Reboots - Stellar Guild, Vol 2 Author:Cody Martin, Mercedes Lackey, Mike Resnick (Editor) Space travel is tough. No air, cosmic radiation, absolute lack of other life-sustaining essentials. What better way to deal with space travel than to man ships with creatures that regenerate or don't need air, or are immune to various maladies? In a future world where zombies, vampires and werewolves co-exist with 'normal' huma... more »ns on Earth, these ships are staffed by a motley crew of various types of undead or near-dead creatures. Of course no one really knows what happens when zombies and vampires are squeezed together in the close confines of a spaceship. Don't you love surprises?
The Stellar Guild series #2. Each book in the series pairs an established (normally best-selling) author with a newer or less well known author of the veteran author’s choice. The series aims to help introduce lesser known authors to a wider audience by pairing them up with bestsellers who have an established fan base. It also provides newer writers another much needed venue to sell their short fiction.

I don't like stories about zombies and I couldn't put this one down. Even better, zombies and other paranormals in space. I totally recommend reading it.
