"When Zombies Attack!" That pretty much sums up the concept behind Max Brooks's The Zombie Survival Guide. Divided into logical sections depending on the severity of the outbreak, the guide is part biology text, part instruction manual; chock full of anecdotes, strategy suggestions, and hundreds of tips and tricks for making it through the assault when the dead just won't stay put. What kind of vehicle should you have, what kind of weapons (and will the law allow you to have them), the guide covers the offense, the defense, and the miscellaneous details of living through zombie incursions both local and global. Duct tape and plastic sheeting will not suffice. A sword and cross-bow are heartily recommended. If you too would like to survive, The Zombie Survival Guide tells you how.
