Zombies are real. And we made them. Are you prepared for the zombie apocalypse? The Smith family is, with the help of a few marines. When an airborne "zombie" plague is released, bringing civilization to a grinding halt, the Smith family - Steven, Stacey, Sophia and Faith - take to the Atlantic to avoid the chaos. The plan is to find a safe haven from the anarchy of infected humanity. What they discover, instead, is a sea composed of the tears of survivors and a passion for bringing hope. For it is up to the Smiths and a small band of Marines to somehow create the refuge that survivors seek in a world of darkness and terror. Now with every continent a holocaust and every ship an abattoir, life is lived beneath a graveyard sky.

Biography/History:
John Ringo brings fighting to life. He is the creator of the Posleen Wars series, which has become a "New York Times" best-selling series with over one million copies in print. The series contains "A Hymn Before Battle, " "Gust Front, " "When the Devil Dances, " "Hell s Faire" and "Eye of the Storm." In addition, Ringo has penned the Council War series: "There Will be Dragons, " "Emerald Sea, " "Against the Tide, " and "East of the Sun, West of the Moon." Adding another dimension to his skills, Ringo created nationally best-selling techno-thriller novels about Mike Harmon ("Ghost, " "Kildar, " "Choosers of the Slain, " "Unto the Breach, " "A Deeper Blue, "and, with Ryan Sear, "Tiger by the Tail"). His techno-thriller "The Last Centurion "was also a national best seller. A more playful twist on the future is found in novels of the Looking-Glass series: "Into the Looking Glass, " "Vorpal Blade, " "Manxome Foe" and "Claws That Catch, " the last three in collaboration with Travis S. Taylor. His audience was further enhanced with four collaborations with fellow "New York Times" best-selling author David Weber: "March Upcountry, " " March to the Sea, " "March to the Stars" and "We Few." There are an additional five collaborative spinoffs from the Posleen series: "The Hero, " written with Michael Z. Williamson, "Watch on the Rhine, " "Yellow Eyes" and "The Tuloriad, " all written with Tom Kratman, and the "New York Times" best seller "Cally s War" and its sequels "Sister Time" and "Honor of the Clan, " both with Julie Cochrane. In addition, Ringo s "Princess of Wands "and "Queen of Wands "broke new ground in contemporary fantasy adventure. A veteran of the 82nd Airborne, Ringo brings first-hand knowledge of military operations to his fiction.
