The Walking Dead series by Jay Bonansinga and Robert Kirkman is based on the award-winning TV series of the same name, itself inspired by Kirkman’s hugely successful comic books. Set in an apocalyptic world, this is fast-paced, action-packed storytelling about the lengths some people will go to survive. With new characters, new storylines and the same in-depth character-based plotting that has made the television series such a success, these books – starting with Rise of the Governor – are a must-read for fans of zombie thrillers.
