MEDIA REVIEWS
'Brooks infuses his writing with such precise detail and authenticity,one wonders if he knows something we don't'
'When the zombie apocalypse arrives,we'll be at Max Brooks house... As a horror story,its exciting. As a parable,it's terrifying'
'A welcome continuation to the world that Max Brooks created,and subsequently destroyed,in his previous fictional outings. Brooks writes with an intelligence and poise that elevates his work above the rest of the genre. Brooks shows incredible knowledge of a wide variety of topics,including geography,military procedures and socio-political factors,throughout his work. The level of care and detail he puts into settings and characters make for stories that are nothing short of compelling and,perhaps even better,are entirely convincing. If George A. Romero is revered as the king of zombie films then Max Brooks must surely be dubbed the king of zombie fiction'
