Time for a new cover reveal for the friends over at Dog Star Books. This book is steampunk/alternate history, and I'm already curious!
Odd Men Out
Fighting for survival in a post-Civil War America overrun by zombies,
Cyrus and Lucinda join a military group called the Odd Men Out, and
together they face a terrorist army from the North in a showdown over a
weapon of enormous power.
The Civil War went on far longer than anyone expected, prompting the
North and South to call a truce to fight their common enemy: The Chewers
– dead men come to life to attack the living. As a result, a
peacekeeping force called the Office of Military Operations is created
to watch over the tenuous peace.
Cyrus Joseph Spencer didn’t
fight in the war and couldn’t care less about the United Nations of
America that resulted from it. His main concern is making money and
protecting his crew from all manner of danger. To escape a horrible
tragedy, Cyrus and one of his wards, Lucinda, board a U.N. dirigible for
safety. They quickly discover their situation has not improved as the
U.N. team is chasing a group of rogue soldiers in hopes of stopping them
from obtaining a terrible weapon.
They also have to contend with
a larger threat - Drago del Vapore – a giant lizard attacking the West
Coast and wreaking havoc on everything it encounters. As the two sides
face off against each other and the huge beast, Cyrus feels more and
more like an Odd Man Out and finds it harder and harder to stay out of
the fight.
