BOOK 3 IN THE BLACK TIDE RISING SERIES FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES BEST-SELLING AUTHOR.

Sequel to To Sail a Darkling Sea and Under a Graveyard Sky. A hardened group of survivors fights back against a zombie plague that has brought down civilization.

With the world consumed by a devastating plague that drives humans violently insane, what was once a band of desperate survivors bobbing on a dark Atlantic ocean has now become Wolf Squadron, the only hope for the salvation of the human race. Banding together with what remains of the U.S. Navy, Wolf Squadron, and its leader Steve Smith, not only plans to survive — he plans to retake the mainland from the infected, starting with North America.

The next step: produce a vaccine. But for do that, Wolf Squadron forces led by Smith’s terrifyingly precocious daughters Stephanie and Faith must venture into a sea of the infected to obtain and secure the needed materials. And if some of the rescued survivors turn out to be more than they seem, Smith just might be able to pull off his plan.

Once more, exhausted and redlining Wolf Squadron forces must throw themselves into battle, scouring the islands of the Atlantic for civilization's last hope.

John Ringo

John Ringo

John Ringo writes science fiction that assumes the future will not be polite. His stories tend to open at the moment when preparation either pays off or fails spectacularly, and from there he follows soldiers, engineers, parents, and reluctant leaders as they try to keep civilization upright under extreme pressure. Best known for military science fiction that treats logistics and strategy as seriously as firepower, his work attracts readers who want action grounded in hard choices and believable consequences.

Born in Miami-Dade County, Florida, in 1963, Ringo spent part of his early life moving through different countries before later serving in the U.S. Army, including time with the 82nd Airborne Division. That background shaped how he thinks about conflict and responsibility. When he turned to writing in the late 1990s, those experiences flowed naturally into fiction. His breakout novel, A Hymn Before Battle, introduced readers to a near-future Earth facing alien invasion and set the tone for what would become the Legacy of the Aldenata series, a blend of large-scale warfare, political tension, and sharply drawn human reactions to catastrophe.

Across series such as Black Tide Rising, Troy Rising, and Through the Looking Glass, Ringo consistently explores themes of preparedness, leadership under stress, and the uneasy balance between freedom and survival. His prose is direct and unsentimental, often threaded with dry humor and technical detail that reflects a fascination with engineering, tactics, and real-world constraints. With multiple New York Times bestselling titles and a long list of collaborations with other science fiction and military fiction authors, he has helped define the modern military sci-fi landscape. Readers return to his books not only for the battles and future technology, but for the arguments beneath them, stories that ask what people are willing to build, defend, or sacrifice when the worst finally arrives.
