The Fall of the Governor, Part One (The Walking Dead)

The Fall of the Governor Part One by Robert Kirkman and Jay Bonansinga is the third novel in the New York Times bestselling series based on the award-winning comic books and blockbuster television show.


Über-villain Phillip Blake has come a long way. He journeyed from humble beginnings into the dark heart of the zombie apocalypse. And here, he has manoeuvred to become a small town''s self-proclaimed leader. But Woodbury''s residents (those who survive) will live to regret the day Blake, aka the Governor, darkened their doors. For the Governor runs a twisted, violent dictatorship within Woodbury''s ever-tightening barricades. Those that manage to breach those barricades find only misery within, and the terror of the zombie menace without.

The Governor''s complex story continues in a tour de force of action and horror. Iconic characters from the comic book, including Rick, Michonne, and Glenn, make their entrance onto this nightmarish stage, and fans of ''The Walking Dead'' will see these characters in a whole new light.
