The publisher's blurb reads: ''It's one of the most iconic images in history: three men on camelback, arriving at a manger, bearing gifts. An impossibly bright star in the vast desert sky. A moment of serenity and grace. A holy night. But who were the Three Wise Men? The Bible has almost nothing to say about them. How do we know they were three kings from the East? What if they were petty, murderous thieves on the run, escaping through Judea under cover of night? Leave it to Seth Grahame-Smith to take a little mystery, bend a little history and weave an epic tale. In this telling, the three wise men are led by the dark, murderous Balthazar -- the infamous Antioch Ghost. After a brutal escape from Herod's prison, they stumble upon the famous manger and its newborn king. The last thing Balthazar needs is to be slowed down by young Joseph, Mary, and their infant. But when Herod's men begin to slaughter the first born in Judea, he has no choice but to help them escape to Egypt.''
