Publisher's summary

A world cloaked in darkness...

With human civilization annihilated by a biological zombie plague, a rag-tag 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.

Better Than Second Book

I'm glad I powered through, I had lost hope for the series but it picked back up on this book....even if it was a bit cheesy at times...

a little much on the girl power

I feel that there could have been more male Characters in lead positions way to much girl power for any sort of reality

Wonderful Listing

My Favorite book in the series. Hands down at least the best conclusion. I definitely appreciate it to the very end.

3rd book still going strong

I don't generally like zombie stories, but this series has been fun. Occasionally the story bogs down with jargon or organization details but overall the action keeps flowing.

Only one thing bothers me

The only thing that I don't like is that Faith is 13. No matter how mature she is she is still 13. if he had made her 15 it would be about 90% more believable. other than that I thought it was an amazing listen.

Great continuation of the series

Lots of character growth, tons of comedy, some drama, and great action. Getting ready to read the next one.

Ringo writing about zombies how can it go wrong!

What did you love best about Islands of Rage & Hope?

Love the characters!

What did you like best about this story?

I have listened to the other two and this just continues a great story

What about Tristan Morris’s performance did you like?

Kinda hard to tell chars apart sometimes but i would say he does a decent job will listen to more that he reads

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Yeah the roof scene near the end.

Any additional comments?

Ringo can do no wrong I have not been disappointed by any of his books yet.0
