Excerpt from the book¸ from ?Cry Havoc?:
As the four Knights leaped out the doorway¸ the planes fuel caught fire and exploded with a bright flash and a tremendous roar. The fiery hot air slammed into their necks and backs while they were in mid-air¸ the force of the explosion hurling the Knights dozens of feet across the field¸ at last bringing them to rest face down in the furrowed dirt.
Corey spat out a mouthful of soil. It had a bitter¸ rotten taste¸ a taste that seemed familiar but she could not place it. She noticed a smooth white patch of something sticking out of the ground. She brushed away the dirt¸ and gasped at the grisly human skull which stared back at her with all living eyes. Suddenly a pair of vine-covered skeletal arms shot from the dirt and seized the newswoman by the shoulders¸ as more figures erupted from the ground around her.
?Gospog!? she screamed¸ as she managed to unholster her sidearm and pump four rounds into the grinning skull. The creature loosed it grip and Corey leapt to her feet¸ only to find that her friends had made the exact same discovery¸ and were fighting for their lives against a shambling horde of dozens of the blasphemies ?
