About this listen

Book two in the Black Tide Rising series from the New York Times best-selling author

A family of survivors fights back against a zombie plague that has brought down civilization.

A world cloaked in darkness

With human civilization annihilated by a biological zombie plague, a ragtag 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.

What did you like most about To Sail a Darkling Sea?

I really enjoyed this book 2 the whole zombie tale from a new standpoint it a real breath of fresh air to the zombie stories, i really can get behind Faith the hero. If zombies exist then why can't a 13 year old girl that kills them exist? I really enjoyed this book.

Another good book

I liked this book. A bit slow, but kept my attention. Not gory, and a nice mix of personal and military. The narrator has av good voice, nice rhythm and diction, though I found some of his pronunciations were peculiar, and he didn't seem to know that "M." before a Frenchman's surname means "Monsieur", not his initial. Overall, a good listen.

Engaging book

I was enjoying this series of books overall. There were some interesting ideas. I was prepared to overlook the numerous holes in the plot as long as the story moved along at a significant pace and didn’t allow me to ponder overmuch. What killed this series for me was the constant introduction of new characters, disposable characters mostly. Each character has a voice a way of speaking an accent. This is a big ask for any narrator and for me the guy performing this task wasn’t up to it. What made me turn off was his arse-achingly awful British accent for the sergeant-major. It was actually painful to listen to. So I stopped listening. Pity, but when someone’s performance makes you want to throw your very expensive phone at a wall in frustration then it’s time to admit defeat.
