Broken Lands is Jonathan Maberry’s return to the post-apocalyptic world he created in the Rot and Ruin series, but with a new cast of characters and a different setting. The duology begins with Broken Lands in 2018 and continues with Lost Roads in 2020, following a new group of young survivors navigating a dangerous wasteland.

While set in the same zombie-ravaged world as the Benny Imura books, the Broken Lands series works as a standalone story. It expands the geography and lore of the post-apocalypse while introducing fresh threats and challenges for its protagonists.
