CASTAWAYS IN A ZOMBIE PLAGUE
Six kids ranging from suburban geeks to street-smart pariahs. A British captain who rarely talks and never smiles. All on the 70-foot pilot house ketch Crosscurrent Voyager, bound on a senior summer cruise to adventure and serious fun.
Except most of the kids don’t get along. And they’ll be gone all summer. And none of them have sailed before. And worst of all—because they booked at the last minute—they got the destination nobody else wanted: the frigid and remote South Georgia Islands.
But there’s one other hitch: They’ll never see their families or friends again. Because just days after they leave, a plague starts spreading like wildfire, turning most of its survivors into shrieking, cannibalistic rage-monsters. So with their past dying as fast as the world that shaped it, the kids’ hated destination becomes their one hope for survival.
But it’s an uncertain hope. Not only are other hostile survivors headed there, but South Georgia Island is unable to support permanent habitation. So if the strange crew of the Voyager doesn’t come up with a further plan, they are—in every sense—heading straight toward the end of the world.
At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).
About Charles E. Gannon:
"Chuck Gannon writes the kind of science fiction we all grew up on: rousing, mind-expanding, pulse-pounding sagas of spaceships and aliens. He's a terrific writer, and we're lucky to have him."—Robert J. Sawyer
"[A] strong [writer of] . . . military SF . . . [much] action going on in his work, with a lot of physics behind it. There is a real sense of the urgency of war and the sacrifices it demands." —Locus
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
“Ringo combines humor and horror in this strong series debut, the thinking reader’s zombie novel.”—Publishers Weekly on Under a Graveyard Sky

The ultimate protagonist is an unlikely character who gathers himself together under the tutelage of the ship's captain to lead his crew in a world gone mad. He and his crew learn survival skills, sailing and sufficient combat skills to survive in their new world. They also learn how to become a family/team. This down and gritty action, that can be enjoyed as a guilty pleasure.
But this one is fun, fast and cool. I am a fan of the Ringo created universe of Zombies, courage, and the human drive to survive in the Black Tide books. In "At the End of the World" we have a new cast of characters, teens of various backgrounds, on an educational sailing trip. Such things exist, so I am told. The teens are off the Pacific coast of South America when the Zombie outbreak breaks out. Callow, prickly and unlikely to survive the new world, the kids end up on South Georgia Island, a place most of us have not thought about since the Falkland war.
Grow up fast and hard or die I suppose is the theme. The kids each have enough of the human virtues and flaws to be realistic. I lived for 30 years in Alaska and appreciate that one of the main characters is of Alaska Native extraction.
This makes a valuable addition to the Black Tide series. Luckily for us fans, a follow-up book will come along next year.
Gannon has become one of the authors that makes me glad I learned to read. Thanks.
Can't wait for the next book in the series, sad that it's March 2021 though
Wish that Mr. Ringo would write a novel about who did this and how he was caught.
