In a bleak, zombie-ridden future, a small settlement fights for survival and looks to a teenager to lead them…The
land is contaminated, electronics are defunct, the ravenous undead
remain, and life has fallen into a nasty and brutish state of nature.
Welcome to Bridge City, in what was once Arkansas: part medieval
fortress, part Western outpost, and the precarious last stand for
civilization. A ten-year-old prodigy when the world ended, Gus is now a
battle-hardened young man. He designed Bridge City to protect the living
few from the shamblers eternally at the gates. Now he’s being groomed
by his physician mother, Lucy, and the gentle giant Knock-Out to become
the next leader of men. But an army of slavers is on its way, and the
war they wage for the city’s resources could mean the end of mankind as
we know it. Can Gus be humanity’s savior? And if he is, will it mean
becoming a dictator, a martyr, or maybe something far worse than even
the zombies?

Oooh this looks awesome! I hate the zombie cliche, but I really enjoyed Feed and Deadlands (the novel), so I'm learning that there is such a thing as a good zombie novel. Yay!
