title: Preparing for and Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse (Surviving Zombie Warfare)
author: Sean T. Page
description: Gr 9 UpThe slim picture book appearance of these titles belies the very detailed discussion provided in numerous columns of text and small drawings. Originally published as one volume in England in 2013, this set takes that single book (Zombie Survival Manual) and divides it into three. There's plenty of blood and gore, with small red splatters on most pages. The tone is matter-of-fact with occasional references that are seemingly tongue-in-cheek. Zombie characteristics and behavior, and how to defend against a zombie takeover, are explained extensively. The needed skills for self-protection include knowing physical maneuvers and the use of deadly weapons. Combat Skills and Warfare features several pages of explicit diagrams and instructions for using handguns, assault rifles, shotguns, and machine guns, along with a crossbow, chain saw, and petrol bombs. The profiles of potential survival groups are scary examples of sociology. It's possible that horror fans and zombie buffs will find these fascinating and even humorous. VERDICT Much that's here will be disturbing for teenagers and adults. This series seems better suited for adult collections.

  INTEGRITY LOST
  
  
  After the Megacull, the weak died off, so that a century
  
  
  later, the living have descended from only the toughest stock. Still, it takes
  
  
  more than strength to survive Deathlands. It takes skill, cunning and a
  
  
  warrior’s heart. But for Ryan Cawdor, staying alive isn’t just about living.
  In
  
  
  this nuke-transformed America, it helps if somewhere, deep inside, there’s
  hope
  
  
  of finding something better.
  
  
  WALKING DEAD
  
  
  A virulent strain of a predark biowep has been unleashed upon
  
  
  the denizens of northern Kansas, turning them into rotting, flesh-eating
  
  
  monsters. Running from the mindless, soulless rottie hordes, Ryan and his
  
  
  companions arrive in the civil-war-torn ville of Sweetwater Junction. They’ve
  
  
  got one shot at beating the hungry rotties: turn the bloodlust of the ville’s
  
  
  warring factions away from each other and toward a common enemy. But that
  means
  
  
  splitting up an
