Reseña del libro "The New Orleans Zombie Riot of 1866: And Other Jacob Smith Stories (en Inglés)"
Jacob Smith. Knight Templar. Gunslinger. Jacob, an ex-Union Bushwhacker, is a member of the Knights Templar, a secretive order dedicated to protecting mankind from demons, the supernatural, and whatever else happens to need killing. He and his brother knights aim to protect post-Civil War America at all costs. Jacob Smith and his cohort Christopher Freeman have been sent to New Orleans on the eve of the Louisiana Constitutional Convention, a possibly illegal meeting by Creoles and Freedmen to guarantee a colored man's right to suffrage, in order to meet their contact in the Pinkerton Detective Agency and secure a dangerous Voodoo artifact that inflicts "zombie-ism" on whomever it scratches. Sounds easier than rolling off a log, right? That is, until a group of ruthless ex-Confederates ambush the Templars and purloin the relic from their custody. Jacob and Christopher now must join forces with the talented Charlotte Gibson, lead agent for the Pinkerton Detective Agency's Office of the Occult, Supernatural, and Witchery, to head off the worst outbreak of "yellow fever" the United States has ever seen. With the port city quarantined by the occupying Union army, the Catholic Church begging for help exocrsing enough demon-possessed nuns to fill a small convent, and slathering hordes of infectious Afflicted ravaging the streets, rescuing new Orleans may be more than this motley trio can handle . . . Plus three more stories! "Craig Gabrysch has created a fantastic Weird Western series . . . Keep an eye out for this book from Twit Publishing." -Westernpunk - The Weird, Wicket, and Wild West
