This series has had me hanging on for the last year or so. Love, love the world that Maberry created. It's an awful situation, but he still finds room to weave in humanity. Heartache with a good dose of hope. Awe. Some. 

Flesh & Bone by Jonathan Maberry
Hardcover, 1st Edition, 448 pages
Expected publication: September 11th 2012 by Simon & Schuster Books For Young Readers

 From Goodreads: 
Reeling from the tragic events 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. They are hunted by fierce animals escaped from zoos and circuses. They must raid zombie-infested towns for food and medical supplies. They discover the very real truth in the old saying: In the Rot & Ruin…everything wants to kill you.

And what is happening to the zombies? Swarms of them are coming from the east, devouring everything in their paths. These zoms are different. Faster, smarter, infinitely more dangerous. Has the zombie plague mutated, or is there something far more sinister behind this new invasion of the living dead?

In Flesh & Bone, Benny Imura, Nix Riley, Lou Chong and Lilah the Lost Girl are pitted against dangers greater than anything they've ever faced. To survive, each of them must rise to become the warriors Tom trained them to be.

I just finished Rot & Ruin a few days ago and loved it! I'm really trying hard not to read the summary as it might contain spoilers. Just had to say great pick! I know I will feature this on my WoW once I finished Dust & Decay. :))
