On a beautiful tropical island in 1598, three men face problems that test their integrity to its central: zombies, Komodo dragons, and each other. Inacio, an informed sailor from Portugal who is shipwrecked on Flores Island, is convinced non-Europeans shortage honor and brains. Buti, an Indonesian villager, has a well-deserved reputation as a lazy and cowardly drunk. Stomach, a cave-dwelling Ebu Gogo, desperately wants to cross his rite of manhood. The lives and destinies of the men intersect one terrifying day in 1598 when the serenity and beauty of Flores is desecrated by zombies from Inacio's ship. Based on significant research, this novelette is as historically and ethnographically accurate as is possible (like all the author's historical works) except: (1) The Ebu Gogo (Homo floresiensis) probably died out on Flores Island thousands of years before this story occurs (although local folktales of the Ebu Gogo live on and date them much more just lately). (2) Zombies did not invade Flores Island in 1598. In fact, corresponding to my research, zombies haven't invaded Flores Island. If you do not want to ever have to use your zombie invasion plan, you might wish to move to Flores Island. Remember to make a Komodo dragon evasion plan first.
