF HEROES, the first
book in the new zombie steampunk alternate history series known as The
Great Undead War by internationally bestselling author Joseph Nassise.
Here, for the first time, is the story behind the story. Follow the hero of
The Great Undead War series, Captain Michael "Madman" Burke, leader of
Burke's Marauders, in the early days of the war, when the Germans are
just beginning their field tests of a new weapon.
A weapon that
will eventually come to change the face of the war itself, that will
resurrect the bodies of the dead, both friend and foe alike, and turn
them into flesh-eating monsters. A weapon that will come to be known as
corpse gas.
