After a viral zombie apocalypse decimates the world population in 2012, a rural Kentucky city (Elizabethtown) is transformed into a fortress for humanity thanks to the combined efforts of survivors from the region. Taking the name Live-E-town, this survivor enclave stands up a force of contracted Zombie Killer's. Known as ZKs, these resourceful mercenaries defend Live E-town's borders and make war on the undead and human raider bands that inhabit the dangerous Dead Zones. By 2014, Live E-town's ZKs are the dominant living force in the Dead Zones in a hundred mile range. Their offensive operations have pushed a perimeter out five miles into the farmland surrounding the town, diverted and exterminated scores of undead herds, suppressed most of the raider groups, rescued thousands of survivors, and recovered hundreds of tons of survival critical resources. Live E-town is a beacon of hope for mankind's continued existence but survival remains a daily battle, the outcome of which has yet to be determined. The war to take the world back from the undead is only in its initial engagements. The Zombie Killer Handbook stands out as a unique work of fiction in the undead genre for its content and style. Unlike similarly titled books, which are mostly boring re-edited military manuals, the Zombie Killer Handbook is terse, focused, detailed with personal experience, always logical and often darkly funny. This is a guide for offensive operations against the undead written by a pragmatic, knowledgeable combatant. It was published in Live E-town in late 2014 as a training manual for new recruits to the contract ZK force. It is a collection of essays written by a well known and highly regarded ZK on the equipment, weapons, tactics, missions and threats in the Dead Zones. The last few pages are illustrated with ZK recruiting posters which reveal the origin of this imaginative book. It was written as a companion text for a series of competitive shooting events done by www.ZombieShooti
