Publisher's Summary

A new novel in John Ringo's best-selling Black Tide Rising series. The sequel to The Valley of Shadows.

Tom Smith used to be somebody. Now he's just another refugee, fleeing the smoking ruins of civilization. 

Well, maybe not just another refugee. 

Late of the Bank of the Americas where he used to be the global managing director for security, Tom and his fellow survivors watched New York City burn. His plan to the save New York long enough to find a cure for the zombie virus hadn't survived the bloody scrimmage between angry cops, cunning gangsters, and rapacious City officials. 

Now only millions of infected humans, driven mad by the highly infectious tailored rabies virus, inhabited the city. 

But Tom and some trusted allies were able to stay one step ahead and escaped offshore. Now they're holed up in a safe house in coastal Virginia and it's time to break out. 

Between him and his objective, one of the bank's prepared evacuation camps in the Cumberland Valley, are hundreds of miles of clogged roads, burnt-out towns, and howling mobs of infected humans who know only hunger. He must corral his motley team, complete with middle-schoolers, to navigate the treacherous landscape. 

And yet he feels his odds are good. 

But there's always someone smarter. And they like things just the way they are. 

Without a fat checkbook and the team of hired spec-ops mercenaries it used to bring, how will Tom Smith fend off entrepreneurial marauders, a brilliant sociopath or two, and a kill-count hungry member of the E-4 mafia? 

And if he pulls it off, no one is sure how they will they re-start civilization. 

But Tom Smith has the spark of an idea.

author needs to learn more about distance

I was disappointed by this novel. the first books in the series were all about hope, book 5 and on are all about frustration. really though I'm frustrated, as a reader, when the author tells a story about having to travel 400 miles, like that's an epic journey. let's do math, if my car is travelling 40 miles an hour, how many hours will it take to go 400 miles? the author is talking weeks and months, as if his characters are on foot, rather than traveling in cars. even if you double or triple the time, this a weeks travel at most and by chapter 12 the main character has been traveling for weeks!? I mean are they pushing their cars or what? as I listened to the story all I keep thinking is "what's taking so long?" Even in a zombie apocalypse it's not like everyone in the country ran out and went for a drive, so why are there suddenly cars all over the road, blocking everything. there were curfews and quarantine, most people were staying home so where did all the cars come from? overall this is a really frustrating story with very little payback

Another hit!

Wow, love this series even more now, but what’s not to love? Zombies, action and suspense... what’s not to love?
