BOOK II IN THE BLACK TIDE RISING SERIES FROM THE "NEW YORK TIMES"
BEST-SELLING AUTHOR. Sequel to "Under a Graveyard Sky. " A family
of survivors fights back against a zombie plague that has brought
down civilization.
A World Cloaked in Darkness
With human civilization annihilated by a biological zombie plague,
a rag-tag fleet of yachts and freighters known as Wolf Squadron
scours the Atlantic, searching for survivors. Within every
abandoned liner and carrier lurks a potential horde, safety can
"never "be taken for granted, and death and turning into one of the
enemy is only a moment away.
The Candle Flickers
Yet every ship and town holds the flickering hope of survivors. One
and two from lifeboats, a dozen from a fishing village, a few
hundred wrenched by fury and fire from a ship that once housed
thousands...
Light a Flame
Now Wolf Squadron must take on another massive challenge: clear the
assault carrier "USS Iwo Jima "of infected before the trapped
Marines and sailors succumb to starvation. If Wolf Squadron can
accomplish that task, an even tougher trial awaits: an apocalyptic
battle to win a new dawn for humanity. The war for civilization
begins as the boats of the Wolf Squadron become a beacon of hope on
a Darkling Sea.
About the Black Tide Rising Series:
"Not only has Ringo found a mostly unexplored corner of the zombie
landscape, hes using the zombie frame to tackle a broader theme:
the collapse and rebirth of civilization. The zombie scenes are
exciting, sure, but its the human story that keeps us involved. A
fine series.""--Booklist"""

The media calls it the Pacific Flu. The CDC calls it H7D3, and it
spreads like wildfire. The virus combines the worst symptoms of
Rabies and the common Flu, and is suspected to be man-made. The
first reports of feral, cannibalistic “zombie-like” symptoms
were met with disbelief and skeptical amusement, but nobody’s
laughing now. Scientists, backed by the world’s governments and
its wealthiest institutions, race against the clock to develop a
cure as infections rise and cities fall. A glimmer of hope appears
as a vaccine is discovered, but its production requires harvesting
the spinal tissue of the infected, a grim task that tests the
limits of human morality. With no other choices apparent, time is
quickly running out before hordes of infected overwhelm the last
remaining bastions of civilization. In the first days of the
outbreak, a college history professor receives a cryptic warning
from a trusted source. Its baffling, yet unmistakable message
translates as: "PACK UP, GET OUT, AND GO NOW!" Steve Smith and his
family don’t waste any time; they leave their normal, comfortable
lives behind to get ahead of the inevitable panic and survive the
end of the world!
First Contact Was Friendly When aliens trundled a gate to other
worlds into the Solar System, the world reacted with awe, hope, and
fear. The first aliens to come through, the Glatun, turned out to
be peaceful traders, and the world breathed a sigh of re

In the second decade of the twenty-first century the world is
struck by two catastrophes, a new mini-ice age and, nearly
simultaneously, a plague to dwarf all previous experiences. Rising
out of the disaster is the character known to history as "Bandit
Six" an American Army officer caught up in the struggle to rebuild
the world and prevent the fall of his homeland--despite the best
efforts of politicians both elected and military. "The Last
Centurion" is a memoir of one possible future, a world that is a
darkling mirror of our own. Written "blog-style," it pulls no
punches in its descriptions of junk science, bad strategy and
organic farming not to mention all three at once.

planet, get partially wiped out and then load back up again.

Author John Ringo has Signed on with the Bolo Brigade First Time in
Paperback.
When a ruthless political regime seizes power on a world struggling
to recover from alien invasion, a former war hero finds herself
leading a desperate band of freedom fighters. Kafari Khrustinova,
who fought Deng infantry from farmhouses and barns, finds herself
struggling to free her homeworld from an unholy political alliance,
headed by the charismatic and ambitious Vittori Santorini, which
has seduced her young daughter with its propaganda and subverted
the planet's Bolo, using the war machine to crush all political
opposition. To free her homeworld, Kafari must somehow cripple or
kill the Bolo she once called friend. Unit SOL-0045, "Sonny," is a
Mark XX Bolo, self-aware and intelligent. When Sonny's human
commander is forced off-world, Sonny tries to navigate his way
through ambiguous moral and legal issues, sinking into deep
confusion and electronic misery. He eventually faces a dark night
of the soul, with no guarantee that he will understand-let alone
make-the right decision. And caught in the middle of this volatile
battlefield is Yalena Khrustinova, Kafari's young daughter. Will
she open her eyes in time to save herself-and millions of
innocents-or will Santorini's relentless brainwashing campaign
continue to blind her while the tyrant engineers the ultimate
destruction of a helpless and enslaved population?
Prince Roger MacClintock was a spoiled rotten, thoroughly useless
young pain in the butt. But that was before the Royal Brat and his
guards were marooned by an assassination attempt and had to march
half way around the planet. Under the right circumstances, even a
brat can grow up fast, and it turns out that under his spoiled
exterior, Prince Roger is a true MacClintock like his warrior
ancestors.
When an airborne 'zombie' plague is released, bringing civilization
to a grinding halt, the Smith family - Steven, Stacey, Sophia and
Faith - take to the Atlantic to avoid the chaos. The plan is to
find a safe haven from the anarchy of infected humanity. What they
discover, instead, is a sea composed of the tears of survivors and
a passion for bringing hope.

Book Two of the nationally best-selling Troy Rising saga and the
follow-up to "Live Free or Die" from multiple "New York Times "and
"USA Today" bestseller John Ringo. Humans push back against a
galactic empire bent on Earth subjugation and ultimate destruction.
The second entry in the best-selling Troy Rising saga and follow-up
to "Live Free or Die" from multiple "New York Times "and "USA
Today" bestseller John Ringo.
When the orbital gates first materialized in the outer solar
system, all seemed well. And, lo, peaceful traders made first
contact-so whatever came next couldn't be so bad, could it? Yeah,
it could. Very bad. Now humans have battled back from a
Trojan-horse-like conquest by a tyrannical alien species to become
a force to reckon with in the galaxy. On a crash-building course,
we've built a near-impregnable battlestation of Deathstar
proportions to prove it. But the enemy is remorseless and to
survive we must take the fight to our attackers and prevail.
Unfortunatley, the bones and burnt hulks of those who have tried
litter the star-ways. But these galactic imperialists have never
contended with humans, a foe who is their match in sheer ferocity
and desire to win.
