Devil Wind
"William Nikkel’s Devil Wind has everything I love in a relentless mayhem, great action set pieces, maddening chases, and zombies! Here's a book that will keep you reading late into the night...and still leave you wanting more!"
~ James Rollins, New York Times bestseller of The Eye of God
Who else would mix zombies with gunfighters, saloon girls and lots of whiskey drinking? Written in a fast-paced writing style, William Nikkel's Devil Wind is a rollicking Wild West tale with a steampunk tweak.
~ Gary Braver, Bestselling and award-winning author of Tunnel Vision
Coyote Flats, the Nevada desert 1897: the age of steam and gears and zombies. Ryan McBride has one of the richest gold mines in Nevada. But that’s not enough. He not only intends to own every gold claim in the area, he wants the town, too. And he’ll do whatever it takes to make that happen.
At night when the devil wind blows, a pack of flesh-hungry zombies descend on Coyote Flats. Townspeople are killed and Sheriff John Cable stands alone against the creatures. He steps into the night and disappears; but not before asking that a telegraph be sent to his friend Max Traver in San Francisco requesting his help. Now it’s up to Traver to stop McBride. But first he has to face McBride’s gunman Driscoll Pine and the zombies turned loose on the town to instill fear in the miners.
