Summary

Michael Talbot and his crew are sailing happily along aboard their nuclear aircraft carrier, The USS Jimmy Carter, building an ideal community, saving the planet from zombies and madmen in ports far and wide and...nope. That's some other book. The gang's out to sea alright, but under the worst possible meaning of the phrase.

Vague rumors of budding discord now take an ugly, violent turn, pitting the squad against mutineers and malcontents from every sector, and some of the plotters are from Talbot's own House.

What's worse than a bloody uprising at sea? Zombies! Though command assures us they have everything under control, total Hell breaks loose as Colonel Eastman's secret pets mutate, escape, and wreak murderous havoc on all decks.

These new monsters are smart and nearly impossible to kill. The carrier and crew can no longer survive the brutal assault on it from both sides. Can the Talbot gang possibly overcome battling terrorists, super-zombies, and a hopelessly damaged ship?

As the Demi-Goddess Poena has been known to say: "Let's throw a hurricane down upon them."

Doomed, you say? Quite possibly.

Shores if Despair

Well Mr Tufo you have done it again. Another thrilling book of Mike's escapades. This series literally makes work bearable as I can where ear buds for my job. I think I'm probably on around the 14th time of listening to ZF and it never gets old, there's always something I missed in previous times. Thank you for making my boring job bearable and transporting me into a fantasy world.

More please

Another brilliant offering from Messrs Tufo and Runnette. Put simply, they are absolute masters of storytelling. I can't wait for the next instalment - the only excuse I need to do a complete rerun (again!) of all volumes in readiness for the next book.
