Reviews

Praise for The Zombie Combat Manual "The Zombie Combat Manual kicks undead ass! Roger Ma saves the day with this smart, funny, and thoroughly practical book on fighting the living dead."--Jonathan Maberry, author of Patient Zero and Zombie CSU "As a practitioner of martial arts, and a former US Army Ranger, I cannot stress enough how important empty-hand fighting is...There are many survival books out there on how to deal with the living dead and then there's this one. Roger Ma's book should be on the short list of handy manuals to take with you to the zombie apocalypse."--Don Roff, author of Zombies: A Record of the Year of Infection "If you're a reader who likes books about zombies that never "blink" and keep up the intensity for the entire read, then The Zombie Combat Manual is the book for you."--Scott Kenemore, author of The Zen of Zombie and Z.E.O.
