I fought against him myself at one point and I'm still not certain he was ever really a man and not some figment we all just imagined when we needed a hero or a monster.

Tiny Jones didn't know me from Adam. He walked into where they were keeping me and he put down a list with my name on it. When they wouldn't let me go, he killed them and fought his way out with me under his arm. I lived the rest of my life free because he demanded my freedom. I know he is controversial and some people don't believe in him, but I know. Some saviors go as a lamb to the slaughter; some come in like the lion and bring the slaughter. -Samson Samples, The Trial of Abbott Caradog Jay Wilburn manages to take us on an epic ride of horror . . . only the horror doesn't get in the way of seeing into what remains of the humanity. I loved this book. I loved the characters in this book. I loved Jay's style and grace with which he handles what lesser writers would have turned into a hack and slash fest of one-liners and bad puns. Jay's a class act and it shines through in his writing. Read The Dead Song Legend Dodecology or you're dead to the world of fine post apocalyptic literature. -Jack Wallen, author of the I Zombie series.

This land has seen more than its share of blood. The soil has drunk it up in battles and from the deadly hunger of the undead. Brothers and sisters have fallen in the fights seen here, including my own, and we honor them by remembering what happened here, but also by moving past it. I want to include Tiny Jones in that memory. He is the stuff of legend now, bigger than his physical stature, but he was also a real man with a real life. He was here and I knew him. I saw what he did with my own eyes. Even by my own witness, it seems too fantastic to believe. He may well have saved us all from ourselves and from the zombies.-Senator Brokenoak, Maggie Valley Reconciliation Conference

In a Cairo that Never Was and Never Will Be, there are a thousand stories to tell. As ornithopters flit and flutter about overhead, their shadows fall across the ancient, stone forms of the Sphinx and the Great Pyramids. Mad professors wage secret wars by night with mechanical assassins, while societies, secret and ancient, struggle against one another with cunning and magic, with poison and cold, hard steel. Sky smugglers, lovers, air pirates and spies seek rendezvous unseen and undisturbed, as jewel thieves and tomb robbers ply their dangerous trades. Bounty hunters stalk their criminal prey while defiant rebels meet with black-market arms dealers to trade gold for the guns, powder and clockwork soldiers they need to continue their struggles. The mercantile and warrior airships of the Great Powers float lazily overhead while their sea-going sisters traverse the Canal. Airshipmen on leave partake of liquor and hashish in smoke-filled caf s only to wake to find themselves conscripted by Barbary air pirates. Meanwhile, behind closed doors, their breasts adorned with henna and perfume, pagan priestesses frolic and twirl in frenetic, Bacchanalian rites, sharing their flesh in sensual revels to the goddess Bast far from the accusatory gaze of a fanatical Mohammedan priesthood. These are the stories of Cairo By Gaslight.
