Eric Flint (John Ringo) Books in Order

Eric Flint (John Ringo) highlights the places where Flint and Ringo’s careers intersect, most notably in the Black Tide Rising anthologies. These collections invite multiple authors to tell stories in the zombie-plague setting Ringo created, and Flint both co-edits and contributes.

The result is a broader view of that universe. Instead of staying only with the Smith family or a single convoy, the anthologies follow submariners, oil-tank squatters, stranded tourists, special operators, and more. Flint’s own pieces bring his interest in ordinary people and improvised institutions into a world of infected swarms and ad hoc militias.

For readers mapping out a complete Black Tide Rising read, this page helps you see where the anthologies fall in relation to the core novels and which stories are most directly tied to Ringo’s main arcs. If you simply like seeing different voices play in the same sandbox, the Flint and Ringo collaborations are a great example of that shared-world energy.
