Night of the Living Trekkies

        Journey to the final frontier of sci-fi zombie horror! Jim Pike was the world's biggest Star Trek fan -- until two tours 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 fan boys and fan girls 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?

        Fast, funny, and loaded with countless references to Star Trek, geek culture, and science-fiction conventions, Night of the Living Trekkies already has Web sites, such as io9, TrekToday, MediaBistro, and SciFiWire, abuzz. Night of the Living Trekkies will be available as an audiobook from Random House Audio and as an e-book for Amazon Kindle, Barnes & Noble Nook, Borders Kobo, and Sony Reader. The book is currently available for pre-order.

        Co-authored by Sam Stall and Kevin David Anderson. Mr. Anderson lives in California, and Mr. Stall lives in Indianapolis. Available in September 2010 from Quirk Books.
