Jonathan Mayberry
Citadel Press 2008
In
the tradition of bestsellers World War Z and The Zombie Survival Guide,
multiple Bram Stoker Award-winner Jonathan Mayberry presents an irresistible,
fully illustrated and fascinating guide to the forensic science of the walking
dead. Mayberry, however, takes a very different view than fictional
explorations of the subjects he uses “Zombies” as a working hypothesis and
interviews experts to see how the real world would respond to a Zombie attach.
Mayberry
interviews 250 real-world experts in Law enforcement, Forensic Science,
Medicine, Law, Psychology, the Military and Philosophy to present the first
ever look at how our real world would react, research and respond to a zombie
uprising.
Follow
the case from the crime scene of the first zombie attack; collect evidence with
the experts; go on a manhunt with the police; stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Swat;
go into the labs and morgue with top scientists; hunt the story with
journalists; kick some undead ass with martial arts experts; and philosophize
with psychologists and even the clergy! Zombie CSU taps experts from 911
operators to directors at Homeland Security.
