In a post-apocalyptic world where fences and border patrols guard the few people left from the zombies that have overtaken civilization, fifteen-year-old Benny Imura is finally convinced that he must follow in his older brother's footsteps and become a bounty hunter.

Rot & Ruin

Predictable and over dramatic. However, I did enjoy the zombies and some characters.

** spoiler alert **
           Fifteen-year-old Benny Imura comes to grips with the zombie apocalypse that happened when he was a baby -- and with the Rot and Ruin that exists outside the Californian enclave where he grew up in relative safety. Action/adventure and the battle between good and evil.... and a budding romance. Quite gruesome (as you would expect with zombies involved). Age range? Grade 5 and above.

Benny's "family business" -- as run by his older brother Tom -- is to go out and "quiet" zombies (by shoving a silver spike into the base of their brain stem) - and the book ends with Benny accepting the humanity of his brother's work, as the two of them "quiet" their parents.

First of a series...
