Perdition's Storm (Black Tide Rising Book 16)

ZOMBIES MEET THE MAFIA IN JOHN RINGO’S BLACK TIDE RISING UNIVERSE, AUTHORED BY A RISING STAR IN SCIENCE FICTION, BRIAN TRENT! Before the world fell, Silvio Cipriano was a contract-killer for the Italian Mafia. When the H7D3 virus came to Italy, Silvio worked to forget his past, to build a different future. Fighting to protect his loved ones from the zombie hordes, he organized the survivors, raised them up from the ashes, and gave them hope. Now, a new enemy has arisen. Worse than the zombies, and bent on conquering the planet one nation at a time, they’ve set their sights on Italy . . . . . . with no idea what’s awaiting them.

Brian Trent is one of our very best new writers and now’s the time to start reading him.” —Robert J. Sawyer, bestselling and Hugo Award-winning author “Once begun, [Redspace Rising] will grip you by the throat—like its soldier protagonist grips his many enemies—and compel you to read it all the way to its jubilant, battered conclusion. And you’ll be very grateful.” —Locus “Gritty, action-packed, and relentless, Redspace Rising shows us a dark future in which battles are won, but the war is never truly over. Trent's follow-up to Ten Thousand Thunders surpasses it in every way.” —Andrea Stewart, best-selling author of The Bone Shard Daughter “Ten Thousand Thunders is a remarkable book, showcasing many of Brian Trent’s talents. He has created a believable and fascinating future, visited it with a plot any science fiction writer would be proud to have created, and—most important—populated it with believable, motivated characters. Hats off to the new kid on the science fiction block!” —Mike Resnick, 5-time Hugo Award winner “Brian Trent has crafted an ingenious masterpiece of military sci-fi . . . With its fast-paced action, double-crossing characters, and focus on personal identity and memory, Redspace Rising is like a literary sci-fi version of the Jason Bourne movie franchise, with Brian Trent serving as the virtuoso cameraman documenting the gripping adventures of our proficient but broken hero.” —Grimdark Magazine Praise for Black Tide Rising: “This anthology broadens Ringo’s Black Tide world, serving up doses of humanity amid the ravenous afflicted. Comedy has a place in this harsh reality, and these stories stir adventure and emotion at a frantic clip throughout. Zombie fiction fans will be thrilled.” —Library Journal Praise for the Black Tide Rising Series: “Not only has Ringo found a mostly unexplored corner of the zombie landscape, he’s using the zombie frame to tackle a broader theme: the collapse and rebirth of civilization. The zombie scenes are exciting, sure, but its the human story that keeps us involved. A fine series.” —Booklist View Less
