The Mayor of Caesarea has been working hard. Too hard. And yes, he looks
tired. Very, very tired. With a little help from council he's been
trying to get everyone in town hooked up. But when you're talking water,
when you're talking sewage, interests conflict and tempers flare. And
don't overlook the fact that your deputy gleefully indulges in frequent
micro-psychotic episodes. Or that your chairwoman believes her husband
is controlling her thoughts. No, in Caesarea things are never quite what
they appear. In fact, God only knows when the rest of the world will
figure out how strange this town really is...The Mayor's trying though,
for you and all his other constituents.And so maybe the burden, the
intensity, the heat of debate, has caused him to break into that sweat.
But nothing explains the smell. Of course, this doesn't necessarily mean
that anyone is going to die...Or does it? Caesarea is the new novel from
Tony Burgess. The third and final installment of the trilogy he began
with The Hellmouths of Bewdley, and continued in Pontypool Changes
Everything (the zombie tale that's soon to be a major motion picture by
Bruce McDonald), Caesarea is about a town that can't get to sleep at
night. In Caesarea, everybody's embarrassed and nobody but Burgess is
mentioning the mess. He's asking the questions the town doesn't want
answered. And the big question is: Who's been sleeping in your bed? You
think you're safe when you lock your front door, right? Not in Tony
Burgess's Caesarea. In this town you can never go home. Ever.
