Resumen del Editor

In the gripping conclusion to the action-packed "standard bearer" of zombie series, the threat of death is given new life. Benny Imura and his friends have found the jet and Sanctuary - but neither is what they expected. Instead of a refuge, Sanctuary is a hospice, and the soldiers who flew the plane seem to be little more than bureaucrats who have given up hope for humanity's future. With Chong hovering between life and death, clinging to his humanity by a thread, Benny makes a startling discovery: a scientist may have discovered a cure for the zombie plague. Desperate to save Chong, Benny and his friends mount a search and rescue mission. But they're not the only ones on the hunt. The reapers are after the cure too, and they want to use it turn all the zombies into superfast shock troops - and wipe humanity off the face of the earth. In this riveting conclusion to the Rot & Ruin series, the battle to end all battles is just beginning.

I love series characters are great can't wait to read the next one never thought I would read a Zombie series

Fantastic book - redeemed the series for me!

Overall, this series was worth my time and I hope, at the end, you find it to be worth yours. The mental gymnastics of what sacrifice, bravery, and honor truly looks like and their individual costs are brilliantly dissected and fleshed out throughout this series, finishing strikingly with this last book. In many ways, these books struck me harder at the core and gave me philosophical soul food in a way that no other series has in a very long time. While I do have my griefs with Mayberry and plot holes and incomplete thoughts littered all throughout the four books, I'd give this book a solid 9/10 with the full series an 8/10 (the 3rd book almost lost me, but I'm glad I managed to plowed through). Though bittersweet, the ending neatly tied up most of the loose threads littered throughout the series and it ended on a very satisfying note and no real need for a sequel. One personal note I will add is that, book by book, the themes get progressively darker and more religiously philosophical (especially book 3). I'm not sure I'd ever recommend this series to anyone younger than 14... and that honestly still feels too young for me.

tldr; This series is worth your time. Lots of food for thought and a mostly well rounded series. Not for kids under 14.

almost skipped it, so glad i didn’t.

i wasn’t sure i could make it through another in the series, which is solid zombie fare. while the trope feels done to death by number 4, the pull of following joe and grim just a bit further was too much to let go. so glad i did. this was the best of the bunch. the zealots were feeling overdone, but this book actually pulls it all together in the best ways. go for it! great read.

Wonderful, as always!

Next: Bits and Pieces, Broken Lands series, The ones with Dez Fox on first night (I can't think of the name right now..lol) and of course, All the Joe Ledger series. All good. All tied in to this same story. I love them all! Maberry rules. As does Ray Porter, this narrator. Enjoy!

This book made me love and loathe the entire series.

If you’ve made it this far, give it a chance. You won’t regret it. Just know, it’s the rot and ruin. Set your expectations accordingly.

just an amazing read. love this series

it was an amazing, in depth book. I loved all of the references too. ( quickdraw carl)

Great conclusion to a great series

Great book that brings a satisfying end to the series. Brings everything together very nicely.

What a series

I first learned about this book when I stumbled upon the graphic novels on webtoon. I got the physical copy, and it gathered dust for almost two years. Now after finishing with fire and ash a few days after picking them up again. This was a beautiful story, in a very easy way to read and follow. I truly hope that if you've started rot and ruin, you will be wise to continue. looking forward to reading to reading the john ledger series pre-postnight. Johnathan Maberry, thank you for your work, it has spoken to me on a variety of levels and I appreciate you're passion.

Samurai never Die

Nicks should have kept her sword in the final scene.. to symbolize the Samurai she had become. Just my two cents.. great series!!!!

loved it

loved the whole series...the story just pulls you in and the narrator puts so much emotion into the story.....
