Across this dramatic landscape, large groups of survivors have clustered together for safety in villages and towns that have been built vertically as a means of protection against the unceasing wave of <i>jiangshi</i>. <p/>Before this devastation, Zhu was one of the millions of poor farmers who left their rural roots for the promise of consistent employment in one of China's booming factory towns. Elena was an American teaching English in China while on a gap year before beginning law school. Hengyen was a grizzled military officer of some renown, and a passionate believer in his nation's ability to surmount any obstacle. <p/>But with the settlement's 3,000 mouths to feed and the scavengers having to travel further and further in search of food, Zhu ends up at his home village, where he is shocked to find survivors. Does he force them to join the settlement or keep their existence a secret? <p/>Meanwhile, Hengyen is tasked with the impossible: fortifying the Beacon against a 100,000-strong "typhoon" of walkers header their way. Even though he realizes that the Beacon hardly stands a chance, Hengyen is a believer and will stand with his compatriots to the very last, bringing him into conflict with Zhu, who intends to flee the path of the typhoon and make for the safety of China's dramatic mountain ranges before it's too late. <p/>Given "two decaying thumbs up," (Jonathan Mayberry, author of <i>Rot & Ruin</i>), this book is sure to get your heart racing and leave you wanting more!<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"After the dead start walking, the living have to hold onto each other and run, and run, and keep running. <i>Typhoon</i> knows this, and never stops. There's teeth around every corner, in every shadow, and--this is the Walking Dead, after all--not everyone lives. You won't want this novel to end."--Stephen Graham Jones, Bram Stoker award-winning author of <i>Mapping the Interior </i>and <i>Mongrels</i><br><br>"Typhoon is a trans-Pacific arrow through my heart."--Weston Ochse, Bram Stoker award-winning author of <i>SEAL Team 666</i> and <i>Grunt Life</i><br><br>"With THE WALKING DEAD: TYPHOON, Wesley Chu takes a big damn bite out of the zombie genre. It's gory and action-packed but built around a core of characters you genuinely care about. Two decaying thumbs up!"--Jonathan Maberry, <i>New York Times</i> best-selling author of <i>Rot & Ruin</i> and <i>V-Wars</i><br>
