STORIES SET IN JOHN RINGO'S BEST-SELLING BLACK TIDE RISING SERIES. The zombie apocalypse is here in these all-new stories from John Ringo, Sarah A. Hoyt, Michael Z. Williamson, Jody Lynn Nye, Travis S. Taylor, and many more. Sequel to the best-selling anthology Black Tide Rising.

Civilization has fallen. Everyone who survived the plague lived through the Fall, that terrible autumn when life as they had known it ended in blood and chaos.

Nuclear attack submarines facing sudden and unimaginable crises. Paid hunters on a remote island suddenly cut off from any hope of support. Elite assassins. Never-made-it retirees. Bong-toting former soldiers. There were seven and a half billion stories of pain and suffering, courage, hope and struggle crying out from history: Remember us.

These are their stories. These are the Voices of the Fall.

About Black Tide Rising:
“. . . an entertaining batch of . . . action-packed tales. Certainly, fans of Ringo’s particular brand of action-adventure will be pleased.”—Booklist

"This anthology broadens Ringo’s Black Tide world, serving up doses of humanity amid the ravenous afflicted. Comedy has a place in this harsh reality, and these stories stir adventure and emotion at a frantic clip throughout. Zombie fiction fans will be thrilled."—Library Journal

About the Black Tide Rising Series:
“Not only has Ringo found a mostly unexplored corner of the zombie landscape, he's 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

About Under a Graveyard Sky:
“Ringo combines humor and horror in this strong series debut, the thinking reader’s zombie novel.”—Publishers Weekly

About John Ringo:
“[Ringo’s work is] peopled with three-dimensional characters and spiced with personal drama as well as tactical finesse.”—Library Journal

“. . . Explosive. . . . Fans . . . will appreciate Ringo’s lively narrative and flavorful characters.”—Publishers Weekly

“. . . practically impossible not to read in one sitting . . . exceedingly impressive . . . executed with skill, verve, and wit.”—Booklist

About the Author

John Ringo brings fighting to life. He is the creator of the Posleen Wars series, which has become a New York Times best-selling series with more than one million copies in print. The series contains A Hymn Before Battle, Gust Front, When the Devil Dances, Hell’s Faire, and Eye of the Storm. In addition, Ringo has penned the Council War series. Adding another dimension to his skills, Ringo created nationally best-selling techno-thriller novels about Mike Harmon (Ghost, Kildar, Choosers of the Slain, Unto the Breach, and A Deeper Blue). His techno-thriller The Last Centurion was also a national bestseller. A more playful twist on the future is found in novels of the Looking-Glass series: Into the Looking Glass, Vorpal Blade, Manxome Foe, and Claws That Catch, the last three in collaboration with Travis S. Taylor. His audience was further enhanced with four collaborations with fellow New York Times best-selling author David Weber: March Upcountry, March to the Sea, March to the Stars, and We Few. There are an additional seven collaborations from the Posleen series: The Hero, written with Michael Z. Williamson, Watch on the Rhine, Yellow Eyes, and The Tuloriad, all written with Tom Kratman, and the New York Times bestseller Cally’s War and its sequels Sister Time and Honor of the Clan, all with Julie Cochrane. His science-based zombie apocalypse Black Tide Rising series includes Under a Graveyard Sky, To Sail a Darkling Sea, Islands of Rage and Hope, and Strands of Sorrow. A veteran of the 82nd Airborne, Ringo brings firsthand knowledge of military operations to his fiction.

Gary Poole has worked in the entertainment and publishing industry for his entire adult life. He's worked directly with John Ringo on more than a dozen novels and has adapted several of them into screenplays (all of which remain in development). When not working with Ringo, Poole is the managing editor of a successful alternative newsweekly in Tennessee. He spent years on the radio as a talk show host and is an award-winning broadcast journalist.

Another good read

Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2019

An interesting collection of stories from the early days of the H7D3 "Zombie" Plague. None of the stories were as depressing as some in the original "Black Tide Rising" anthology but there were some times reading that I thought
"Damn, human beings can be dumb AND greedy." I was a bit disappointed that there were no stories dealing with either Wolf Squadron or any of the main character, though they (Seawolf, Shewolf, Walker) are mentioned in several of the tales.
Overall a good read. If you're a fan of the series, as I am, you do need to read the book. I am awaiting the sequel to to "The Valley of Shadows" to learn more of the fate of Thomas Smith and the Bank of the Americas crew. Now I just have to make it till July 2nd.............................

International Theme due to Various Settings

Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2019

Verified Purchase

Another solid anthology in the series. All the stories were good and I liked that some of them took place outside the United States, including the International Space station and the Indian Ocean. I have not read much fiction, if any, that takes in Portugal. The setting for Sarah Hoyt’s story Storming the Tower of Babel. The varied settings of the stories made the book very fun to read. Other stories I really liked were Mike Massa’s Spectrum. I work with Developmentally Disabled adults and I had no problem believing Enoch would behave as depicted in the story. Inhale to the King by Michael Z, Williamson has some nice humor and is a nice change of pace for him. I really enjoyed Return to Mayberry by Rob Hampson and Alpha Gamers by Griffin Barber just because. I enjoy stories about Bigfoot so The Species as Big as the Ritz by Robert Buettner appealed to me. Some people did not like the ending to the Killer Awoke by John Birminham but I thought it was a perfect ending. Leaves the door open to a follow up story or maybe even a novel. Books about zombies is not what I usually read. The Black Tide series is the only zombie series I have read so far.

Ringo's original books were better…

Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2019

Verified Purchase

…but these stories are pretty good. Faith and the rest of the Smith family get some mention in several stories (Faith mostly) but make no actual appearances. I think most of the writers are different this time from what the Black Tide Rising anthology had in it. Ringo was at his best in the 4 books that started this off, did all right with the first anthology, his only contribution here is his weakest. I thought a couple of stories were like sequels to stories in the first anthology but different authors.
One of the best stories this time around, "It might just matter in the end", by Travis S. Taylor tells the story of the astronauts rescued in Islands of Rage and Hope, but from the NASA side of things. It's pretty good but I think the author got a few details a little bit different than Ringo wrote them.
Worth adding to your copies of the rest of the series.

If you are looking for Ringo's take on the zombies, then you will be disappointed.

Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2019

First, let me say that I am a big John Ringo fan, and an even bigger fan of Black Tide Rising series, but in my opinion, the stories in this book are not up to the standards of either the novels or the previous anthology (with a couple exceptions).

These stories just didn't connect with me, not sure why. Maybe i wanted a continuation of the adventures of the characters in the novels as opposed to snapshots of strangers
.
It might also be because i am tired of the "zombie victim" mentality present in many of these stories. In the Black Tide Rising novels, they take the initiative against the zombies, freeing up people and building a community again.

They remember that we are at the top of the food chain for a reason. For me, that's a more fun story to read. It's one big reason i like Ringo's take on the zombie apocalypse. Instead of just hanging on by their teeth or just trying to survive until "help" arrives, Ringo's characters take the offensive, and bring the war to the zombies, freeing up other survivors along the way, and starting to rebuild civilization.

just my two cents

as good as it gets

Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2019

John Ringo created what may be his master work with the Black Tide Rising series. This spin off has a bunch of short storied in the same universe. The stories do not particularly intersect with Ringo created characters although there are occasional references here and there.
The quality of the writing cannot be praised highly enough. Ringo had arranged for famous authors, not famous authors and always brilliant authors. The bring us not Zombie stories but stories of people we can engage with caught up in a Zombie Apocalypse.
The locations cover the globe. We have a story in Paris and another at the end of the earth on an island off the coast of New Zealand. Each is a bright gem.
I recommend this volume to lovers of the printed word and those who appriciate a good yarn.
Now that I think about it, I think I'll go read it again.

The best anthology I've read in a long time

Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2019

Verified Purchase

I found this much more readable and interesting than the previous anthology, and liked ALL of the stories. I look forward to some of them perhaps becoming full books/series at some point. These stories are more reminiscent of the older science fiction anthologies that shared so many classics with us. Ray Bradbury would have been right at home here.

An improvement on Black Tide Rising in some ways.

Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2021

Verified Purchase

I am satisfied with the purchase I made for this book. None of the stories are as good as Up on The Roof, my favorite from the first anthology, but more of them are fun to read. Return to Mayberry is my favorite, for the setting, good action and characters and being a loose sequel to the most poorly resolved Black Tide Rising short story. Spectrum is a great story of someone who doesn’t quite realize that society has ended and is decently touching. The stories of the people in the tower, the Maine island, and the Ham radio operator are also quite good. Even the stories that I didn’t personally like were ones I had the feeling that many readers would think higher of.

Good addition to the stoy of this 'world'

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 14, 2019

Verified Purchase

As usual with collections by a mix of writers 'in the world of...' these are of varied quality, to be more precise I did not take to John Birmingham's contribution but to my surprise Travis Taylor wrote something readable for a change. Sarah Hoyt was of course excellent! While we wait for more from Ringo himself this is a good chance to refresh our appreciation of the Black Tide world. Recommended.

Not as exciting as expected

Reviewed in Canada on August 27, 2019

Verified Purchase

Doesn’t compare to the first three volumes. Not as much personal stuff or as much personality so the characters are not as interesting.but it is much better than the 6th volume that was so dry with all the banking info that I never finished. Still a good read and I want to know what happens to the characters, especially if Steve’s family come in somewhere.
