Night of the
Living Trekkies
Jim Pike was the
world’s biggest
Star Trek fan—until
two tours of duty in Afghanistan destroyed his faith in the human race.
Now he sleepwalks through life as the assistant manager of a small hotel
in downtown Houston.
But when hundreds of Trekkies
arrive in his lobby for a Star Trek convention, Jim finds himself
surrounded by costumed Klingons, Vulcans, and Ferengi—plus a strange
virus that transforms its carriers into savage, flesh-eating zombies!
As bloody corpses
stumble to life and the planet teeters on the brink of apocalypse, Jim
must deliver a ragtag crew of fanboys and fangirls to safety. Dressed in
homemade uniforms and armed with prop phasers, their prime directive is
to survive. But how long can they last in the ultimate no-win scenario?
"The fusion of
campy zombie-powered storyline, abundant Star Trek trivia, and
hilarious one-liners makes this an utterly unforgettable read that
will be cherished by Trekkies, Trekkers, and horror fans alike."
—Publishers Weekly
(Starred Review)
“Has the zombie
apocalypse ended its undead run on bookstores
yet? Not if Kevin David Anderson and Sam Stall
can help it.”—Los Angeles
Times, Jacket Copy
"Written in tounge-and-cheek style, Night of the Living Trekkies is a

references, all wrapped in a sturdy, fast-paced and cinematic story.”—Seattle

"The zombie genre will definitely breeze through
this book, while Star
Trek fans will
revel in the abundance of in-jokes and shout-outs to their
beloved franchise.”—Geeks
of Doom
"...offers
plenty of wit with its alien-infested corpses."
-Yvonne Zipp, The Washington Post
"...Night of the Living Trekkies is liable to become one of this year’s
must-have geek tomes. It’s genre-bending brilliance at its best, and
keeps the reader guessing until the very end, reminding us that space
may very well be the final frontier…Of the undead!"
—The Necromancer
