The Fall of London: A Victorian Zombie Novel (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781491293119)

London. 1885. Lieutenant William Cooper has just returned from the war against the Mahdi in Africa. At the same time, a ship is towed into the London dockyards harboring a deadly secret, its deck littered with corpses. Before long Cooper, an elderly doctor, and a beautiful widow find themselves in the middle of a bloodbath as a demonic plague spreads throughout the city, destroying everything and everyone in its path. The trio must fight their way out of the burning chaos of London and seek refuge in the English countryside. Dogging their trail is Sergeant Jeremiah Finch, a brutal, depraved soldier with a score to settle with his former commander. What they all find is something far more horrifying than the hordes of the undead following them. From the theaters of the Strand to the Castles of Suffolk, from the tropical beauty of the Caribbean to the Houses of Parliament, from the Isle of Dogs to Buckingham Palace, madness descends upon the world and the driving motivation for all is the simplest human instinct- STAY ALIVE A kinetic tale of adventure and horror, "The Fall of London" is a thrilling, terrifying journey through a bloody alternate history of Britain.
