# Rise of the Governor by Robert Kirkman (Paperback)

**Based on the** **award-winning** **graphic novels** **created by Robert Kirkman, if you liked _The Walking Dead_ TV series, you'll love this.**  
**  
The world has gone to hell - and that story starts here.**  
  
Philip Blake's life has been turned upside down. In less than seventy-two hours, an inexplicable event has resulted in people everywhere . . . _turning_. Now the walking dead roam the streets, massacring the living, and it seems that nowhere is safe. Escaping his small town, Philip has just one focus in life - to protect his young daughter Penny. And he'll do whatever it takes to ensure she survives.  
  
With his two old high-school friends and his brother Brian, Philip decides to aim for Atlanta. It's said refugee centres are being set up there. But between them and safety stand the walking dead - and they must, somehow, pass through them to reach salvation.  
  
**_The Rise of the Governor_ is fast-paced, action-packed storytelling about the lengths some people will go to survive.** **This book features new characters, new storylines and the same electrifying world from the hit TV show _The Walking Dead._**
