Publisher's summary

Zombies are real. And we made them. Are you prepared for the zombie apocalypse? The Smith family is, with the help of a few marines.

When an airborne "zombie" plague is released, bringing civilization to a grinding halt, the Smith family, Steven, Stacey, Sophia, and Faith, take to the Atlantic to avoid the chaos. The plan is to find a safe haven from the anarchy of infected humanity. What they discover, instead, is a sea composed of the tears of survivors and a passion for bringing hope.

For it is up to the Smiths and a small band of Marines to somehow create the refuge that survivors seek in a world of darkness and terror. Now with every continent a holocaust and every ship an abattoir, life is lived under a graveyard sky.

Graveyard sky review

This is a great story, however the narrator is not the best and trying to pull off and Australian accent is distracting from the story.

Good, great if you geek out on science

I really liked the back half of the book(s). The first part got waay to heavy into the science and kinda bored me. More action and humor deeper in. Well thought out.

Fantastic, and I don't even LIKE zombie books!

Would you consider the audio edition of Under a Graveyard Sky to be better than the print version?

Haven't read the print version. But if they don't get the rest of out in audio pretty soon I will probably start.

What did you like best about this story?

Its coherent. The pacing is excellent. I got total, couldn't stop listening, wife is mad at me, immersion!

What does Tristan Morris bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

All f the characters just ring absolutely true. I will look for other books by this narrator. The book is far better than the sample by the way.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, I more or less tried. Did I mention my wife was mad at me?

Any additional comments?

All comments apply to both books in the series.

Great mix of military and zombie.apoc

Any additional comments?

This series is a lot of fun. The military aspects are cool and mostly accurate, the post.apoc landscape is well visualized, and the characters are all memorable. I would recommend this book and series, along with all other writings of John Ringo, to any adult who likes a fluid witty writing style and lots of adventure.

Love Ringo's take on the Zombie Apocalypse

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

I am sick and tired of these M*#@F#@king Zombies on this M*#@F@#King Boat!

Great new spin on zombie apocalypse story.

Kick ass family on boats saving other survivors. I like the non paranormal spin on this zombie tale. Best series ever. Am sad to hear that book 4 is the final in the series. Really want to hear more about Faith Marie Smith.

Classic Ringo

I am rereading this, and it is still a winner. Ringo's ability to entertain, enlighten and educate simul-together consistently amazes me.
