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?

A very funny and entertaining, yet also dramatic story about a Star Trek convention turned zombie apocalypse. Lots of killing, death and gore. Lots of funny Star Trek jokes, and a couple mentions of other franchises. If you are a Star Trek fan and also like ST: Lower Decks or Galaxy Quest, read it. If you like Zombie comedy like Zombieland, read it. Even if you, like me, don't really care for Zombies, give it a shot.

Review of 'Night of the Living Trekkies' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

If you like Star Trek or Zombies you want to read this book. If you like both, you have to read this book!

No, seriously, go read this book. I expected it to be amusing, but mostly bad. I was wrong! It's laugh out loud funny! It was also a poor choice for a before bed book, as I stayed up far too late to finish it.


As a side note, why does Houston get nuked so often? First in Independence Day and now here...
