A NEW NOVEL IN JOHN RINGO'S BESTSELLING BLACK TIDE RISING SERIES.
Sequel to The Valley of Shadows.
THROUGH THE RAGING PLAGUE
At Tom Smith's previous gig, he was the global managing director for
security of an international bank. Then the zombies emerged. And New
York burned. His plan to save the city long enough to find a cure for
the zombie virus didn't survive a bloody scrimmage between angry cops,
cunning gangsters, and rapacious officials.
Tom and a few trusted allies were able to stay one step ahead and barely
escape. Now they seek refuge in the bank's prepared evacuation retreat
in the Cumberland Valley of Tennessee. But between Tom's people and
relative safety are hundreds of miles of clogged roads, burnt-out towns
and howling mobs of infected humans who know only hunger. Plus there are
gangs of the non-infected who would like nothing more than to defeat and
enslave any weary travelers who happen their way.
And finally, if Tom does pull off the journey, no one is sure how they
are going to restart civilization. But even for that, Tom Smith has the
spark of an idea. And, as always, the beginnings of a plan. Which he is
certain will change completely when the enemy strikes.
