Black Tide Rising edited by John Ringo and Gary Poole

What we have here is more stories from Ringo's zombieverse. We get two bookends by Ringo himself. They are nice little pieces but aren't really enough to get you teeth into. All the stories are readable. My favorites were On the Wall by John Scalzi, How Do You Solve a Problem Like Grandpa? by Michael Z. Williamson, Battle of the BERTs by Mike Massa, and 200 Hundred Miles to Huntsville by Christopher Smith. The others were fine. They just didn't pull me in to the level the others did. Scalzi at Baen was the first surprise. How the hell did that happen? But it was a very funny piece, fit well and came in a close tie with Williamson's. Let's see, gun nut/prepper grandpa versus grand kids worried that grandpa's going nuts them zombies. I'd really like to see Williamson do some more work in Ringo's world. Bottom line is the book is worth the price and holds up well against the novels of the series.

Highly Recommended.
