Black Tide Rising

All the stories in this anthology were excellent! The only problem with them was that they were short stories. Many of them fit perfectly into the scenario laid down in John Ringo's books, and would be great reads expanded into full length novels!

I thought it a poor attempt at continuing the series. Even as short stories, I couldn't really get interested in them. Even John Ringo's story seem lame and contrived to just finish it off or give a starting point for a new series. Either way, I wasn't impressed enough to recommend it to Ringo fans.
I felt he was tired of this series about midway thru the third book. The writing was definitely different from the preceding novels.
And I am a big Ringo fan. I have all his books, and look forward to something new from him.

A hodgepodge of disconnected short stories The only connection is that all contain "turned" humans. No thread that leads forward or sideways from the excellent original series by John Ringo. Hundreds of possibilities were missed that could have made this a good series with connectivity.

I am sorry that John Ringo lent his name to this mess.

Anthologies usually contain some stories you like and others you are not wild about. Black Tide Rising is an above average collection of stories in John Ringo's Zombie Apocalypse universe. Almost all stories excepting those by Ringo are in the early outbreak stages of the zombie plague. None of the short stories were poor. I completed all which is unusual for me.

Ringo has three contributions. All are good but the best was his interpretation why apocalypse novels are popular.

The stars of the anthology are:
"How Do You Solve a Problem About Grandpa? by Michael Z. Williamson,
"Battle of the BERTs" by Mike Massa
"200 Miles to Huntsville" by Christopher Smith
"Not in Vain" by Kacey Ezell

This is a collection of short stories generally taking place in first few day of Ringo's ZA., Most stories fit in well with the theme and universe. A few like 200 miles to Huntsville are generic world is ending stories, which could fit in any anthology. Others like Battle of the Bert's are decent shorts taking place just one block over from where our heroes of the series are. It a quick read. Got it yesterday and finished before midnight.

An anthology set in Ringo's Black Tide Rising series. I enjoyed all but 2 of the stories, and anytime you can say that about an anthology, I figure you've got a winner. Hope to see more of these characters soon.

This is anthology to John Ringo's BTR series. This book give multiple perspectives to the recuperation of the population post fall.

Fantastic thoughts are presented the writing of all of the writers. .
