"Jason Graham dies when the world ends. Then he wakes up on a space station on the other side of the galaxy, and the adventure begins. Jason and five hundred million other humans have been resurrected (and rejuvenated to young adulthood) by alien benefactors in orbit around an Earth-like world that is abundant in natural resources and totally untamed. For the newly awakened humans, this is a chance to start society with a clean slate and a bright future. For Jason, who has knocked about aimlessly in several different careers in his Earth life, it's an opportunity to unleash his creativity and ambition and see what he can really do. But who are the alien benefactors that have contrived this second act for some of Earth's denizens? And what do they really want?"--

New York Times Bestseller John Ringo's Epic Zombie Series, Adapted by Comics Legend Chuck Dixon!A Thrilling Adaptation of the Best-selling Black Tide Rising Series The media calls it the Pacific Flu. The CDC calls it H7D3, and it spreads like wildfire. The virus combines the worst symptoms of Rabies and the common Flu, and is suspected to be man-made. The first reports of feral, cannibalistic “zombie-like” symptoms were met with disbelief and skeptical amusement, but nobody’s laughing now. Scientists, backed by the world’s governments and its wealthiest institutions, race against the clock to develop a cure as infections rise and cities fall. A glimmer of hope appears as a vaccine is discovered, but its production requires harvesting the spinal tissue of the infected, a grim task that tests the limits of human morality. With no other choices apparent, time is quickly running out before hordes of infected overwhelm the last remaining bastions of civilization. In the first days of the outbreak, a college history professor receives a cryptic warning from a trusted source. Its baffling, yet unmistakable message translates as: "PACK UP, GET OUT, AND GO NOW!" Steve Smith and his family don’t waste any time; they leave their normal, comfortable lives behind to get ahead of the inevitable panic and survive the end of the world! Praise for Black Tide Rising: The Graphic Novel: "A badass tale of the apocalypse, told John Ringo-style with an extra dose of awesome from Chuck Dixon! It isn't just about the end of the world; it's about what it takes to come out the other side."—Larry Correia "So you think you've read every kind of zombie tale to be told? Wrong! Chuck Dixon and team pull out all the stops with Black Tide Rising and twist the genre on its ear by populating the story with characters you actually care about! That's almost sacrilege! With Santacruz and Smith on the art chores, this is a must have for the horror and zombie fan. Your library is naked without it."—Graham Nolan "Black Tide Rising would seem fantastical — except the last few years have proved otherwise. Illustrates the importance of free thinkers, being prepared, being vigilant, and having a plan! I want to be in the movie!" —Dean Cain "[D]elivers all the zombie action fans crave, plus sly allusions to a western culture that has lost its way. Even better? Some eye-popping panels you'll want to blow up and frame for your movie room." —Christian Toto "[A] terrific graphic novel that serves as both an allegory for our current COVID nonsense, as well as graphically (pardon the pun) depicting what a real viral pandemic would look like. Black Tide Rising strikes a blow for individual liberty and freedom, which is the only thing that stands in the way of the tyranny we are seeing established in the West, after its murderous run in Europe and the Far East."—Nick Searcy About Black Tide Rising (anthology:) “. . . an entertaining batch of . . . action-packed tales. Certainly, fans of Ringo’s particular brand of action-adventure will be pleased.”—Booklist “This anthology broadens Ringo’s Black Tide world, serving up doses of humanity amid the ravenous afflicted.

Zombie fiction fans will be thrilled.”—Library Journal About 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 About Under a Graveyard Sky: “Ringo combines humor and horror in this strong series debut, the thinking reader’s zombie novel.”—Publishers Weekly About John Ringo: “[Ringo’s work is] peopled with three-dimensional characters and spiced with personal drama as well as tactical finesse.”—Library Journal “. . .

NEW YORK TIMES BEST-SELLING AUTHOR JOHN RINGO AND USA TODAY BEST-SELLING AUTHOR LYDIA SHERRER JOIN FORCES ON A NEW SF NOVEL OF ALIEN INVASION. Ender's Game meets Mean Girls meets Pokemon Go.Lynn Raven may be the boss master of WarMonger 2050 with her online persona of "Larry the Snake," but when the CEO of Tsunami Entertainment personally asks her, as a favor, to beta test a new augmented reality game, she has to face her greatest fear: going outside and dealing with . . . well, people. As she becomes more immersed in the game, the stakes rise and so do the obstacles. Strife between teammates, a ruthless rival team, and these strange glitches that make it seem like the game algorithm (or maybe “game AI”?) has it in for her. Now she has to face a new fear: is she willing to step into the real to win the future she’s always wanted? What do you do when a game and real life merge? About Into the Real: "The disturbing realism is balanced by dangerous monsters, clever tactics, explosive action, and a compelling twist at the end...immersive, highly technical near-future sf; perfect for dedicated gamers or for fans of Ernest Cline’s Ready Player One."—Library Journal "I found myself enjoying the story and Raven’s relationship with the AI that’s her guide in the game, and I was invested throughout. It wasn’t so much a coming-of-age story as a growing into and appreciating one’s own skin...  I’m really looking forward to how things will play out from here."—The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction "Ringo and Sherrer have created a modern day Ender’s Game using the technology of Pokemon Go... The characters are vivid and interesting, and the action is strong enough to carry you along."—Upstream Reviews "The futuristic world of the gamers and the game itself will interest sf readers....YA: Teens will relate to Lynn, the main character, and if they are gamers, they will enjoy her gamer and VR adventures." --Booklist About John Ringo: “. . . the thinking reader’s zombie novel . . .

In the future, there is no want, no war, no disease nor ill-timed death. The world is a paradise - and then, in a moment, it ends. The council that controls the Net falls out and goes to war. Everywhere people who have never known a moment of want or pain are left wondering how to survive.

In the smoking ruins of our world, will the struggle for yesterday's technology spark tomorrow's global war? A new postapocalyptic novel, in which a young cowboy claims his destiny-and tries to prevent a catastophic war-from New York Times best-selling author John Ringo, Kacey Ezell, and Christopher L. Smith.WAR IN THE SMOKING RUINS OF TOMORROW! Thirty years ago, the world ended. Giant electrovoric ants and pterodons came through a rift in space-time, millions of humans died, and that was that. Human ingenuity has provided some creative workarounds to life without electricity and with giant homicidal ants, but most people merely get by at subsistence level. For Chuck Gordon, the simple life of a rancher was enough. But then he met a mysterious dying stranger and now he's on the road of destiny across America accompanied by a warrior monk, a beautiful dragon tamer, a runaway cultist, and a mystic drunken lecher-all searching for the key to reclaiming humanity's past-and future.
