OMG if anyone knows me, they know I'm a huge Star Trek fan. I love the show, love reading the novels and getting deeper into the Rodenberry universe. I love learning about the show, the characters, behind the scenes, the history behind the alien cultures depicted... I've even taken classes at the STARFLEET Academy to learn more.

Yep, I am Commander Angela Spugnardi (OMG she has a pen name!) in the STARFLEET Fan Organization, I run the college of Genealogy and assist with the college of Communications and just received my Boothby Award for completing over two hundred academy courses.

Still not impressed by my nerd credentials? That's ok, I don't need your adoration (LOVE ME!), I have my love and devotion forever tattooed on my arm.

So when I say, as a living, breathing Trekkie, that Night of the Living Trekkies was fanastic, you know I'm telling my honest opinion.

If someone screwed up my Star Trek with horrible books (Shatner) I'd be more than ready to spread my outrage all over social media. (Shatner shat on Star Trek)

Night if the Living Trekkies has so much to like for Star Trek fans and Star Wars fans alike. Let's all get along folks 😉 There are so many references to both franchises that I couldn't help but squeal with delight all the way through. You don't have to be an all out Trek nerd to enjoy this book, yes there are deeper and more nerdy jokes than some may understand if they're not as crazy Trekkie like me, but there is so much to like about this book and so much to still enjoy. And if you don't understand those nerdy references I'm talking about-Go watch more Star Trek! 😉

The chapters are cleverly named after Trek episodes and the curse of the red shirt prevails as the Trekkies test their warrior skills with very real replicated weapons on hordes of Trekkie zombies.

The book is so clever and original in a time inundated with zombie stories. It's a mix of a Star Trek episode with a Resident Evil, super beings twist, only you can actually believe there's a chance of surviving this scenario.

I think I'm going to have to start looking into Quirk Books because this is exactly the kind of read I've been looking for!

Night of the Living Trekkies Quirk Fiction Kevin David Anderson Sam Stall 9781594744631 Books Reviews

I love Star Trek, and if there is a convention involved, I really want to read about it (people watching aside, Bimbos of the Death Sun is a great book!). When I saw the pulpy cover of Quirk Books’Night of the Living Trekkies by Kevin David Anderson and Sam Stall, I was in!

Jim Pike survived 2 tours in Afghanistan, after which he decides to take a job doing something a little less stressful. He gets a job at a hotel, and this weekend, there is a Star Trek convention. All of a sudden, people are acting strangely—they are eating other people! Jim has to get to his sister, meeting some geeks and a slave Leia along the way—outsmarting and overcoming the zombies in his own, resourceful way.

There are lots of geeky and lore-type things in Night of the Living Trekkies. But, anyone into a good zombie story would find this to be a fun read.

Writers Kevin David Anderson and Sam Stall create a very filmic story. Something I could easily see on Syfy or some cable network—either as something serious or in a pulpy style similar to the cover.

I really enjoyed this book and I think it provides a welcome escape for any reader.

I picked this up electronically, but it can also be picked up in trade paperback from your favorite retailer.

*Note, this was read and reviewed in 2014, but was not published recently, hence the #retroreview tag!
I really liked this. It was a pretty quick read loaded with Star Trek and Star Wars references. I found the fact that the chapter titles were Star Trek episode titles was pretty funny as well. The book doesn't go too deep into most of the characters other than Jim (the main character) so you really don't care too much for the secondary characters (well 2 others but I don't want to give away too much). The book goes all out outlandish towards the end of the book but isn't a zombie outbreak outlandish enough? Add in the fact it is at a Trekfest and well you get the idea.
Do you love Star Trek? Do you enjoy zombie stories? If so, you'll enjoy this book. What starts out as a Trek convention turns into a zombie apocalypse. Our hero, Jim Pike (get it? Chris Pike and Jim Kirk combined) is a combat vet struggling with PTSD and guilt. He has an assistant manager job at a second class hotel where the con is taking place. Circumstances bring out the Captain Kirk in him as he and a small band of survivors work to escape the hotel. There are lots of Trek references, especially the original series, my personal favorite. Some reviewers found it annoying, but I enjoyed them. There are a few twists and turns, no spoilers here, but this isn't a complicated plot. There is some humor, and the writing is decent as is the editing. The story is complete, no cliffhangers, and it's a fast read. This was the perfect book for me to read while traveling out of state for my mother's funeral, distracting without requiring much thought. My thanks to the author.
Jim Pike grew up a Trekkie, but two tours in Afghanistan changed him. He had been a decorated officer, but now he was hiding from responsibility. He was a glorified bellhop in an out of the way Houston motel. It's the site of Gulfcon, a large Star Trek convention and the place is packed with costumed Trekkies, including his sister and her friends. Then things start to change. People are getting sick and co-workers walk outside and never return. And there are those stumbling figures in the shadows. Zombies? No way. But it can no longer be denied. Soon Houston has been overwhelmed and only Jim and a handful of Trekkies survive. Well, a handful off Trekkies and Princess Leila, who seems to be in the wrong movie. This is a fun zombie thriller with a thrilling storyline and good characters. All the Star Trek and Star Wars references just add to the fun, without taking away the suspense. For example, the hotel is named the Botany Bay. Anyone who has seen the Wraith of Khan will get the humor. Recommended to all zombie android sci-fi fans.
