George R.R. Martin from GoT gets a cameo on Z-Nation.

Nothing is going to stop George R.R. Martin from finishing his Game of Thrones novels!

The bestselling author will have a cameo during the second season of Syfy’s post-apocalyptic thriller Z Nation playing himself as a zombie, EW has exclusively learned.

And as you can see from the photo above and the two others below, Martin is quite undead while signing his own books (and even tries to munch on one brainy copy). The title of Zombie Martin’s book is a fun tease — “A Promise of Spring,” which plays off A Dream of Spring — the expected title of his eventual seventh (and presumably conclusive) novel in his epic A Song of Ice and Fire saga. Currently Martin is working on Book 6, The Winds of Winter.

Declared Martin: “I just want to prove to my fans that even in the Zombie Apocalypse, the Song of Ice and Fire books will still come out!”

1. i saw that

I'm sure some fans will whine that him making a cameo on Z-Nation means he is not writing his books.

4. Why would anyone want to have anything to do with Z Nat?

Zombie-lover here. I'll usually watch anything with zombs., but "Z Nation" is just horrible. The writing, the acting... No thanks. (Can you tell I'm really looking forward to the return of "TWD"?) "Fear the Walking Dead" is helping. Like it.

5. Z-NATION comes across as a zombie spoof.

A laugh within a laugh. Comic book crazy.

But there are some moments for the actors. For example, that actress that plays Roberta had a hilacious moment fighting off a woodland troop of zombies in this last episode. Very believable. like a comic book version of Michonne.

What keeps it interesting is that they are spoofy enough to go where no zombie story has ever gone.

It helps to watch with a glass of your favorite spirits.

6. OK. I'll give it another shot with "parody" in mind nt
