By the Blood of Heroes - The Great Undead War: Book I

"Joe Nassise has raised the bar for the whole genre." --Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of The Dragon Factory Combine the take-no-prisoners heroic grit of Quentin Tarantino''s Inglorious Basterds with the irreverent inventiveness of George A. Romero''s 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 Kaiser''s zombie army in order to rescue a downed American flying ace in the first book of Nassise''s 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 TV''s The Walking Dead , popular literature''s World War Z , Pride and Prejudice and Zombies , and Zombie Haiku , and the Resident Evil video game and film series will eagerly devour.
