Story Behind The Book

Long after the fall of man, humanity lives sheltered behind a massive wall that encloses the United States' last survivors of civilization. Outside the wall, the undead rule the world. Generations have passed and mankind has returned to the technology and life of the Old West, surviving off the land and doing what they can to get by. Hyattsburg, a haven once thought safe behind the wall, has visitors: hungry zombies. When an entire family is murdered and partially eaten, Alan, the world's last remaining Weaponer, is called to duty to aid those struggling to remain safe, as well as find out what happened and if the dead are the only ones to blame for the grisly deaths of innocents. Terror and zombies rule an Old West Apocalypse in The Weaponer.

Reviews

<p><font size="2">&quot;With <em>The Weaponer</em>, Eric S. Brown reloads the zombie genre for a take-no-prisoners tale of action, heartbreak and adventure.&quot; - Jonathan Maberry, NY Times bestselling author of <em>Patient Zero</em> and <em>Dead of Night</em> </font></p><p> <font size="2">&quot;If George Romero ever decided to combine <em>Shane</em> and <em>The Road Warrior</em>, he'd probably write something a lot like Eric S. Brown's <em>The Weaponer</em>.&quot; - Peter Clines, author of <em>Ex-Heroes</em> </font></p><p> <font size="2">&quot;<em>The Weaponer</em> combines the old west with modern technology and an army of the living dead to create a bleak and chilling tale of a post-apocalyptic future. But at its heart, it's a story about the human will to survive.&quot; - S.G. Browne, author of <em>Breathers</em> </font></p><p> <font size="2">&quot;<em>The Weaponer</em> takes the reader into the remnants of the modern world, where old west values take the place of modern comfort in a land of human savages and the zombie curse. Eric S. Brown sculpts his story like <em>The Weaponer</em>, as 'an artisan of death.'&quot; - Bowie V. Ibarra, author of the <em>Down the Road</em> Zombie Horror series </font></p>
