Trivia

  • The second part  of the novel will show the fate of the remaining Woodbury soldiers that survived the prison assault and took refuge in the prison.
  • Robert Kirkman has revealed that for the third novel (October 2013) we shall be seeing Rick, Michonne and some of the other characters that you haven't seen in the novel series thus far. Kirkman also stated that the ending of the 3rd novel would roughly be the same story from the comic series, but told from the Governors point of view. In the final release of part 1 this shows to be not entirely correct as there are many points in the book focusing on Lilly Caul, Caesar Martinez, Bruce, Gabe, Bob Stookey, and a new character Austin Ballard, all told from a 3rd person narrative, not 1st person from the Governors point of view as previously stated.
  • Although no official word from Kirkman, it was revealed through an Amazon.com listing that the novel would be split into two parts.
  • The Book will be released both in hardcover, Kindle and an audio version read by Fred Berman.
  • There appear to be numerous continuity errors present in part 1 of Fall of the Governor. Namely, it's stated early in the book that just over 2 years have passed since the dead started walking when it has actually been just under 1 year. Also it's stated that during the Governors torture at the hands of Michonne, the power drill is used on his left shoulder when in the comics it's shown to be his right shoulder.
