Dust and Decay / Jonathan Maberry / 519 pages / December Challenge Apocalyptic Literature

The Apocalypse is now.  Seven billion people are dead.  There is no military and no police.  Zombies terrorize the survivors.  Tom Imura, a bounty hunter, has decided to take his brother, Ben, and his friends Nix, Lilah, and Chong on a grueling trip in search of the airplane they had seen at the end of Rot and Ruin.  Tom decides that a short practice camping trip would be a good idea.  The trip turns deadly.  Gameland has been reopened and teenagers are once again being forced to battle the zombies.  This book reads reminiscent of adventure, action-packed westerns.  Lots of battle scenes, heroic action, and hero mentality make Dust and Decay a must read!!
