Zombies?...Really?...
This is a pleasantly predictable post-apocalyptic novel. Something has caused the dead to reanimate as zombies - zombies who feed on humans, turning them, in turn, into zombies. Humans have barricaded themselves into a safe town without electricity and its comforts. Guards are stationed to turn back occasional zombie attacks. Bounty hunters frequently make excursions into the Rot & Ruin to capture and kill zombies. Benny Imura's brother, Tom, is a bounty hunter, but a different breed. He provides closure to zombie families by ending the life of zombie with respect and compassion. Tom & Benny chase bounty hunters into the wild who have killed humans in the town. They find the Lost Girl, foil a plot to staff Gameland, see a jet (!?)....
Great adventure story, even with the zombies...Great themes...Some questionable language.
