Publisher's Synopsis
The world has been brought to its knees by the "zombie virus." Nations have fallen, cities have been overrun by the infected, and the human race has come perilously close to extinction. But with the first winter come and gone, the infected have been reduced to not much more than a background nuisance, and survivors around the world are taking stock and vowing to rebuild and rise up stronger, better, and unafraid.All-new stories in New York Times best-selling author John Ringo's Black Tide Rising series, from:Kevin J.
