Zombie Fight Night: Battles of the Dead

by A.P. Fuchs

In 2027 A.D., the Zombie Apocalypse took the world by storm and no one was prepared. Countless lives were lost as humanity battled to regain control of their planet. Eventually, they did, and out of the ashes of fallen civilization rose a new world, one bent on revenge against the hordes of the undead that took everything from them. Enter Tony Sterpanko, entrepreneur extraordinaire who found a way to capitalize on humanity's thirst for vengeance against the zombie. He created Zombie Fight Night, a worldwide craze where the undead men and women who remained from the apocalypse faced off against people and beings that once existed on Earth or were existing for the first time. It is ten years later and at Blood Bay Arena, fortunes are won and lost. Men are made millionaires over night. Others are not so lucky and find themselves broken and destitute. Mick Chelsey is one such man: gambling addict, lousy husband and Zombie Fight Night fanatic. Except now, in order to still watch the fights and try to win back all he's lost, he needs to bet fast and big otherwise death will come for him. Let the battles begin. Zombies fight Bigfoot, werewolves, vampires, Axiom-man, Bruce Lee, samurai, kickboxers, robots and more in this ode to blood-and-guts action from Blood of the Dead author, A.P. Fuchs.

Reviews

[Heather · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book got the rating I gave it because you get exactly what the title says. There's no deeper meaning. It's basically a series of vignettes of zombies fighting other things, including robots, werewolves and samurai. It is exactly what you expect.

[Antonio Marchena · Rating 5 out of 5]

The title of this book, "Zombie Fight Night: Battles of the Dead", tells you exactly what you will find in this enjoyable volume by Mr. Fuchs. This action packed novel gives you the front row seat to witness some of the confrontations that all good fantasy and horror geeks have argued about for decades: Zombies, a werewolf, Big Foot, a wrestler, a ninja, a super hero, a vampire... even Bruce Lee is in the fray! The fights are knitted by a really interesting storyline that carries you along this crazy event.

Place your bets, it's show time!

Well zombies are cool, and I liked that they had two distinct types shamblers and sprinters, I also liked, the fights, but the main character was weak and insipid, who seemed to take beating after beating and still walk around. Still excellent action scenes

[Mowgli Olenason · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fight club meets ninjas, pirates, sumo wrestlers, WWF, UFC, wrapped in a rotting layer of zombie flesh. This is a brilliant B movie waiting to happen. Too oddball and corny to not be enjoyable.

[Bill Turner · Rating 4 out of 5]

Pleasant easy going Zombie fights with a little drama tossed in.
