“‘Shock and Awe’? Perfect name. . . . But what if the enemy can’t be shocked and awed? Not just won’t, but biologically can’t! That’s what happened that day outside New York City, that’s the failure that almost lost us the whole damn war. The fact that we couldn’t shock and awe Zack boomeranged right back in our faces and actually allowed Zack to shock and awe us! They’re not afraid! No matter what we do, no matter how many we kill, they will never, ever be afraid!”Official Website

The star of the recording is Mark Hamill, who has had a long career as a voice actor since his Luke Skywalker days. Here, he's a tired and sardonic but far from jaded U.S. Army soldier who recounts two very different battles against zombie hordes. One is a complete fiasco early on, while the other is a success built on the lessons of that experience.
