Exclusive Interview: “Across An Ocean Of Stars” Author Robert E. Hampson

 

Zombie stories often take place in dark, foreboding places.

But in Robert E. Hampson’s new zombie novel Across An Ocean Of Stars (paperback, Kindle), which is the 14th novel in John Ringo’s ongoing (and often collaborative) Black Tide Rising series, he has the living impaired taking a vacation to Hawaii. And man, are the buffets plentiful.

In the following email interview, Hampson — who is a neuroscientist and a professor at Wake Forest University School of Medicine in Winston-Salem, North Carolina — talks about what inspired and influenced this story, as well as how it connects to the other Black Tide Rising novels and stories.

Exclusive Interview: “United We Stand” Editors John Ringo & Gary Poole

 

Be they zombie-related, medically-induced, or a religious prophecy fulfilled, stories set during apocalyptic events, or after, are often dark or depressing or dour.

Which is why I hope you will enjoy the following email interview, in which John and co-editor Gary Poole discuss this anthology of Black Tide Rising short stories, which features contributions by Brian Trent, Lydia Sherrer, Mike Massa, Jody Lynn Nye, and others.
