By the Blood of Heroes: The Great Undead War: Book I by Joseph Nassise (English)

Description: By the Blood of Heroes by Joseph Nassise 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. Unlike 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. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description "Joe Nassise has raised the bar for the whole genre." —Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of The Dragon FactoryCombine the take-no-prisoners heroic grit of Quentin Tarantinos Inglorious Basterds with the irreverent inventiveness of George A. Romeros Dawn of the Dead, set it on the blood-and-gore-soaked European battlefields of World War One, and you get By the Blood of Heroes, a wildly imaginative alternate history zombie novel by acclaimed urban fantasy author Joseph Nassise. When the German high command employs a terrible new chemical weapon that reanimates the dead, Allied forces must take on the Kaisers zombie army in order to rescue a downed American flying ace in the first book of Nassises The Great Undead War saga. By the Blood of Heroes is a deliciously gruesome adventure that horror and alternate history lovers, steampunk aficionados, and fans of such zombie-centric offerings as TVs The Walking Dead, popular literatures World War Z, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, and Zombie Haiku, and the Resident Evil video game and film series will eagerly devour. Notes An alternate history zombie novel set during WWI, where the Germans are able to resurrect dead bodies to help their cause. Back Cover Train them . . . Arm them . . . Then turn them loose on the zombies! At the tail end of 1917, the Germans introduced a new type of gas to the battlefield, T-Leiche, or "corpse gas," and changed the face of the war by resurrecting the bodies of the dead, giving the enemy an almost unlimited source of fresh troops. When the American ace Major Jack Freeman--poster boy for the war against the Kaisers undead army of shamblers--is downed over enemy lines and taken captive, veteran Captain Michael "Madman" Burke is the only man brave and foolish enough to accept the mission to recover Freeman. Burke assembles a team of disparate members, from his right-hand man, Sergeant Moore, to big-game-hunter-turned-soldier Clayton Manning, who funds the mission for an opportunity to confront this most dangerous zombie game, to professor Dan Richards, one of Teslas top men and the resident authority on all things supernatural. With the help of a highly advanced British dirigible war machine to infiltrate enemy territory, the team faces incredible danger as it struggles to reach the prison camp and strike at the heart of the enemy. But they are pitted against the most deadly enemy of all: Manfred von Richthofen, the Red Baron. Having risen from the dead with his abilities enhanced but his mind on the brink of madness, Richthofen has plans for victory that give no quarter to soldiers or civilians.
