New York Times Bestseller John Ringo''s Epic Zombie Series, Adapted by Comics Legend Chuck Dixon! A THRILLING ADAPTATION OF THE BEST-SELLING BLACK TIDE RISING SERIES The media calls it the Pacific Flu. The CDC calls it H7D3, and it spreads like wildfire. The virus combines the worst symptoms of Rabies and the common Flu, and is suspected to be man-made. The first reports of feral, cannibalistic “zombie-like” symptoms were met with disbelief and skeptical amusement, but nobody’s laughing now. Scientists, backed by the world’s governments and its wealthiest institutions, race against the clock to develop a cure as infections rise and cities fall. A glimmer of hope appears as a vaccine is discovered, but its production requires harvesting the spinal tissue of the infected, a grim task that tests the limits of human morality. With no other choices apparent, time is quickly running out before hordes of infected overwhelm the last remaining bastions of civilization. In the first days of the outbreak, a college history professor receives a cryptic warning from a trusted source. Its baffling, yet unmistakable message translates as: “PACK UP, GET OUT, AND GO NOW!” Steve Smith and his family don’t waste any time; they leave their normal, comfortable lives behind to get ahead of the inevitable panic and survive the end of the world!

BLACK TIDE RISING SERIES: Under a Graveyard Sky To Sail a Darkling Sea Islands of Rage and Hope Strands of Sorrow Black Tide Rising Voices of the Fall We Shall Rise At the End of the World At the End of the Journey The Valley of Shadows River of Night Praise for Black Tide Rising: The Graphic Novel: “A badass tale of the apocalypse, told John Ringo-style with an extra dose of awesome from Chuck Dixon! It isn''t just about the end of the world; it''s about what it takes to come out the other side.” —Larry Correia “So you think you''ve read every kind of zombie tale to be told? Wrong! Chuck Dixon and team pull out all the stops with Black Tide Rising and twist the genre on its ear by populating the story with characters you actually care about! That''s almost sacrilege! With Santacruz and Smith on the art chores, this is a must have for the horror and zombie fan. Your library is naked without it.” —Graham Nolan “Black Tide Rising would seem fantastical — except the last few years have proved otherwise. Illustrates the importance of free thinkers, being prepared, being vigilant, and having a plan! I want to be in the movie!” —Dean Cain “[D]elivers all the zombie action fans crave, plus sly allusions to a western culture that has lost its way. Even better? Some eye-popping panels you''ll want to blow up and frame for your movie room.” —Christian Toto “[A] terrific graphic novel that serves as both an allegory for our current COVID nonsense, as well as graphically (pardon the pun) depicting what a real viral pandemic would look like. Black Tide Rising strikes a blow for individual liberty and freedom, which is the only thing that stands in the way of the tyranny we are seeing established in the West, after its murderous run in Europe and the Far East.” —Nick Searcy About Black Tide Rising (anthology): “. . . an entertaining batch of . . . action-packed tales. Certainly, fans of Ringo’s particular brand of action-adventure will be pleased.” —Booklist “This anthology broadens Ringo’s Black Tide world, serving up doses of humanity amid the ravenous afflicted. Comedy has a place in this harsh reality, and these stories stir adventure and emotion at a frantic clip throughout. Zombie fiction fans will be thrilled.” —Library Journal About the Black Tide Rising Series: “Not only has Ringo found a mostly unexplored corner of the zombie landscape, he''s using the zombie frame to tackle a broader theme: the collapse and rebirth of civilization. The zombie scenes are exciting, sure, but its the human story that keeps us involved. A fine series.” —Booklist About Under a Graveyard Sky: “Ringo combines humor and horror in this strong series debut, the thinking reader’s zombie novel.” —Publishers Weekly About John Ringo: “[Ringo’s work is] peopled with three-dimensional characters and spiced with personal drama as well as tactical finesse.” —Library Journal “. . .

A NEW NOVEL IN JOHN RINGO''S BESTSELLING BLACK TIDE RISING SERIES. Sequel to The Valley of Shadows. Tom Smith used to be somebody. Now he''s just another refugee, fleeing the smoking ruins of civilization. Well, maybe not just another refugee. Late of the Bank of the Americas where he used to be the global managing director for Security, Tom and his fellow survivors watched New York City burn. His plan to the save New York long enough to find a cure for the zombie virus hadn''t survived the bloody scrimmage between angry cops, cunning gangsters, and rapacious City officials. Now only millions of infected humans, driven mad by the high infectious tailored rabies virus, inhabited the city. But Tom and some trusted allies were able to stay one step ahead and escaped offshore. Now they''re holed up in a safe house in coastal Virginia and it''s time to breakout. Between him and his objective, one of the bank''s prepared evacuation camps in the Cumberland Valley, are hundreds of miles of clogged roads, burnt-out towns and howling mobs of infected humans who know only hunger. He must corral his motley team, complete with middle-schoolers, to navigate the treacherous landscape. And yet he feels his odds are good. But there''s always someone smarter. And they like things just the way they are. Without a fat checkbook and the team of hired spec-ops mercenaries it used to bring, how will Tom Smith fend off entrepreneurial marauders, a brilliant sociopath or two and a kill-count hungry member of the E-4 mafia? And if he pulls it off, no one is sure how they will they re-start civilization. But Tom Smith has the spark of an idea.

NEW NOVEL IN JOHN RINGO''S BLACK TIDE RISING SERIES From his corner office on the forty-fourth floor of the Bank of the Americas tower on Wall Street, Tom Smith, global managing director for security, could see the Statue of Liberty, Battery Park—and a ravening zombie horde. Officially, Smith was paid to preserve the lives and fortunes of employees, billionaires, and other clients. And with an implacable virus that turned the infected into ravenous zombies tearing through the city, the country, and the world, his job just got a lot harder. Good thing Smith, late of the Australian special forces, isn’t a man to give up easily. But saving civilization is going to take more than the traditional banking toolbox of lawyers, guns, and money. Smith needs infected human spinal tissue to formulate a vaccine—and he needs it by the truckload. To get it, he will have to forge a shady alliance with both the politicians of the City of New York and some of its less savory entrepreneurs. But all of his back-alley dealing may amount to nothing if he can’t stave off the fast-moving disease as it sweeps across the planet, leaving billions dead in its wake. And if he fails, his only fallback is an incomplete plan to move enough personnel to safe havens and prepare to restart civilization. What’s more, there are others who have similar plans—and believe it or not, they’re even less charitable than a Wall Street investment banker. Sooner or later Smith will have to deal with them. But first he has to survive the Fall. A New Novel in John Ringo’s best-selling Black Tide Rising zombie apocalypse series.

The No-Holds-Barred Final Entry in the Monster Hunter Memoirs Series from New York Times best-selling authors Larry Correia and John Ringo. "This is New Orleans." That mantra had rung in Chad Gadenier''s ears since his first day working in the Big Easy. Everything was different in New Orleans. The food. The climate. The monsters. Even the shadowy and reprehensible MCB was different. But that''s just the beginning. The real reason New Orleans is so different is a larval Great Old One growing day by day in power and just about ready to pop. If Chad can''t convince "the powers that be" to get involved not only New Orleans but the entire world is going to fall under the power of the nastiest of nasties. Now on the outs with the US Government and in exile from his usual job of saving the world, Chad must rally the forces of light against the coming darkness. The problem is one guy with a sword and a sub-gun isn''t going to solve this one. Fortunately, Chad''s made a few friends over the years. And the Fey hate Old Ones as much as God''s people, and they''re not about to give up this world without a fight. If the Saints don''t come marching in on this one . . . there won''t be a Final Battle. There will be a final massacre. Now, where''d he put that number for the ditzy fey princess . . . ?

Roger Ramius MacClintock was young, handsome, athletic, an excellent dresser, and third in line for the Throne of Man.

Then warships of the Empire of Man''s worst rivals shoot his crippled vessel out of space and Roger is shipwrecked on the planet Marduk, whose jungles are full of deadly predators and barbarian hordes with really bad dispositions. Now all Roger has to do is hike halfway around the entire planet, then capture a spaceport from the Bad Guys, somehow commandeer a starship, and then go home to Mother for explanations. Fortunately, Roger has an ace in the hole: Bravo Company of Bronze Battalion of The Empress'' Own Regiment. If anyone can get him off Marduk alive, it''s the Bronze Barbarians.

Osmdesátky v New Orleans? Peklo na Zemi! Ta pravá monster párty se koná jedině v New Orleans! Co je lepší než série o Lovcích monster od veleúspěšného autora, jako je Larry Correia? Spin-off té samé série zasazený do osmdesátých let, kde se náboji nešetří a o politické korektnosti skoro nikdo neslyšel. Zvlášť když si na to psaní vzal Correia do tandemu neméně úspěšného Johna Ringa! Bývalého mariňáka, pozdější dočasnou mrtvolu a nyní lovce monster Chada osud (nebo spíš nenechavé ruce a příliš mladé elfky s naštvaným příbuzenstvem) tentokrát zavál do New Orleans, kde místní Hoodoo komando musí za jeden den ulovit víc monster, než v jiném městě za měsíc. Obzvlášť když je úplněk... Taky to ve městě vypadá jinak než v jakémkoliv jiném loveckém revíru – a lovci samotní padají za oběť únavě a chybám rychleji, než noví stíhají přicházet. John Ringo vzal Correiův svět a už tak adrenalinové příběhy doplnil o vlastní dávku akce, humoru a pořádné muziky. Stejně jako u předchozího dílu Grunge mají i tentokrát lovci i čtenář jen málo času na oddych, protože akce střídá akci a monstra dodržují pauzu na oběd jen v tom případě, že tím obědem jste vy. Od vlkodlaků a upírů přes magické krokodýly až po obří jedovaté žáby – New Orleans má všechno. A umí z toho uvařit skvělou večeři, tedy pokud to někdo stihne včas zabít. A tím vším prochází Chad se svým věrným Truchlivým mečem a nebývalou volností. Ve městě zaplaveném příšerami a hoodoo totiž ani vládní dozor neumí zahlazovat všechny stopy a každý místní ví, kdy má začít utíkat. Připravte se na koncert vyhnaný na maximum: záplavy nepřátel, nervy napjaté k prasknutí, zbraně opravdu těžkého kalibru a někde ve stínech zlo, které to má všechno na svědomí... v jediném místě na světě, kde lovec může být občas i veřejným hrdinou. V New Orleans se totiž všechno dělá jinak.

BOOK 3 IN THE BLACK TIDE RISING SERIES FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES BEST-SELLING AUTHOR. Sequel to To Sail a Darkling Sea and Under a Graveyard Sky. A hardened group of survivors fights back against a zombie plague that has brought down civilization.

The next step: produce a vaccine. But for do that, Wolf Squadron forces led by Smith’s terrifyingly precocious daughters Sophia and Faith must venture into a sea of the infected to obtain and secure the needed materials.

Once more, exhausted and redlining Wolf Squadron forces must throw themselves into battle, scouring the islands of the Atlantic for civilization''s last hope.

Die Ruhe vor dem Sturm Den Menschen ist es, dank technologischer und genetischer Aufrüstung, gelungen, die Posleen-Invasion auf zwei Welten aufzuhalten. Erstmals kehrt Ruhe auf den Schlachtfeldern ein, und die Veteranen kehren zur Erde zurück. Doch die Posleen planen einen direkten Vorstoß auf den Heimatplaneten der Menschen – und sie sind nicht gewillt, den Soldaten eine Atempause zu gönnen. Doch dann macht ein geheimer Stoßtrupp von US-Marines auf einem fremden Planeten eine atemberaubende Entdeckung.

Die Invasion geht weiter ... Dies sind die Abenteuer von Cally O’Neal, deren Clan die letzte Bastion gegen die Invasion der Posleen bildet. Seit Jahren versteckt sie sich mit den Widerstandskämpfern ihrer Familie in Ruinen, um in einem gnadenlosen Guerilla-Krieg gegen die Posleen zu kämpfen. Doch mit der neuesten Waffe der Außerirdischen haben selbst die O’Neals nicht gerechnet ...

Die Posleen tragen den Krieg direkt auf die Erde Sieg oder Niederlage? Die Menschheit steht vor der alles entscheidenden Schlacht gegen die außerirdischen Posleen. Und sie wird mitten auf der Erde ausgetragen, denn es gibt nur eines, was die USA vor einer Hungersnot und damit der Niederlage bewahrt: der Panama-Kanal. Doch der lange Krieg hat an den Ressourcen gezehrt, und so ist es nur eine Handvoll Marines, die zusammen mit den Einheimischen den Kanal verteidigen. Es mangelt ihnen zwar an Ausrüstung und Unterstützung, aber nicht an Grips und Mut!

Die Invasion beginnt Wir dachten, wir wären allein im Universum – bis zu dem Tag, an dem der amerikanische Präsident erfährt, dass gigantische Flotteneinheiten einer aggressiven außerirdischen Zivilisation – die Posleen – auf die Erde zumarschieren. Weltweit wird das gesamte Militär in Alarmbereitschaft versetzt. Man rechnet mit einem Angriff in zwei bis drei Jahren. Doch dann tritt plötzlich ein Posleen-Großraumschiff aus dem Hyperraum und setzt an mehreren Orten Landungsboote mit Hunderttausenden von Kämpfern ab. Die Invasion hat begonnen ...

Die Galaxis ist zu klein für uns beide! Der Krieg um die Erde und der Kampf gegen die außerirdischen Eindringlinge erreicht seinen Höhepunkt: Die Raumstation Troy und ihre todesmutige Besatzung sind die letzte Bastion, die sich den Tyrannen aus dem All entgegenstellt. Denn nicht nur das Schicksal der Erde steht auf dem Spiel. Wenn die Außerirdischen siegen, wird die ganze Galaxis für Jahrtausende zerstört sein und in tiefer Finsternis versinken ...

Sieg oder Niederlage? Die Menschheit steht vor dem alles entscheidenden Krieg gegen die Außerirdischen. Alles, was noch zwischen den Posleen und der letzten Bastion Amerikas steht, ist die kampferprobte 555. Infanterie unter Major Michael O’Neal. Doch er und seine Jungs sitzen im Rabun Pass fest und sind von den Aliens umzingelt. Stellt sich die Frage, was zuerst ausgeht: Kraft, Kugeln oder Soldaten? Ihre einzige Hoffnung ist die „Bun-Bun“, die man mit den neusten Waffentechnologien aufgerüstet hat. Aber wird ein Schiff reichen, um die Posleen-Horden fertigzumachen?

Armed forces veteran and seven-time New York Times bestselling author John Ringo delivers the sequel to contemporary urban fantasy thriller Princess of Wands. John Ringo versus zombies! Soccer mom and demon fighter Barbara Everette has a problem. It seems Janea, Barbara’s assistant and The Foundation for Love and Universal Faith''s best operative, has been thrown into a coma by some very nasty magic she’s stirred up. Barbara must track down the perpetrators and break the spell or Janea''s soul will be forever lost on the astral plane. Oh, and if she can''t break the spell, zombies will destroy all mankind. Meanwhile, Janea, a high-dollar call girl, stripper and High Priestess of Freya when she isn’t fighting demons, must contend with a spiritual journey of her own. It’s a journey into Janea’s acceptance of herself in all her dimensions (and what dimensions they are!). Where to locate one’s true inner essence? At a science fiction convention, of course. But when rescuers pursue Janea into her vision of a geeky alternate reality, we find this is one science fiction convention where the Guest of Honor could turn out to be Death Himself. Finally, the Christian soccer mom and the Norse priestess stripper face their greatest challenge ever when an ancient Old One rears Her ugly face, and the Mother of Darkness walks among us. Since this is one Mother who is quite immune to any conventional power, including nuclear weapons, it seems humanity’s only hope is God. The question being: Is God willing to save humanity?
