Habeas Corpses is the third science fiction book in the Halflife Chronicles series by William Mark Simmons.
Two years ago, Christopher Csejthe survived a blood transfusion with a vampire only to discover that he was infected with one of two viruses that turn the living into the undead.
He survived on his wits as men, monsters, and government agencies hunted him down for the secrets his mutant blood might hold. His personal life is just as troubled as the assassins are appearing in increasing numbers: His bodyguard is a seductive vampire, his jealous werewolf lover cannot contact him after a silver bullet poisoned his blood, and the ghost of his dead wife still hangs around, giving outlandish advice.
Almost the undead has provided countless challenges, mixing humor and horror in his previous two outings, One Foot in the Grave and Dead on My Feet. An assassin’s bullet knocks Csejthe out of his body and into the afterlife as he journeys through the realm of the real dead before finally confronting a German-born villain. National Socialist. An evil that persists through genetic manipulation and nanotechnology and is just waiting for Csejthe’s blood to overcome the final barrier to immortality.
