River of Night by John Ringo and Mike Massa

This is the eighth book in the Black Tide Rising series.  Smith, the SAS banker, needs to get to a safe haven.   He discovers a variety of obstacles.   This book details the trip.

Zombies appear to be the least of the problems in this book.   It appears that the post apocalypse world is fraught with successful sociopaths.  Smith and his crew face a ruthless leader who is cleansing an area of zombies and anyone who he sees as a threat to his dominance.   In addition, a demented bureaucrat is intent on forming a new society based on the worse values of political correctness.

As in all Ringo books there is a wealth of action.   The highlights of the book for me are the humanistic factors.  Loyalty, justice and hope are imbued throughout the book.  

I enjoyed the book although the action is best read earlier in the day as it does tend to get you fired up.
