Brand new adventures set in the world of Rot & Ruin! Written by NY Times best-selling author and multiple Bram Stoker award-winner, Jonathan Maberry, this all-new storyline continues events from the award-winning series of novels. In Rot & Ruin: Warrior Smart we meet Benny, Nix, Lilah and Chong as they travel through the Sierra Nevada mountains just one faltering step ahead of zombie hordes and one giant leap behind the plane flying through the sky that set them on their journey of discovery.[/quote]
[quote=« Jonathan Maberry »]The « Rot & Ruin » stories take place fourteen years after the zombie apocalypse. The dead rose, we fell. Now there are seven billion wandering zombies and thirty thousand humans living in fenced towns along the Sierra Nevadas.
The story focuses on fifteen-year-old Benny Imura and his friends. These kids grew up after the end of the world, so it wasn’t their world that collapsed. They don’t share the same PTSD as all the grown-ups, nor do they feel as depressed or defeated. They intend to have lives, to grow up and to make something of their world. But – there are still those zombies.[/quote]

“Warrior Smart,” conclusion! Benny and Chong are exiled from the farm–without weapons and surrounded by zombies. Nix and Lilah are prisoners, and if Farmer John gets his way, they’ll live their lives in a terrible kind of slavery. How far are four teens willing to go to save those they love? Maberry and Vargas bring the four young samurai to the brink of madness, where every choice is a bad choice and the hungry dead are at the door.[/quote]
