Zombies have shown up throughout history in many forms through the years. Some were mistaken as mummies, some as religious leaders, though most were covered up by various governments as to not alert the populace that the undead do exist. Marc and Cole are two authors who are trying to bring you the truth of what happened in the past and do so while also telling an entertaining story. Parts of this will be true and parts of it will be fiction though it all sounds to prove to be a must read for anyone who wants to know more about zombies in the Napolean age.
Port of Gibraltar, 1805. When French forces steal Admiral Nelson’s body shortly after the Battle of Trafalgar, HMS Spectre is tasked with it’s recovery. Among her crew, rumors and superstitions are traded freely that Napoleon is in league with the devil and is raising an unholy army of undead. Fearing that the Emperor has designs to reanimate Admiral Nelson and gain naval superiority over England, the Spectre makes pursuit to turn the tide of war. Kipling, a convicted crewman pressed into service, embarks on the Spectre as penance for his criminal past, risking discovery that his own life is unnatural as he has twice cheated death.
