More than just another Zombie story
World War Z had been on my to-read list for many years, ever since a Zombie obsessed friend of mine insisted it was a must-read. To be honest I was always ... READ MORE

Synopsis

It began with rumours from China about another pandemic. Then the cases started to multiply and what had looked like the stirrings of a criminal underclass, even the beginning of a revolution, soon revealed itself to be much, much worse.

Faced with a future of mindless man-eating horror, humanity was forced to accept the logic of world government and face events that tested our sanity and our sense of reality. Based on extensive interviews with survivors and key players in the ten-year fight against the horde, World War Z brings the finest traditions of journalism to bear on what is surely the most incredible story in the history of human civilisation.

Read the original cult novel that propelled the zombie genre into the mainstream - now a blockbuster film and game.

A very unique angle on the zombie invasion idea. It's the tales from people who have survived the war. It's over and they are being interviewed. Some are j... READ MORE
