Soon, the series will expand to the world of novels. A three book series is currently in the works.\u00a0 The first in this trilogy of Walking Dead novels will be <em>The Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor<\/em>. The 320-page novel will tell the story of how  The Governor comes to be such a ruthless figure. The first book will be available October 11th. It&#8217;s written by series scribe Robert Kirkman.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the official synopsis \u2013<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In The 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\u2019s forcing prisoners to battle zombies in an arena for the  townspeople\u2019s amusement, or chopping off the appendages of those who  cross him. The Governor was voted \u201cVillain of the Year\u201d by Wizard  Magazine the year he debuted, and his story arc was the most  controversial arc in the history of The Walking Dead comic book series.  Now, for the first time, fans of The Walking Dead will discover how The  Governor became the man he is, and what drove him to such extremes.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.geekworldordersite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/cover_walking_dead_governor_rise.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6287\" title=\"cover_walking_dead_governor_rise\" src=\"http:\/\/www.geekworldordersite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/cover_walking_dead_governor_rise.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"540\" height=\"813\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.geekworldordersite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/cover_walking_dead_governor_rise.jpg 540w, http:\/\/www.geekworldordersite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/cover_walking_dead_governor_rise-199x300.jpg 199w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Between comics, television, and webisodes, The Walking Dead is becoming a vastly growing well loved franchise.
