Night of the Living Trekkies

By Kevin David Anderson

Book Overview

Journey to the final frontier of sci-fi zombie horror

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 science-fiction 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 total 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?

Customer Reviews

Must read for horror trekkies

You have to have a basic understanding of star trek to get a few of these jokes but any weapon refrances can be found with a quick Google search. I loved this book! Zombie virus but twisted into a star trek episode Kirk would love.

Hilarious fun for any Trekkie who likes zombies

This book was hilarious! A book about a zombie outbreak at the all trek convention that follows all the original series tropes? SOLD! This book is a great read and the fact they made a live action trailer to promote it was ahead of its time genius! Do yourself a favor and read this book.

Loved It

I absolutely loved this book and thought it was hilarious. It's on my "read again" list because I found it very entertaining and hard to put down. Anyone who enjoys sci-fi/horror and who has a sense of humor will enjoy this book.
