I was having a conversation today about how you know you love the first book of a series. An easy way to tell is that if you are only catching on to the series late in the game, you pick up the second book right away!
Jonathan Maberry, man, I like, love you, sniff. I'm really into his books. Why? They've got it all! So much adventure, an epic love story, the baddest of bad guys (and his don't necessarily stay dead, either!) and enough twists that keep you reading until dawn. And I don't say that too often. Please see evidence below. This story is about the Imura brothers (& co.) adventure east. What's east? We don't know. It could be the jet that was sighted during the raid on Charlie Pink-Eye's camp. It could be fewer zombie. It could be a cure. It's definitely the ocean (eventually, anyway). The group has decided to ditch Mountainside in pursuit of greener pastures. What they don't realize is that there is a bounty on THEIR heads this time. (Ahhh, no wonder those bad guys keep popping up everywhere!). I can't wait for the next book in this series to come out. There are just so many places this story could go. Please pick it up after you read Rot & Ruin.
Thanks for those kind words. The second book, DUST & DECAY, is now available. And Benny Imura and his friends will return in FLESH & BONE (September 11, 2012) and FIRE & ASH (2013)
