"It's the 8th century A.D. and the Byzantine Empire has got problems. A ruthless schemer has just overthrown the emperor and taken the crown for himself. The Saracen army is attacking Constantinople. Only one thing could make these problems look petty by comparison: an invasion of undead, flesh-eating zombies. One young monk has witnessed the horror of the zombies and lived to tell the tale. When the new emperor hears of the danger, he hatches a wild plan. He puts the young monk in charge of creating an army of zombies to defeat the invaders. But it's not that easy to control the living dead.."--P. [4] of cover.… (más)

This book is hilarious and campy- yes, the characters talk and think like they're living in the past few decades, but that only made it more fun. The writing is quite good, and I had many guffaws; lots of gross-out humor too- it IS a zombie novel, after all. I was a Greek major, and I'm still in the ancient history field, and aside from the dialogue, the cultural references to 8th century Byzantium are not that far off. Highly recommended if you'd like a break from serious reading and want to take a detour into some well-written wit and humor about the Middle Ages. (

I must say, this was quite the page-turner. If you don't mind that all the characters from the Middle Ages think and talk like characters from the 21st century, you're in for a rollicking ride. A word to the wise, though: although there is definite suspense here, the terror side of the story really isn't there. This book is much more funny than it is scary.

(A word to the wise: the author is a friend of mine, and he gave me the book. But it was just a gift and he didn't ask me to review it, favorably or otherwise.) (
