Max Brooks, Patron Saint of Zombie Preparedness

Saint George may have slain the dragon, but outside Elder Scrolls, D&D and the Hobbit, chances are you are never going to run into a dragon.  And if you do the only word of advice I have for you is this: 'Meddle not in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.'

Zombies, now, are a different story.  The Zombie Apocalypse is coming and you need to be prepared.  Seek out the teachings of the patron saint of zombie preparedness, Saint Maximillian Michael Brooks, popularly known as Max Brooks.  Mr. Brooks has devoted his life to preparing society for the impending Zombie Apocalypse.  In 2003, he published the seminal zombie preparedness manual, The Zombie Survival Guide.  He followed this up in 2006 with the cautionary tale, World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War.  In 2009, his graphic novel The Zombie Survival Guide: Recorded Attacks revealed the secret history of zombie attacks (Ever wonder what the true secret behind the lost colony of Roanoke was?  Yep, zombies.)  Max has consulted as a zombie expert for the TV shows 'Deadliest Warrior' and 'Sons of Gun' and continues to tour the country giving Zombie Survival Seminars.
