ZOMBIES MEET THE MAFIA IN JOHN RINGOS 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, theyve set their sights on Italy . . .

. . . with no idea whats awaiting them.

Once begun, [Redspace Rising] will grip you by the throatlike its soldier protagonist grips his many enemiesand compel you to read it all the way to its jubilant, battered conclusion. And youll 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 Trents talents. He has created a believable and fascinating future, visited it with a plot any science fiction writer would be proud to have created, andmost importantpopulated 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.

Praise for Black Tide Rising:

This anthology broadens Ringos 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, hes 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
