Black Tide Rising, Volume 5 by Gary Poole
5.0
I downloaded this e-arc through Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.
The Black Tide Rising world that John Ringo created was in no means original. Zombie stories have been written and rewritten for decades. What I appreciate about his version is how character driven it is and that these characters are smart and flawed. I really liked this short story collection because it brought more characters into the world, showed how other regions of the US and the world coped with the apocalypse, expanded on some story lines in the original series, and also gave other science fiction authors a chance to contribute. Some of my favorite stories include the ones written by John Scalzi and Dave Klecha ( On the wall), Michael Z. Williamson ( How do you solve a problem like Grandpa?), and Christopher Smith (200 miles to Huntsville). This collection of stories is a wonderful companion to the Black Tide Rising series.
