For starters, I love the cover graphic, a maniac with a barbed wire club standing over the body of his victim. Eirik’s first book provided evidence for the following quote which begins this exploration into how to survive the worst that might come:
“There is a deep structured, collective unconsciousness-based social angst about the stability and sustainability of modern Western, or now more generally, techno-industrial civilization.”
Eirik’s message is that the Neo-Barbarian will necessarily, “...transcend our fate in acts of cosmic defiance...”
This 90,000 word book is broken into five extensive prepper resource chapters. The plentiful obscure and brutal historic and mythic quotes and the raw humor of the author make Zombie Aopcalypse Part Two even more fun to read than the fact-packed Part One.
Eirik’s use of historical quotes makes for a rollicking read of the footnotes, with entries such as:
“The Gray wolf glares at the homes of the gods”
“...to sleep on the White Bellies of Their Wives and Daughters...”
Eirik sorts out some Asian martial arts right out of the gate, with an eye for the metaphysical elements that normally slip the eye of the Western martial artist. At this point, early in Chapter 1, Eirik presents one of the better guides to sorting through martial arts B.S., right now, not after the meteor hits. In this chapter there is more sound, sceptical attention directed toward the Asian-based martial arts systems in their current commercial form than one would normally find in a book about the subject.
