Cari has reviewed this book, so I won't go into great detail, but this was truly outstanding. This covers life after "First Night", a night when something set off the zombie plague. Some survivors have banded together in small conclaves, and some live alone in the Rot & Ruin, what the wilderness is now called. Benny, a 15-year-old is forced to become a zombie bounty hunter apprentice to his brother Tom, who he considers a coward. Everything Benny thinks he knows is challenged after he goes into the Rot & Ruin with Tom.
This is one of the best zombie books I've read, weaving a coming of age theme with what makes a hero, and the thought that power corrupts. I can see now why my 15-year-old loved it.
