Publisher's summary

A New York Times best-selling author and multiple Bram Stoker Award winner, Marvel Comics writer Jonathan Maberry continues the story he began in Rot and Ruin.

Six months have passed since Benny Imura and Nix Riley learned that flesh-eating zombies aren’t the scariest or most dangerous monsters around. Now, Benny’s brother Tom is training them in the art of zombie whacking. But as they plan to leave and find a better future, a zombie attack puts a crimp in their plans. And soon, they discover an old enemy they believed was long-gone may actually still be alive.

Amazing story!

This second installment is a beautiful work of art. The story is gorgeously written and told in such a captivating way it'll be hard to press the pause button.

Love Jonathan Maberry -

What did you love best about Dust and Decay?

The story itself is good. The narrator was somewhat annoying and ended each sentence on a downward lilt. This made each sentence the same and didn't play up any of the excitement.

What didn’t you like about Brian Hutchison’s performance?

He did not bring the story to life and treated each sentence the same, both for everyday conversation to fight scenes.

No cliff hanger, but interesting.

This is second book I have listened to and plan on listening to the entire series. I like or hate most of the characters, which is good. Zombies are horrible but humans with no consequences are worse. Universal truth shown time and again in this series.
