ROT & RUIN (2014)

"'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."

"Faced with the terrible realities of Farmer John's community, Benny, Nix, Lilah and Chong know they have to escape. But they are caught between guards armed with assault weapons on one side of the fence, and an endless legion of zombies on the other. There's a saying in their world: 'In the Rot & Ruin, everything wants to kill you.' NY Times best-selling author and multiple Bram Stoker award-winner, Jonathan Maberry and artist Tony Vargas ratchet up the action as Benny and his friends are forced to make terrible choices in order to survive."
