Black Tide Rising Books in Order

When an engineered plague turns ordinary people into feral killers, the Smith family flees to sea in a sailboat rather than face the chaos ashore. As the scale of the disaster becomes clear, they turn from simple survival to rescuing others and clearing ships, seeding a new fleet.

With their floating city expanding, Wolf Squadron and the U.S. Navy begin retaking key islands and coastal regions. Teen sisters Sophia and Faith Smith find themselves at the sharp end of boarding actions and beachheads as the fight for a future home grows more ambitious and deadly.

Now allied with the remnants of the U.S. military, Wolf Squadron pushes back onto the North American mainland. Coordinating fleets, ground forces, and fragile refugee enclaves, the Smiths lead a campaign to clear the infected and prove that civilization can rise again from the plague.

Wolf Squadron grows as the Smiths and their allies purge ship after ship of infected and add survivors to the flotilla. Between mutinous captains, supply problems, and zombie-choked ports, they struggle to turn a ragged convoy into the core of a civilization worth rebuilding.

This anthology set in John Ringo’s Black Tide Rising universe gathers tales of survival and resistance from multiple authors. From rooftop communities to desperate emergency teams, each story shows new angles on how ordinary people adapt when the zombie plague upends the world.

As the zombie plague topples New York, bank security chief Tom Smith is tasked with saving employees, clients, and critical data. From skyscrapers to fortified suburbs, he cobbles together a private army and a long-shot plan to ride out the fall without losing his humanity.

After escaping burning New York, Tom Smith leads a convoy toward a prepared refuge in Tennessee. Between them and safety lie wrecked highways, predatory gangs, and endless hordes of infected, forcing hard calls about who can be saved and what must be sacrificed.

This Black Tide Rising anthology collects stories from the chaotic early months of the zombie plague, the time survivors call the Fall. Submariners, hunters, stranded families, and more face impossible choices as civilization crumbles around them.

In this Black Tide Rising anthology, new voices and returning favorites show how scattered enclaves begin to link up after the worst of the plague. From small towns to military units, each story explores what it takes not just to live through the apocalypse, but to build something better.

Set in the Black Tide Rising universe, this anthology focuses on the hard work of rebuilding after the zombie plague. Communities that survived the Fall now wrestle with how to connect, cooperate, and defend a fragile future without losing the grit that got them through.
