Publisher Description
BOOK 4 AND CONCLUSION OF THE BLACK TIDE RISING SERIES FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES BEST‑SELLING AUTHOR. Sequel to Islands of Rage and Hope, To Sail a Darkling Sea, and Under a Graveyard Sky.
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.
Smith's teenage daughters have become zombie hunters of unparalleled skill, both at land and on the sea, and they may hold the key to the rebirth of civilization on a devastated planet.

Customer Reviews
Strands of Sorrow
Really love this series, and John Ringo’s other books, I’m a retired Army MP, love how he writes the battle scenes and his characters remind me of people I have known. You really care about them they are so well written.
Could have been a lot better
I won’t recap too much as there are several reviews that capture the issues i had with the series. Net net: Series starts very strong but loses its way the last couple of books.
1. The author states that he uses his own kids as the basis for the two daughters. So extra creepy that a 13 year old is basically hit on by every marine she deals with
2. Missed a huge opportunity to explore the creator of the plague.
3. Tons of details on fights but overall plot gets thinner and thinner in the last two books. By the end it just feels totally silly
Disappointed to have the series end this way. Could have been a lot better
Strands of sorrow
John Ringo wraps up his Zombi epic with his usual highly likely bureaucratic descriptions of general incompetent military and civil National Command Authority fumblers.
The author as usual does not venture far from his southern roots. However he is able to weave an attention holding saga of individuals taking action to save the world . This is worth reading and I recommend Strands of Sorrow. Of particular note is Author Ringos easy identification of Target Lock in training and applied to actual combat situations. Jmcf
