In the beginning, Benny Imura hates two things: his half brother, Tom, and zombies, or "zoms."? Benny was just 18 months old on "First Night,"? the night that people began turning into zombies, but he remembers the night well. His father was a zombie, and his mother handed Benny off to Tom and told Tom to run. Ever since, Benny has thought of Tom as a coward for running instead of saving his mom. Now Benny is 15, and he must find a job, or his rations will be cut off. Will he be able to get along with Tom enough to follow in his footsteps and become a bounty hunter, or will he have to find a different job? This is a great story that isn't just about zombies attacking and hunting the zombies. It's about human nature, and how some people will step up and become heroes, while others will always be evil, even after a zombie apocalypse.
