A steampunk short set in an alternative London. The Tower: a rock around which swirls a broken Empire, where Cloud Pirates rules the skies in their cloudships and power is all. Lead by Tower Commander Denalta, can Trooper Seth and his fellow Guards survive, and will the weapons supplied by the enigmatic Raven give them the edge over Captain Pincer and his pirates? Will the last bastion of law and order survive the chaos? Will the Tower survive or crumble?

Not all outbreaks become pandemics. Some of them are cut off early, before they can really begin. "Zombie" is a humorous horror story about the near-apocalypse, an account of what almost became the last great plague.
