Besieged ‘But what he missed most at the moment was the sense of solemn ceremony that attended Tom’s dressing him in full uniform.

A Plague of Zombies really leans into the supernatural that we have seen throughout all the Lord John Grey novellas. This one is set in 1761 Jamaica, where John is surrounded by people who are half themselves.

Thank you Gabaldon.
