A decent collection of stories set in a world that I enjoy. Like most collections, some were great, and some were merely acceptable. Overall I feel the quality in this collection was fairly high, although I'm not apt to read them again, for all that I're read and re-read the "real" books in the series.

Nice selection of Zombie stories set in the BTR world, some real gems hidden here.

I downloaded this e-arc through Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.
The Black Tide Rising world that John Ringo created was in no means original. Zombie stories have been written and rewritten for decades. What I appreciate about his version is how character driven it is and that these characters are smart and flawed. I really liked this short story collection because it brought more characters into the world, showed how other regions of the US and the world coped with the apocalypse, expanded on some story lines in the original series, and also gave other science fiction authors a chance to contribute. Some of my favorite stories include the ones written by John Scalzi and Dave Klecha ( On the wall), Michael Z. Williamson ( How do you solve a problem like Grandpa?), and Christopher Smith (200 miles to Huntsville). This collection of stories is a wonderful companion to the Black Tide Rising series.

A couple of stories fell flat for me, but overall it's solid addition of different perspectives to John Ringo's zombie world.
