Writing with the ultimate deadpan seriousness, Brooks describes the tools you will need to protect your family and friends from the undead.

The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection NEWThe Complete Protection From the Living Dead by Max BrooksThe Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection from the Living Dead NEW BOOK GalleryWhat's It About?The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection from the Living DeadThe book is divided up into seven separate chapters, plus appendix. The first chapter is entitled Myths and Realities and lays down the specific ground rules that are referenced repeatedly in the book. The most important of these describes Solanum, the virus that creates zombies, along with how it is spread, treatment of the infected, and why the zombie infection does not spread to non-human creatures. The second chapter is entitled Weapons and Combat Techniques and discusses the weapons at the reader's disposal, and weighs them against the various threats that may be faced during confrontations with the undead.The third chapter entitled On the Defensive looks at options for individual to stay in a stationary location. It focuses on remaining stationary in an undead ambush. This is followed by a chapter entitled On the Run which explores dealing with attacks while traveling. While chapters three and four emphasized avoiding the undead, chapter five, On the Attack, is specifically about engaging ghouls to ensure their destruction.The final chapter looks at survival during a doomsday scenario, a Class-4 outbreak would see battle for humanity's survival shift in the zombies' favor, much like the zombie-infested world that can be observed in Land of the Dead. Advice for this section is adapted from previous sections; recommendations for surviving a siege is repeated, though altered for relevancy to the long-term entrenchment a Class-4 outbreak represents.The guide concludes with a fictional list of documented zombie encounters throughout history, including a zombie Cossack, victim of an outbreak that happened 415 years prior, which was described in another entry.The oldest entry is 60,000 BC, in Katanda, Central Africa, although the author expresses doubt to its validity. Instead, he presents evidence from 3000 BC in Hieraconpolis, Egypt as the first verifiable instance of a zombie outbreak. The most recent entry is 2002, Saint Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands.The journal section also introduces a lead in to the next novel, World War Z, in describing how a group of zombies came to be in China which is listed as the outbreak's source.The Appendix takes the form of a sample "Outbreak Journal," with the fictional author noting a covered-up zombie outbreak being seen on the local news. The following pages are blank entries, presumably for the reader to use as a basis for their own journal; their inclusion furthers the overall feel that the book is a survival guide to a real life-threatening possibility. SolanumThe guide attributes the zombie outbreaks described to the virus "Solanum" (not to be confused with the plant genus). The virus is said to be neither waterborne or airborne; the only way to become infected is through direct fluidic contact, in which context the virus is 100% communicable, with a 100% mortality rate. Zombie fansThe book attempts to definitively state the rules for zombie-related canon. Clarified subjects include:
Presented facts are largely compatible with concepts seen in various zombie films, adding another level of authenticity for fans of the genre. * Check out more of our listings for more savings and great deals on books, world-wide!
