Valley of Shadows

In the novel "Black Tide Rising," the global managing director for security, Tom Smith, is tasked with preserving the lives and fortunes of employees, billionaires, and clients during a zombie apocalypse. He needs infected human spinal tissue to formulate a vaccine, but forging a shady alliance with politicians and entrepreneurs is necessary. He must also stave off the fast-moving disease and deal with others who have similar plans. If he fails, his only fallback is an incomplete plan to move personnel to safe havens and restart civilization.

Tom Smith, the global managing director for security at the Bank of the Americas tower on Wall Street, had a birds-eye view of the Statue of Liberty, Battery Park, and a horde of ravenous zombies. Officially, his job was to protect the lives and fortunes of employees, billionaires, and other clients. However, with a deadly virus that turned infected people into ravenous zombies, his task had become exponentially more challenging.

Despite his background in the Australian special forces, Smith knew that saving civilization would require more than just traditional banking tools like lawyers, guns, and money. He desperately needed infected human spinal tissue to create a vaccine, and he needed it in bulk. To obtain it, he had to form a shady alliance with politicians from the City of New York and some of its less reputable entrepreneurs.

However, all of his back-alley dealings might be for nothing if he couldn't stop the disease from spreading rapidly across the planet, leaving billions dead in its wake. And if he failed, his only plan was to evacuate enough personnel to safe havens and prepare to restart civilization.

What made matters worse was that there were others with similar plans, and they were even less compassionate than a Wall Street investment banker. Smith knew that he would eventually have to confront them, but first, he had to survive the fall.

Black Tide Rising is a new novel in John Ringos best-selling Black Tide Rising zombie apocalypse series. The book expands Ringos Black Tide world, offering glimpses of humanity amidst the chaos. It is a must-read for fans of Ringos action-packed tales and anyone who loves a good zombie story.
