Max Brooks, Zombie-Prophet-in-Chief, does it again. No other author/harbinger of impending doom details the dangers of the zombie plague so movingly and plausibly- these zombie attacks may be lost to the annals of history but they read as real as CNN. Brooks painstakingly documents evidence of zombie attacks on the ancient Neanderthals, the Roman armies in Britania, Caribbean plantations, French colonies in North Africa, Czarist Russia and other locales across our planet's history and geography. Each encounter is chilling, compelling and highly educational. Brooks blends perfectly the reckless threat of the zombie plague and- as in the case of a zombie outbreak onboard a slave ship- the deliberate cruelty and blindness of the living.
