A powerful Congolese witch doctor is captured and taken from his village by British slavers. He witnesses the slaughter of all of the children and elderly of his tribe. M'Ganga and the rest of his tribe are then driven through the jungle to the sea where a slave ship is waiting. Unknown to his captors, M'Ganga has hidden a powerful zombie powder on his person. What follows is a tale of horror and vengeance that will not be soon forgotten. The drums are beating, death is in the air and the slavers are trapped aboard their own ship. It's the 1700's, the capturing of African slaves is at its peak. Mikel B. Classen has created a tale of terror and horror ripped from the pages of history that leaves the reader with a vision of evil, monsters and justice like none other.
