Make no bones about it, I am a HUGE fan of author Jonathan Maberry, especially the world he has created in the Rot & Ruin series. Dead & Gone is a novella within this world that introduces us to a new character Riot and a group of zealots who are attempting to get Riot back to where, in their eyes, she belongs.  Along the way Riot meets some new, dare she say, friends and we learn quite a bit about Riot's past and maybe even a glimpse into her future.I really enjoyed meeting some new characters and, of course, being a part of the rot & ruin again. Dead & Gone is filled with tons of action, both with threat from the gray people aka zoms and with those surviving in the ruin. We learn about a new faction of survivors that we can only assume with be causing Benny Imura and his gang a bit of trouble come Flesh & Bone (book 3) and I cannot wait to find out what leads them to act the way they do.Fairly short review, as I don't want to give away anything, but trust me...if you have read Rot & Ruin and Dust & Decay, you will not want to miss Dead & Gone. I would even go so far as to say if you are curious about this world you could download Dead & Gone as a trial standalone to test the waters, but trust me...you'll be buying the series.
