LOS ANGELES, June 17, 2020 – Max Brooks, #1 New York Times bestselling author of World War Z, will conduct a live virtual Q&A with fans discussing his new book Devolution: A Firsthand Account of the Rainier Sasquatch Massacre, published by Del Rey Books, on Saturday, June 20, at 1 p.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT, as part of Wizard World Virtual Experiences, presented by Wizard Entertainment, Inc.

The Q&A is a precursor to Brooks’s virtual book signing, also on Wizard World Virtual Experiences platforms, on Saturday, July 11, at 1 p.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT, during which fans can chat with Max as he signs their personalized bookplate, suitable for inclusion in Devolution or any of Max’s other works.

This marks the first Virtual Book Signing added to the Wizard World Virtual Experiences series. Fans should check www.wizardworldvirtual.com for additions to the programming schedule.
Part survival narrative, part bloody horror tale, part scientific journey into the boundaries between truth and fiction, Devolution is a Bigfoot story as only Max Brooks could chronicle it—and like none you’ve ever read before.
As a best-selling author, Brooks (https://www.maxbrooks.com/) is credited with helping propel zombie-lore from niche sub-culture fascination to mainstream pop-culture obsession. While Brooks has published three massively successful zombie-themed books—The Zombie Survival Guide, World War Z, and The Zombie Survival Guide: Recorded Attacks (all of which are now considered the definitive tomes for the genre)—Brooks’ ultimate goal was to challenge old ways of thinking and encourage mental agility and flexibility for problem solvers and leaders. Brooks’ unique, unconventional thinking depicted in his books has even inspired the U.S. military to examine how they may respond to potential crises in the future. World War Z was read and discussed by the sitting Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and Brooks has been invited to speak at a variety of military engagements—from the Naval War College, to the FEMA hurricane drill at San Antonio, to the nuclear “Vibrant Response” wargame.
Pricing varies by item for the individual chat, video and autographs, available on the Website.
