A new novel in John Ringo's best-selling Black Tide Rising series by
Nebula- and Dragon Award-nominated author Charles E. Gannon.
Castaways in a zombie plague
Six kids ranging from suburban geeks to street-smart pariahs. A British
captain who rarely talks and never smiles. All on the 70-foot pilothouse
ketch Crosscurrent Voyager, bound on a senior summer cruise to
adventure and serious fun.
Except most of the kids don't get along. And they'll be gone all summer.
And none of them have sailed before. And worst of all - because they
booked at the last minute - they got the destination nobody else wanted:
the frigid and remote South Georgia Islands.
But there's one other hitch: They'll never see their families or friends
again. Because just days after they leave, a plague starts spreading
like wildfire, turning most of its survivors into shrieking,
cannibalistic rage-monsters. So with their past dying as fast as the
world that shaped it, the kids' hated destination becomes their one hope
for survival.
But it's an uncertain hope. Not only are other hostile survivors headed
there, but South Georgia Island is unable to support permanent
habitation. So if the strange crew of the Voyager doesn't come up with
a further plan, they are - in every sense - heading straight toward the
end of the world.
