To Sail a Darkling Sea

Black Tide Rising, Book 2

By: John Ringo

Narrated by: Tristan Morris

Book two in the Black Tide Rising series from the New York Times best-selling author

A family of survivors fights back against a zombie plague that has brought down civilization.

A world cloaked in darkness

With human civilization annihilated by a biological zombie plague, a ragtag 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 never be taken for granted, and death and turning into one of the enemy is only a moment away.

The candle flickers

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....

Light a flame

Now Wolf Squadron must take on another massive challenge: clear the assault carrier USS Iwo Jima 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.

Light Extinguished

Further apocalypse adventure. most poignant parts are at the end. Are actions to save humanity at any cost legal? Once crisis is over people may over think and regret what it took to keep people alive. The image of whole world going dark was deep.

Good continuation of the series in this book.

I enjoyed the continuation of the story in this book. I also noticed the character development and growth for the main protagonist in the series it was excellent. Even though I have read the series before there’s one niggling issue, there was a lot more that could be done with the series that should be done, if Mr. Ringo cannot finish it then he should assign it or let somebody else do so. The book is basically lighthearted and fun with some gore but not too much.
Since this series was released there are several new additional books as well as short stories that have been printed, I will endeavor to read them and follow up with additional reviews but I think the series is still well worth the read.

I don't read Zombie stories but I read this

I don't like Zombie stories as a rule. I like this book and this series because it explores what you can do when you don't have what you need. Anyone who thinks teens can't do this kind of thing has never played laser tag or paintball with them. Good Story and I'm going to read book three.

Thank you for your time and expression of hope in the darkness. I look forward to the rest if the books.

A fun 2nd chapter!

The book met my expectations and then some! My most memorable moment was Faith teaching Capt. Wilkes how to clear a boat of zombies! It was so fitting for someone that came off as an absolute jerk to be shown up by this little 13-year-old
