Minecraft Novel In The Works By World War Z Author

With the backing of billions from Microsoft, Minecraft's momentum is showing no signs of slowing. The game has support for VR, and allows players to tweak their worlds by using Add-ons. The film has a release date (although it's expected to be released in 2019) and will soon be an official novel. Mojang has confirmed that the forthcoming book called Minecraft: The Island, is being written by none other than Max Brooks, the scribe behind the apocalyptic zombie novel World War Z.

"Think cuboid Robinson Crusoe, but madder she is a hero who is stranded in a foreign country, with unfamiliar rules, learning to survive against tremendous odds," says Mojang's Marsh Davies. "I've looked at an early draft and it's amazing exactly as we imagined it would be."

While it's not known when the book will be published or how it will tie in with the film, it is clear that it will be the first of many. Publishing house Del Rey, a science fiction spin-off from Penguin Random House, is overseeing the entire process. Del Rey has stated that it was "fortunate" to have someone with Max's incredible talent and enthusiasm on board for the series' launch. Games

Parents will likely be responsible for more money, but some will be happy for the fact that Minecraft is expanding its reach into education. Pyramids Minecraft Education Edition will be available to teachers starting on November 1st. The publication of the novel will only increase children's love of reading.
