About this listen

Book two in the Black Tide Rising series from the New York Times best-selling author

A family of survivors fights back against a zombie plague that has brought down civilization.

A world cloaked in darkness

With human civilization annihilated by a biological zombie plague, a ragtag 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.

What did you like most about To Sail a Darkling Sea?

I really enjoyed this book 2 the whole zombie tale from a new standpoint it a real breath of fresh air to the zombie stories, i really can get behind Faith the hero. If zombies exist then why can't a 13 year old girl that kills them exist? I really enjoyed this book.

Another good book

I liked this book. A bit slow, but kept my attention. Not gory, and a nice mix of personal and military. The narrator has av good voice, nice rhythm and diction, though I found some of his pronunciations were peculiar, and he didn't seem to know that "M." before a Frenchman's surname means "Monsieur", not his initial. Overall, a good listen.

Engaging book

Buy a zombie book they said, it'll be fun they said. Well, they lied. Compared to book 1 i guess book 2 is better. It features way less middle age men making sexual remarks to the 13 year old but its still there. Instead we get large boring stretches of pointless military speak, boring quotes from war criminals and a giant dose of the authors inhumane politics.

Still terrible.

I was enjoying this series of books overall. There were some interesting ideas. I was prepared to overlook the numerous holes in the plot as long as the story moved along at a significant pace and didn’t allow me to ponder overmuch. What killed this series for me was the constant introduction of new characters, disposable characters mostly. Each character has a voice a way of speaking an accent. This is a big ask for any narrator and for me the guy performing this task wasn’t up to it. What made me turn off was his arse-achingly awful British accent for the sergeant-major. It was actually painful to listen to. So I stopped listening. Pity, but when someone’s performance makes you want to throw your very expensive phone at a wall in frustration then it’s time to admit defeat.

Interesting ideas terrible delivery

So many gun-boomerisms stacked on top of each other should be illegal. Shame on you Mr Ringo.

"Twwrrldwrs!"
