Publisher Description

Journey to the final frontier of sci-fi zombie horror!

 

Jim Pike was the world’s biggest Star Trek fan—until two tours of duty in Afghanistan destroyed his faith in the human race. Now he sleepwalks through life as the assistant manager of a small hotel in downtown Houston.

 

But when hundreds of Trekkies arrive in his lobby for a science-fiction convention, Jim finds himself surrounded by costumed Klingons, Vulcans, and Ferengi—plus a strange virus that transforms its carriers into savage, flesh-eating zombies!

 

As bloody corpses stumble to life and the planet teeters on the brink of total apocalypse, Jim must deliver a ragtag crew of fanboys and fangirls to safety. Dressed in homemade uniforms and armed with prop phasers, their prime directive is to survive. But how long can they last in the ultimate no-win scenario?

"I saw this in the bookstore and the title instantly grabbed me... of course that frequently happens and then I turn to the first page and I put it down... NOT THIS TIME! I absolutely loved this book! I laughed all the way through it. I've always love Star Trek, especially "Next Generation" but I honestly I'm a much bigger Star Wars fan. It didn't matter with this book. If you watched Star Trek or Star Wars, you will definitely appreciate the humor! I really wish the authors would write more of this kind of fiction, it was definitely worth the read! They can even make fun of themselves as Trekkies."

    " I don't really like this current trend to "horrorize" everything in sight. But this - due to the title alone - needed checking out. I was pleasantly surprised. I found an great zombie story in its own right and a interesting discussion of what the type of story we read says about our outlook: if you're here for Star Trek you are likly optimistic that everything will work out, If you're here for zombies your outlook is bleak. Very interesting idea (although a better and more throughough discussion can be found in the title essay of Patton Oswalt's Zombie Spaceship Wasteland ). Worth checking out. "

    " It was a fairly silly book but I enjoyed it. At some point I think I'll try adapting it to an RPG game and running it over a weekend, I think that could be alot of fun :) "

    " Hilarious, funny, awesome. Should you so desire, the audiobook is read by Will Wheaton... (And if I squint the princess' name looks like my own... Which basically means I get to listen to a story about myself and Will Wheaton... ) "

    " Only worth reading if you know Star Trek incredibly well, which I do. I got the jokes, but it was mediocre story telling. The jokes made it bearable and 'a lighthearted romp', to put it quaintly. "

    " Star Trek and Zombies. What is not to like? Great fluffy reading for when you are looking for a quick dip into the genre. There are references both easy and hard to ST with the most obvious being the chapter titles. "

    " Pulp. This is kinda the first time I've read pulp. Kinda enjoyed it. And a perfect time to read it, right around Halloween. Dunno that I would recommend this to anyone but the most nerdiest of my friends. Who like Trek. And zombies. In the same story. "

    " Fun read, especially since I am an old trekkie. One plot anomaly. There is a point in the story where the time is stated to be just before 5 a.m. and then a few pages later it's suddenly 10 till 4 a.m. Story and writing consistently good otherwise. "

    " I really enjoyed this book; anyone with some familiarity with conventions, Star Trek, Star Wars, and the fan world in general should find it very entertaining. And if you love zombies, well, it has those in spades. Well-written, engaging, and fun! "

    " Hilarious. I expected it to be 100% hokey without a real plot, but it offered up an interesting explanation for the zombie infestation. Nicely done. And the Star Trek convention as the setting was, well, out of this world. Funny, a bit suspenseful, highly recommended for zombie fans. "

    " I loved this book! I went in thinking that this would be so-so but wow I was wrong. I do think you need to know at least some about Star Trek get some of the jokes and references but I don't think that it is entirely necessary. I am very surprised at the quality of this book. "

    " It was an amusing read. I had to confer with my resident Star Trek expert in order to get a few of the jokes. Just wondering though ... why are zombies so popular these days? "
