Wesley Chu to Write "Walking Dead" Novel Set in China

Taiwanese American science fiction author Wesley Chu has agreed to write Walking Dead: Typhoon, expanding the franchise started by Robert Kirkman into a Chinese setting. The book should be ready for publication by 2020, according to publisher Skybound Books as quoted in The Hollywood Reporter. Skybound editor-in-chief Sean Mackiewicz told The Hollywood Reporter that Chu's work will be much sought after as it will answer a question that fans--and characters--of the AMC television show have been wondering about for quite some time: “What’s happening to the rest of the world?" Mackiewicz noted that having as talented a writer as Chu throw his imagination into The Walking Dead universe with talented authors like Wesley Chu will allow Kirkman's dark vision to become "an even greater global phenomenon than ever before!” This is really something to look forward to.
