»Liksom George Romeros Dead-trilogi är Världskrig Z en milstolpe i zombiemytologin.« Booklist
»Apocalypse Now i pandemi-stil. Läskigt och uppslukande« USA Today
För bara tio år sedan var zombiekriget - orsakat av historiens mest fasansfulla pandemi - nära att utplåna hela mänskligheten. En namnlös berättare, motiverad av viljan att bevara de överlevandes erfarenheter från de apokalyptiska åren, bestämde sig för att resa över USA och resten av världen. Världskrig Z består av hans intervjuer med de människor han mött: smugglare och militärer som varit aktivt involverade i kampen, men också vanliga civila som en gång stått ansikte mot ansikte med den här tidens levande - eller snarare odöda - helvete. Vittnesmålen sträcker sig från den ökända byn Nya Dachang i Förenade Kinesiska Federationen, där pandemispåret tog sin början med tolvårige »Patient Noll«, via de namnlösa skogar i norr där otaliga människor sökte tillflykt i kylan, till ett Sydafrika där Redekerplanen ingav mänskligheten hopp, till ett outsägligt pris.I svensk översättning av Niklas Darke.
MAX BROOKS, född i New York 1972, är en amerikansk författare och skådespelare, son till regissören Mel Brooks. Världskrig Z är hans andra bok, som har blivit en stor internationell succé och förvandlats till både film - med Brad Pitt och Mireille Enos i två av huvudrollerna och dataspel. Boken har sålt i över två miljon exemplar världen över.
»Intervjuerna är så skickligt skrivna att man dras med och får svårt att skilja mellan fakta och fiktion. Brooks går verkligen in i de olika rollerna och ser kriget från de olika vinklarna. Jag är djupt imponerad.« Pocketlover
»Det är skrivet med sådan inlevelse och övertygelse att man köper hela konceptet med hull och hjärna. Man nästan glömmer bort att det är zombiearméer som brölar i frontlinjerna. Torra och vetenskapsbaserade fakta varvas med hisnande actionäventyr och bisarra överlevnadshistorier.« Rysarnytt

The Zombie War came unthinkably close to eradicating humanity. Max Brooks, driven by the urgency of preserving the acid-etched first-hand experiences of the survivors from those apocalyptic years, traveled across the United States of America and throughout the world, from decimated cities that once teemed with upwards of thirty million souls to the most remote and inhospitable areas of the planet. He recorded the testimony of men, women, and sometimes children who came face-to-face with the living, or at least the undead, hell of that dreadful time. World War Z is the result. Never before have we had access to a document that so powerfully conveys the depth of fear and horror, and also the ineradicable spirit of resistance, that gripped human society through the plague years.

The New York Times bestselling author of Minecraft: The Island details the story of two stranded heroes whose block-breaking expedition lands them squarely in the middle of a conflict that only they can resolve. Journeying into the unknown is a scary prospect, but together Guy and Summer can navigate any challenge. The two castaways strike out in this curious, blocky world, searching for a way home.

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER In 1919, the 369th infantry regiment - the Harlem Hellfighters as the Germans called them - marched home triumphantly from World War I. They had spent more time in combat than any other American unit, never losing a foot of ground to the enemy and winning countless decorations. Though they returned home from the trenches of France as heroes, this overlooked that the African American unit faced tremendous discrimination, even from their own government.Based on true events and featuring artwork from acclaimed illustrator Caanan White, The Harlem Hellfighters delivers an action-packed and powerful story of how a group of exceptional individuals showed extraordinary courage, honour and heart in the face of terrible prejudice and in the midst of the unprecedented horrors of the Great War.

Max Brooks bok Zombie – En överlevnadsguide i översättning av Måns Winberg. En utmärkt handbok som levererar en lång rad handfasta, tillförlitliga, noga utprovade tips. Tips och råd som kan bli avgörande i allas vår kamp för överlevnad, nu när hotet från zombierna bara blir större och större. Och inte nog med det, här får vi också värdefulla faktakunskaper om hur de odöda beter sig, varför de gör som de gör, varför de så mekaniskt hasar sig fram, jämrar sig, aldrig ser sig om, aldrig stannar upp, alltid fortsätter med det eviga famlandet efter levande föda. Dessutom en historisk exposé över konstaterade zombieutbrott genom tiderna. Som många säkert redan känner till finns det inget mystiskt eller övernaturligt bakom zombiernas "livsform". Återupplivningen orsakas av ett specifikt virus – solanum – numera välkänt av vetenskapen. Solanum överförs vanligen från zombie till människa via bett och virusets verkan märks först när människan ifråga har dött. Solanum angriper då den döda hjärnan och en genomgripande förvandling sker. Efter i genomsnitt tolv timmar vaknar den döde till "liv", men inte till ett liv i vanlig mening utan till ett fasansfullt tillstånd utan tankar och känslor och med endast ett fokus för beteendet: att äta, att anfalla och sätta tänderna i andra varelser, i synnerhet människor. Kännedomen om allt detta hemska kan tyckas outhärdlig. Det är nu uppenbart att risken för att ett globalt zombieutbrott ska drabba mänskligheten är mycket stor. Men tack vare Brooks utmärkta bok finns det ändå anledning att känna tillförsikt. Boken innehåller massvis med råd, t ex: Tänk på att zombierna inte kan organisera sig. Det kan vi. Vi kan planera vårt agerande. Och vi kan hjälpas åt. Vi känner till zombiernas svaga punkter. Vi vet att de är okänsliga för hugg och slag och kulor från skjutvapen riktade mot deras kroppar – men avfyrar man ett hagelgevär mot en zombies huvud stoppar man honom genast! Så använd ditt huvud. Hugg av deras! Tänk på att hugg- och stickvapen har den stora fördelen att de inte behöver laddas om. Organisera er. Planera. Tänk igenom. Framförallt: organisera er INNAN de kommer! Klä dig i tätt sittande plagg. Håll håret kortklippt. Det är enkla åtgärder som kan bli avgörande i handgemäng med zombier. Ta dig snarast upp på ovanvåningen – riv sedan trappan. Låt bilen stå, cykel är bättre. Håll dig hela tiden rörlig, var tyst, var uppmärksam. Inget ställe är helt säkert. Ställen är mer eller mindre säkra. Tätorter är INTE säkra – när invasionen kommer. Bokens författare – Max Brooks – är en av världens ledande experter i zombieöverlevnad. (Han bor för närvarande i New York City men kommer mycket snart att flytta till en avlägsnare, mer zombiesäker plats.)
