Nadie le dijo a la teniente Kitty McCulley que eso era lo que tenía que hacer una enfermera. Nadie le dijo que a Vietnam no iba a curar pacientes, sino a contemplar, impotente, su dolor. Que no estaba allí para aliviar el sufrimiento ajeno, sino para convertirse en objeto del desprecio de sus congéneres, y de su lujuria. Que no salvaría las vidas de las víctimas, sino que los propios médicos la abofetearían con su indiferencia. Nadie se lo dijo. Aunque no habría cambiado nada. Cuando uno de sus pacientes, un hombre santo venerado por los vietnamitas, le entrega a Kitty un amuleto con unos supuestos poderes inexplicables, su mundo cambia para siempre.

Progress has transformed Queenston, capital city of Argonia. Once the land of witches, wizards, fairies, and other magical people and animals, since the Great War, the country has changed. Queenston, particularly, is now the city of contraptions and conveyances, including a modern international railroad. In the Great War Argonia''s dragons allied with the armies to push back an invasion. For their assistance, the beasts shared what food remained as the country rebuilt itself. But with the war won, the allies came to "recover" the war-torn country, bringing with them new ideas and inventions, most of which only needed a supply of iron and a reliable source of heat for their boilers. The dragons were again recruited, tamed, altered and virtually enslaved to power Progress. Verity Brown is a modern girl. The magic of her witchy foremothers has become, if not actually illegal, highly unfashionable. The only magic that matters to Verity is her own curse, forcing her to know and tell the truth regardless of convenience. On Verity''s 16th birthday, a hot-air balloon crash kills her father. The balloon''s dragon and wrangler rescue Verity, but are blamed and sentenced to be put to death. Her honorable quest to save them and find her father''s murderer takes her straight into the den of the wild and ferocious Dragon Vitia.

The Tour Bus of Doom rolls into a small coastal town, spewing zombies to rampage down the main street. To the beat of eerie drum music, they loot, kidnap, and zombie-fy innocent citizens. Spam the cat, self-appointed feline defender of the town, watches in horror from the rooftops. When the zombies abduct Spam''s jeweler friend and take over the nursing home, Spam is certain they are also responsible for the disappearance of his next-door neighbor Mr. Barker, partner of retired police dog, Officer Bubba. Then Marigold, Spam''s half sister, reports that her human family, who went missing while on a mission of mercy to earthquake ravaged Haiti, has finally returned home, just long enough to take their valuables. And They. Don''t. Even. Recognize. Her. All of that is dire enough, but then the zombies go too far and take over the bodies of the owner and server at Spam''s favorite fish''n''chips place. Searching for help from his vampire friend Maddog, Spam meets a new cat in town, the sinuous Havana Brown Erzullie, who arrived with the zombies. Aided (sort of) by her, Renfrew the raccoon, the urban deer cat taxi service, Rocky the vampcat, and his half-siblings Marigold and Mat, the heroic feline must investigate, before the zombie apocalyps-o destroys not only his town, but his home and his beloved Darcy. Just when he thinks he may have the situation well in paw, the zombie hunters from Seattle arrive, responding to a bounty on the heads of the zombies. What they don''t realize is that they have the wrong brand of zombies, the un-plagued un-dead, who could revive as long as they keep their heads.
