Zombie-Killer Bill is a gunslinger hired to kill the Illegal zombies of the wild west. The Illegals - raging, flesh-eating monsters - spread the infection more than their zombie counterparts - the docile Slave or coherent Legals.
Bill's new job however, is bigger than just a routine zombie slaying. Dozens of Legal and Slave zombies have been brutally murdered on the Hansen Zombie Farm, leaving only the suspicion that a single crazed man was behind it all.
To solve the murders Bill teams up with a unlikely partner and hits the dusty trail. Together they risk life and limb to catch the mad-scientist before he changes the west as they know it.
Amusing quote:
With violent precision gifted only to those who been in more scuffles than a Catholic prient had prayers, he decked the man in the nose.

My two-bits:
In-a-word(s): silver flask
This exciting blend of classic wild west, apocalypse and zombies makes you hoot-n-holler with jubilee!
The three different strata of zombies provides an interesting mix that makes you cheer for some and run from others.
