      Joe Flood est un Américain bien tranquille. Il a servi les couleurs de son pays au Vietnam, sort régulièrement avec sa petite amie, et exerce un métier d'un bon rapport. Mais le métier en question n'est pas tout à fait comme les autres, Joe Flood est un tueur professionnel. Comme il a fait carrière en n'éliminant que des individus qui le méritaient bien, sa profession ne lui pose aucun problème. Ce qui lui en pose, c'est son estomac. Des maux parfois intolérables, qui le poussent à consulter. Ce n'est pas un ulcère, lui explique le médecin, mais une leucémie. Joe n'a plus que quelque mois à vivre... Refusant de mourir à petit feu sur un lit d'hôpital, le tueur à gages décide donc de devancer l'appel et lance sur lui-même un contrat de six millions de dollars. Les meilleures spécialistes mondiaux de l'élimination se disputent l'honneur de l'effacer : un as du pic à glace, un Cajun lanceur de couteaux, des jumeaux de la mafia sicilienne, une sculpturale Noire, un japonais expert en arts martiaux, flingueurs en tous genres venus de tous les horizons... Joe a de quoi se sentir flatté, jusqu'au jour où son médecin le rappelle pour l'informer d'une petite erreur. Il n'est pas condamné. Il a de beaux jours devant lui. Le problème est réglé. Réglé ? Pas vraiment. Car on n'annule pas un contrat de ce genre. Une haletante comédie noire, qui fait penser par plus d'un aspect à Pulp Fiction, servie à merveille par un style sec et musclé. A ne pas prendre au sérieux, sinon comme un sérieux divertissement, commentait le Times de Londres.

The Walking Dead original novel series, set in the universe of Robert Kirkman's iconic comic book, continues with The Fall of the Governor – Part One . From co-authors Kirkman, creator of the Eisner Award-winning comic as well as executive producer of AMC's blockbuster TV series, and Jay Bonansinga, Stoker Award-finalist and internationally acclaimed author, comes the gripping third novel in this richly woven, page-turning literary saga, which began with The Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor . In Rise of the Governor , uber-villain Philip Blake journeyed from his humble beginnings directly into the dark heart of the zombie apocalypse, and became the self-proclaimed leader of a small town called Woodbury. In The Road to Woodbury , an innocent traveler named Lilly Caul wound up in the terrifying thrall of Phillip Blake’s twisted, violent dictatorship within Woodbury’s ever tightening barricades. And now, in The Fall of the Governor – Part One , the Governor’s descent into madness finally erupts in a tour de force of action and horror. Beloved characters from the comic book, including Rick, Michonne and Glenn, finally make their entrance onto this nightmarish stage, and fans of The Walking Dead will see these characters in a whole new light. Simmering grudges boil over into unthinkable confrontations, battle lines are drawn, and unexpected twists seal the fates of the innocent and guilty alike.

      The bestselling start of the original Walking Dead series, now in mass market! In Robert Kirkman's Walking Dead universe, there is no greater villain than The Governor. The despot who runs the walled-off town of Woodbury, he has his own sick sense of justice: whether it's forcing prisoners to battle zombies in an arena for the townspeople's amusement, or chopping off the appendages of those who cross him. The Governor was voted "Villain of the Year" by Wizard magazine the year he debuted, and his story arc was the most controversial in the history of the Walking Dead comic book series. Now, for the first time, fans of The Walking Dead will discover The Governor's origins and just how he became the man he is, and what drove him to such extremes.
