Synopsis

The Fall of the Governor Part One by Robert Kirkman and Jay Bonansinga is the third novel in the New York Times bestselling series based on the award-winning comic books and blockbuster television show.

Über-villain Phillip Blake has come a long way. He journeyed from humble beginnings into the dark heart of the zombie apocalypse. And here, he has manoeuvred to become a small town's self-proclaimed leader. But Woodbury's residents (those who survive) will live to regret the day Blake, aka the Governor, darkened their doors. For the Governor runs a twisted, violent dictatorship within Woodbury's ever-tightening barricades. Those that manage to breach those barricades find only misery within, and the terror of the zombie menace without.

The Governor's complex story continues in a tour de force of action and horror. Iconic characters from the comic book, including Rick, Michonne, and Glenn, make their entrance onto this nightmarish stage, and fans of 'The Walking Dead' will see these characters in a whole new light.

About this title

Review:

Praise for "The Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor: "

"An excellent companion to the "The Walking Dead" comic books. The story is enriched by the novel format, and the characterization of the series' most hated villain is something no fan will want to miss."
--"Examiner.com"

"This book stands alone and is a compelling read for fans of the series or just fans of zombies. Watch out though, because once you get a taste of the particular Kirkman brand of zombie mayhem, catching up on past issues is just around the corner."
--"The Ossuary"

"The story makes a great novel. You'll get sucked in and can easily visualize everything that is happening. It's simply a great read."
--"Comicvine.com"

"It takes great advantage of the literary medium in a way that most tie-in books would not."
--"TVOverMind.com

""Not for the faint of heart, this book runs on pressure-cooker suspense, graphically described bloodshed, and dark acts of brutality...This riveting character study adds a new dimension to the oeuvre by fleshing out established characters and plot lines."
--"School Library Journal"

Praise for "The Walking Dead: The Road to Woodbury:

""An entertaining read." --ComicBookMovie.com

"The novel fleshes out . . . backstories and connects them, giving depth to people who remained largely mysteries in the comic books. For comic book readers, the novel is full of easter eggs and surprise connections, making it not only entertaining, but necessarily for filling in the gaps left by the comic books . . . 'The Road to Woodbury' is an essential read for any fan of 'The Walking Dead'." --Examiner.com
