To Sail a Darkling Sea (Black Tide Rising Book 2)

<b>A World Cloaked in Darkness</b><br /><br />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 <i>never</i> be taken for granted, and death and turning into one of the enemy is only a moment away.<br /><br /><b>The Candle Flickers</b><br /><br />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...<br /><br /><b>Light a Flame</b><br /><br />Now Wolf Squadron must take on another massive challenge: clear the assault carrier <i>USS Iwo Jima</i> 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.<br /><br />At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).<br /><br /><b>About John Ringo:</b><br /><br />“[Ringo’s work is] peopled with three dimensional characters and spiced with personal drama as well as tactical finesse."—<i>Library Journal</i><br /><br />“. . .
