Description
Find Night of the Living Trekkies on FacebookThis sci-fi/zombie/comedy/adventure follows a group of rag-tag Trekkies getting together for the fifth annual GulfCon (billed as the "largest Starfleet Convention in the western Gulf Coast region").Our heroes are dressed in homemade uniforms and armed with prop phasers-but soon find themselves defending their hotel and convention center against hordes of flesh-eating undead. Suddenly, all of their useless knowledge about particle physics and old Star Trek episodes has genuine real-world applications! And while hotel employees and regular civilians are dying left and right, our Trekkies summon strength and courage by emulating their favorite starship-voyaging characters.Packed with hundreds of gags referencing Star Trek, Star Wars, comic books, and fan conventions, Night of the Living Trekkies reads like the strange lovechild of Galaxy Quest and Dawn of the Dead. Journey to the final frontier of zombie science-fiction satire!

Reviews"Absolutely terrifying!"-Fangoria "Has the zombiepocalypse ended its undead run on bookstores yet? Not if Kevin David Anderson and Sam Stall can help it."-Los Angeles Times, Jacket Copy "A fun, highly readable action tale packed with obscure Trek references, all wrapped in a sturdy, fast-paced and cinematic story."-Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Shock Room "Lovers of 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 "Night of the Living Trekkies can be enjoyed as a standalone story by ANY zombie or 'Star Trek' fan, and while pre-existing knowledge of the 'Star Trek' universe or the nature of zombies is helpful in places, it is definitely not required."-ScienceFiction.com
