The Walking Dead: Rise of The Governor

Robert Kirkman

First came the groundbreaking and bestselling comic book series. . . .

“Every issue sinks its teeth in you and refuses to let go until the next one comes out.”
—Ain’t It Cool News

Then came the record-breaking AMC television show. . . .

“The best new show on television.”
—Entertainment Weekly

And now comes the first in a series of novels exploring the origins of fan favorite characters from The Walking Dead universe. . .

“If the comic book writer Robert Kirkman were a superhero, his name might be the Midas Touch.”
—The New York Times

In The Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor, the world will finally understand what drove Philip Blake to become . . . The Governor.

From the Press Release:
In the Walking Dead universe there is no greater villain than The Governor. The despot who runs the walled-off town of Woodbury, he has his own sick sense of justice, whether it’s forcing prisoners to battle zombies in an arena for the townspeople’s amusement or chopping off the appendages of those who cross him. The Governor was voted “Villain of the Year” by Wizard Magazine the year he debuted, and his story arc was the most controversial in the history of the Walking Dead comic book series.

Now, for the first time, fans of The Walking Dead will discover how The Governor became the man he is and what drove him to such extremes.

This is the story of Philip Blake; his daughter, Penny; and his brother, Brian. Along with two of Philip’s friends, this ragtag group of survivors attempt to make it to Atlanta as the zombie apocalypse rages around them. But as their journey becomes more and more dangerous, Philip will realize that he must do whatever it takes to save his friends and family ... and his own soul in the process.

Written by Robert Kirkman and Jay Bonansinga and narrated by four-time winner of the Audiofile Earphone Award Fred Berman, all of your favorite characters in the Walking Dead universe are brought to life along with the fear, adventure, and excitement that the story conveys.
