About this listen

A world cloaked in darkness...

With human civilization annihilated by a biological zombie plague, a rag-tag fleet of yachts and freighters known as Wolf Squadron scours the Atlantic, searching for survivors. Within every abandoned liner and carrier lurks a potential horde, safety can never be taken for granted, and death and turning into one of the enemy is only a moment away.

The candle flickers...

Yet every ship and town holds the flickering hope of survivors. One and two from lifeboats, a dozen from a fishing village, a few hundred wrenched by fury and fire from a ship that once housed thousands....

Light a flame...

Now Wolf Squadron must take on another massive challenge: clear the assault carrier USS Iwo Jima of infected before the trapped Marines and sailors succumb to starvation. If Wolf Squadron can accomplish that task, an even tougher trial awaits: an apocalyptic battle to win a new dawn for humanity. The war for civilization begins as the boats of the Wolf Squadron become a beacon of hope on a Darkling Sea.

This series is proof of Ringo's genius, I would have loved to listen to each book in turn with as few breaks that I could manage, but alas I had to attend work. It does however pay for my book addiction.

But it did. We get more millitary propaganda, pedophilic moments and lame rightwing "jokes" but this one adds about 20.001 "oohrah!'s" and annoying whisperscreaming. absolutely terrible.

i thought this couldnt get worse.
