Welcome, new Hellbusters! The war continues in Hell as our heroes face the first string at last in Operation Zombie, book 3 from Blood Moon Press. (Scroll down for the Blood Moon section.)
Who’s that hefting a Sherman tank at our hero? Well, Hell is down to just two generals, one of whom is Koriel, Prince of the Un-Dead. You’ll remember that’s how World War Weird got started, with the losers in World War One deciding to use vampires. Well, this is the guy that started that ball rolling … all the way downhill!
But even Shawn of the Dead can deal with a zombie or two. Up against the whole U.S. Army, Koriel figures he’ll stack a couple of thousand dead bodies together and weave them into a very big zombie with a huge reservoir of Un-life to draw on. Clark Ashton Smith did it first in The Colossus of Ylourgne, but Koriel’s going him one better. See, in Smith’s tale, there was only ONE colossus …
How’s Mick going to get out of this one? IS Mick going to get out of this one? As they say, it’s easier to get into Hell than out of it …
