Flesh & Bone

Rot & Ruin Series, Book 3

By: Jonathan Maberry

Narrated by: Brian Hutchison

Reeling from the devastation of Dust & Decay, Benny Imura and his friends plunge deep into the zombie-infested wastelands of the great Rot & Ruin. Benny, Nix, Lilah, and Chong journey through a fierce wilderness that was once America, searching for the jet they saw in the skies months ago. If that jet exists, then humanity itself must have survived somewhere.

Finding it is their best hope for having a future and a life worth living.But the Ruin is far more dangerous than any of them can imagine. Fierce animals hunt them. They come face to face with a death cult. And then there' s the zombies - swarms of them coming from the east, devouring everything in their paths. And these zoms are different.

Faster, smarter, and infinitely more dangerous. Has the zombie plague mutated, or is there something far more sinister behind this new invasion of the living dead? One thing Benny and his companions can' t afford to forget: In the great Rot & Ruin, everything wants to kill you.

Awesome addition to a great story

well mayberry does a great job with this third book keeping things interesting with new enemies new problems and new badasses ( well mostly new )

About time!

I was waiting forever for the audio release. I even wrote Jonathan Maberry to find out when it was coming out and told me it wasn't, my hopes were dashed in ever finishing the story. Well, it was a welcomed surprise to see it one day sitting in the pre-order section.

This story fills outs the questions from the first two books, but opens more up at what will happen in next book. In this book we find a death cult group and learn about new types of zombies. Not to spoil anything, but if you have read other Maberry books, a certain character pops up in the middle of this one. That put a big ol' smile on my face.

From the sounds of it, the next book will be the last one.

wait, but..

Why does Joe Ledger say they probably will never know how the plague starts? Joe talked to Des and Billy he knows what went down for real.

I was waiting for the big reveal but never got it!

I started with Broken Lands, then went through the Rot and Ruin series. Then I realised Dead of Night was the beginning so I started there!
Now I'm working my way through the complete tale and just noticed this one bit that doesn't seem to fit.

Love it otherwise !

Author's note says it all.

This book shows another aspect of a warrior that many forget about. This book is a little repetitive to reflect some of the previous books. Still enjoyable and teachable.

love it

This series gets better and better with each book. I can't wait for what's next in store
