Summary from book jacket:
In the zombie-infested world Benny has grown up in, teenagers must work once they turn fifteen- or they'll lose their food rations. Benny isn't interested in taking on the family business, but he reluctantly agrees to train as a zombie killer with his boring big brother, Tom. He expects a dull job, whacking zombies for cash. What he discovers is a vocation that will teach him what it really means to be human.
As his worldview is challenged again and again by the lessons he learns from Tom, Benny is forced to confront another horrifying reality: Sometimes the most terrible monsters are human.
This book came into my hands via strong recommendations from a couple of students (Kaelan etc.). As some of you already know, I'm a big scaredy pants and have only read one or two zombie books (are zombies the new vampires?) but those couple I have read have definately kept me entertained (probably more than any vampire book!) so I guess I'll be needing to try Rot & Ruin out. The reviews I've been seeing support what I've been hearing so I think I have another one to add TBR stack.
Here's an interview with Joanthan Maberry.
