Dove sono? Chi sono? E perché tutto ciò che mi circonda è fatto di blocchi?" Queste le domande di un naufrago che approda su un'isola misteriosa, dove il paesaggio e le creature che lo popolano gli appaiono interamente costituiti da forme squadrate. Un mondo stupefacente e pieno di insidie dove la priorità è trovare del cibo. La seconda è non diventare cibo per le altre creature che si aggirano nell'isola, come lo zombi che si fa vivo appena cala la notte, i creeper esplosivi e gli scheletri armati. Senza alcun aiuto a parte alcuni strumenti improvvisati e i saggi consigli di un amico improbabile: una mucca. In questo mondo non sempre le regole hanno un senso, ma il coraggio e la fantasia la fanno da padroni. Ci sono foreste da esplorare, tunnel sotterranei da saccheggiare e masse di non morti da sconfiggere. Solo allora il segreto dell'isola potrà essere rivelato. Età di lettura: da 10 anni.

Comincia in uno sperduto paesino della Cina. E subito dilaga in tutto il mondo. La piaga, la peste ambulante, l'epidemia. La guerra degli zombi. Creature mostruose che contagiano e fagocitano il nostro pianeta, la nostra casa. I sopravvissuti sono pochi. Una storia irreale? Il semplice parto della fantasia di uno scrittore? Forse. Max Brooks, con l'artificio di una raccolta di interviste "sul campo", dà vita a un affresco in cui le tante e diverse voci ricreate e animate in questo libro parlano di guerra, sofferenza e solitudine, ma anche di speranza, coraggio e nobiltà.
