In the zombie-infested, post-apocalyptic America where Benny Imura lives, every teenager must find a job by the time they turn fifteen—or get their rations cut in half. Benny doesn't want to apprentice as a zombie hunter with his boring older brother Tom, but he has no choice. He expects a tedious job whacking zoms for cash, but what he gets is a vocation that will teach him what it means to be human. Set fourteen years after the zombie outbreak, Rot & Ruin is a gripping coming-of-age story full of action, emotional depth, and ethical dilemmas. As Benny ventures into the vast, dangerous Ruin outside the protected town walls, he uncovers truths that shatter everything he believed about the living—and the dead.
