Synopsis

When the American ace Major Jack Freeman—poster boy for the war against the Kaiser's undead army of shamblers—is shot down over enemy lines and taken captive, veteran Captain Michael "Madman" Burke is the only man brave and foolish enough to accept the mission to recover him. Burke assembles a team of disparate members—his right-hand man, Sergeant Moore, big-game-hunter-turned-soldier Clayton Manning, and Professor Dan Graves, one of Tesla's top men and the resident authority on all things supernatural, among them—to dare the impossible. With the help of a highly advanced British dirigible war machine used to infiltrate enemy territory, the team will face incredible danger as it struggles to reach the prison camp and strike at the heart of the enemy.

Pitted against them is the most deadly enemy of all: Manfred von Richthofen, the Red Baron. Having risen from the dead with his physical abilities enhanced but his mind on the brink of madness, Richthofen has plans for victory that give no quarter to soldiers or civilians alike.

And he has plans for Major Freeman . . .

Goodreads review by Tad on May 06, 2012

Steampunk, alternate history WWI, fighting the Kaiser’s zombies, oh, don’t forget the Bloody Dead Baron...what’s not to like? The answer is not much in the first volume of Joseph Nassise’s The Great Undead War. By the Blood of Heroes is the first volume and it kicks the series off to a great start. T......more

You may also read my review here: [URL not allowed] First of all, this book was crazy fun. I’ll admit, I’m not usually a fan of WWI, WWII, or, for that manner, any war stories, but I’m a big fan of Joseph Nassise’s, and I was certainly game to give it a go. Turns out I didn’t h......more

Goodreads review by Brenda on June 19, 2017

By the Blood of Heroes hits heavily in two major focal points: we have the military drama, and then we have the science fiction portion with zombies. The author married these two points admirably, in a way that seemed both plausible and action-packed. The way the Germans were creating the shamblers......more
