An ambitious usurper holds the Byzantine throne in the eighth century. Immediately the new Emperor Leo faces fresh attacks on Constantinople by the Saracens. A young monk witnesses the onset of a plague of walking dead, and Leo conceives of creating an army of undead to wreak havoc among the Saracens. When the plan becomes too successful, the monk responsible (albeit reluctantly) for creating the zombie soldiers must find a way to destroy them. VERDICT Munger (Giamotti in Winter) transports the popular "zombie plague outbreak" to an unusual time and place for a darkly humorous, undeniably quirky tale that should please fans of zombie fiction and alternate history. The author, who has a talent for telling strange but memorable stories, deserves a following among fans of eccentric fiction and "weird" storytelling.
