The Tribe and I Have Spoken: The Definitive (Unofficial) Lore and Legacy from the Game's Smartest Surviving Loser

The ultimate (unofficial) Survivor book for fans from the contestant-turned-host of Rob Has a Podcast.

Rob Cesternino has probably talked more Survivor than any other person on the planet. After playing in Survivor: The Amazon and All-Stars, Rob built a community amongst Survivor's online fans with Rob Has a Podcast. Now, this foremost scholar of the show takes readers from the beaches of Borneo on the first season all the way to the landmark fiftieth season. This cleverly illustrated ode to the show includes "The Heroes and Villains Hall of Fame," the greatest "Watercooler Watershed Moments" in the show's history, and Rob's "Ultimate Survivor Playbook" (no refunds) to winning that million-dollar prize.

Whether you're a superfan or a first timer, The Tribe and I Have Spoken is a must-read celebration for anyone who counts themselves as part of this passionate tribe of fans from around the world.
