United We Stand

Black Tide Rising #10

by Lydia Sherrer, Gary Poole (Editor)

STORIES SET IN THE AFTERMATH OF THE BEST-SELLING ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE SERIES, BLACK TIDE RISING, CREATED BY JOHN RINGO.

The world was brought to its knees by the zombie virus. But humanity has risen from the ashes and has begun to rebuild. Courageous men and women have kindled a fire of hope in the darkness. But mere survival is not enough.

The real challenge is how to keep that future alive. How to not just survive, not just to rebuild, but actually thrive. To tell the universe that mankind can take whatever nature throws against us and not back down.

To stand united.

[Jeffrey Schmieder · Rating 4 out of 5]

Enjoyed most of the stories, especially about a wedding between two powerful Southern families with quite the climax.

Boring

The first story was grant, after that it was totally boring. It took determination to finish the totally worthless last story .

[Pam Bales · Rating 5 out of 5]

Read Under a Graveyard Sky in 2013 after having read many of John Ringo's books. Fell in love with the whole idea and haven't stopped reading them since. This continues the anthologies of great writers adding to the story of the world now in recovery after a zombie apocalypse. Always great stories. Hope the tradition continues.

dang it’s so good

As is usual for a book in one of John’s universe. The authors are top notch and deliver an outstanding batch of stories that will keep you turning pages.

Great glimpses of life after plague

Best of the anthologies to date for me. I must admit I miss the characters from the books. The new blood has done well.

Collection of short stories in the Black Tide Rising series.

Most of the stories have a more "hopeful" dimension... where people have survived the zombie apocalypse (and the end of the world) and now are starting to rebuild.

The plague is over

Every place there are survivors has to find a way to return to normalcy. The government looks to bring the best and brightest to leadership roles.

[Anna Marie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another great collection of short stories in the Black Tide world, mentioning people and events from other stories in this world.

[Caitlin · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoy these looks into how various people dealt with the zombie apocalypse. Some people rise to the challenge, others take advantage. There's a bit of sameness to the stories, but that's to be expected.

[Cynthia Clark · Rating 5 out of 5]

This entire series is one of the best I've ever read! I'm not going to go into the details, but I cannot wait for the next book in this series.

[Bill · Rating 4 out of 5]

A nice assortment of stories, all fours and fives. My favorites were Extraction (Birmingham), Isle of Masks and Blood (Trent), For the Triumph of Evil (Ibson), Let Freedom Ring (Barber), and Do Not Steal (Todd).

climbing out of the darkness

More great short stories from the Darkness Rising Universe. Written by talented authors, they emphasize the theme of rebuilding the world devastated by the plague. They are stories of hope reborn. Enjoy.

Great addition to the series!

Very good set of short stories based on the time after the fall. Enjoyable set of circumstances and characters. A good look at the way the world might rebuild. Hope there are more volumes.

[Aaron · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's a zombie anthology about various pockets of survival from Ringo's zombie series written by various authors. Some of these stories advance various other of the stories from "We Shall Rise" and adds a few new stories.

What a terrible book.

[John Smith · Rating 5 out of 5]

Anthology of zombie short stories. I like it.

[Jim Purcell · Rating 4 out of 5]

A solid collection within and expanding the Black Tide Canon.
