Hell Heart by Robert E. VardemanDescription: In Central America, rebel forces are battling Union troops for control of Chiapas. But the guerrilla struggle becomes an interstellar war when a lethal energy sliver from the Maw crashes into the Mexican jungle...pursued by the Maelstrom's most vicious aliens. Now in the fallout, a wounded Shard is mutating into a horde of crystalline monsters, while an undead Pharon priest slaughters both Union and rebel soldiers to reinforce his zombie army. And as the fighting escalates into bloody anarchy, the deadly energies build and intensify, threatening a damnation worse than even the Maelstrom itself...HELL HEART
LEGION OF HORROR
Jose crossed himself when he saw who it was-or, rather, what it was.
Now he knew what had happened to his missing patrols. He heard a small gasp from Consuela, but he could not tear his eyes away from the shambling, decayed parodies of humanity that had lurched into view on the trail. Shreds of their uniforms hung off their twisted limbs, the wounds that had killed them clearly visible through the rags. Hoses from the dull metallic tanks on their backs circled their tortured bodies and entered their chests in several places.
'The dead have risen from the grave,' he breathed.
