On October 16, right around the time The Walking Dead Season 3 is going to be starting, we’re going to have the second The Walking Dead novel be released. This is going to be the direct sequel to Rise of the Governor and will show us how the Governor actually rises to power in Woodbury and will further show how exactly he becomes the man that we have seen in the comics and will meet this season on the show.
First came the ground-breaking comic book series.
Then came the record-breaking television show.
Next, the bestselling novel, Rise of the Governor.
Now, having peered into the Governor’s horrific past in the first book, this riveting sequel delves into Philip Blake’s ascension as the leader of Woodbury. But it won’t be easy . . . there are those within this walled-off city who don’t trust Philip or his motives . . . or the strange scratching sounds that come from his apartment.
But Philip Blake is determined to turn Woodbury into a haven from the post-apocalyptic nightmare surrounding Woodbury, and he’ll do whatever necessary to make sure that his vision sees fruition. Even if that means killing the people currently in charge.
