Annotation:  Benny Imura begins apprenticing with his brother in the family business, zombie killing.  He starts to realize that killing zombies is not all there is to the job.

Booktalk:
"Benny Imura couldn't hold a job, so he took to killing.  It was the family business."  Life is not what Benny Imura thought it was.  Sure there's zombies (zoms), survivors and bounty hunters, but when he begins apprenticing with his brother Tom he is taken beyond the fence into the Rot & Ruin.  Out there he begins to see the reality he never considered.  Bounty hunting is not what he thought it was, zoms aren't what he thought they were either, and Tom is most certainly not who Benny thought he was.  Can Benny and Tom survive the zombies and worse in the Rot & Ruin?
