This very talented writer has delivered an incredibly powerful zombie-dystopian novel that's both full of action and yet surprisingly touching too. Rot and Ruin was his first in this series and was incredibly well received so if you've yet to read it then start with that title or you'll be missing out but don't miss Dust & Decay , his second.
Beny Imura is back. As with the first book in this great series, Dust & Decay is an action adventure read that never lets up. Readers will find themselves once more immersed in Benny's world and gripped from the first line.

It's also six months since Benny Imura and Nix Riley saw something that changed their lives. Now, after months of rigorous training, Benny, his zombie-hunter brother Tom and a few other friends are ready to leave their home forever and search for a better future. But everything that can possibly go wrong does.
And not everyone in Benny's small band of travellers will make it out alive.
