The laws pertaining to coming back from the dead are simple: "Do no harm to humanity" and "Allow no harm to befall humanity due to your action or inaction". Those raised from the dead are placid individuals who serve the living.
However, something emotionally changes amongst the living as increasingly mankind finds the revised dead an abomination. The government decides to act on what they wrought. They begin a systematic hunt to destroy the reanimated. Unable to fight back due to the "laws" of nature that bound them from causing harm, a small few escape the latest lethal raid. They meet up with a "newborn", who shockingly has blood on his hands. Dominion is one of them and not one of them as he is able to kill humans. With him as their leader, others follow this bewildered evolved dead as he takes over a castle waiting for the counter human assault not understanding the betrayal from within by those who still obey.
When Death's Dominion concentrates on Asimov meets Frankenstein, the storyline is a superb gory thriller; when a subplot focuses on the Holocaust and the Middle East it seems as bewildering as Dominion's brain. Still since the monsters are the prime theme, readers will appreciate this fun tale of just who is the monster.
