Publisher's summary

Gutsy Gomez's danger-filled journey to save those infected with the zombie plague continues in New York Times best-selling author Jonathan Maberry's terrifying follow-up to Broken Lands.

Gabriella "Gusty" Gomez lost her mother, and now she's losing her home.

Gutsy and her friends, along with Benny and his crew, have just survived a massive attack on New Alamo by the Night Army - a mix of mindless shambling los muertos and sentient half-zombie ravagers. She's also reeling from the revelation that the residents of her town were the lab rats of the biological testing facility linked to creating the most dangerous zom, the Raggedy Man, who controls all of the living dead.

And the first raid was only a test. The real Night Army is coming, and this time, it'll be a handful of survivors against seven billion zombies.

Best One Yet

This is the best volume of the Rot & Ruin and Broken Lands series. These series (Rot & Ruin and Broken Lands) bring together the best of the Joe Ledger series, Rot & Ruin series, Dead of Night series, and the Pine Deep trilogy. This book brings it all home.

A slightly less “adult” version of Joe Ledgers world!

So I’ve read all of these books. To say they are “young adult” is a misnomer. They are all brilliantly composed and brilliantly read. Yes, it’s about kids. But it’s more than that. Adventure, fighting, life and death and yes love. Plus we have a few great dogs to enjoy and Mr Ledger and crew in the background. Speaking of backgrounds there is a backstory that ties in with Joe and the team that travels through the years. It’s so well done. Except that I want more! More of Joe (of course) his in between years. We can’t get much more of the kids but their story could move forward. Mr Mayberry. Make it so, please. Some more young Joe, spec ops Joe, Joe and HIS family (so tantalizing) and following him through other eyes like Lost Roads. And if Ray doesn’t narrate them all? I will curse you. Not a demonic curse, or a witch curse but I will figure out something.

Gutsy and the Gang

Jonathan Maberry never ceases to deliver compelling stories with immersive writing. Great addition to the saga of Gutsy and her friends. I'm an avid Joe Ledger fan and appreciated how in this book he is handing a bit of the baton to Gutsy to step into her leadership role. This book balances a lot of action scenes with deep character examination. Thank you to Maberry and the always phenomenal Ray Porter for transporting me into the wastelands.

Perfect completion of the series

if you're a fan of Maberry but you have only dove in to the Rot and Ruin series you really should take a deep breath and dedicate the next year or so on reading everything else he's written. Start with Patient Zero and meet Joe Ledger before he was even in Echo Team... read through the whole series and learn who Joe is, who his team is, why they do what they do and why they're the best there are... don't miss the collections if short stories and other side books and be happy because there are many more stories to be told there... somewhere as you're working through this, if you need a slight change, pick up Dead of Night... the first of four books in that chain and read about First Night and the people of Stebbins who tried to stop it... about the king of the Dead and the crazy but all too possible way the pandemic spread... follow that series as it progresses into the first year or two following the fall... you'll see a few friends along the way through there... then go back and start Rot and Ruin over from the first page and read through it all... again, don't miss the side stories... bits and pieces and, if you can get a copy, warrior smart (graphic novel side story of Benny and the crew)... take a breath and then move on and read Broken Lands again... finally one more read through Lost Roads... the absolute perfection of the interwoven tale that takes place across decades and ties all together and comes to the most perfect ending is nothing short of a masterpiece.

and when you're done with all that... go find the Pine Deep series and the V-wars serries and enjoy the hell out of those as well...

thank you Mr Maberry for each word you write to help get us through each day.
