November 2010 Book of the Month.
A chilling end of the world as we know it saga, this first volume of a trilogy has all the impact of Stephen King’s THE STAND in breadth of vision and length. Following a failed military experiment, America falls to a zombie/vampire epidemic and only a curious little girl and a group of doughty survivors hold the key to survival. A truly epic masterpiece that will have you hanging on for dear life for both its conclusion and the next volume.
Lovereading comment:
More than just a supreme thrill-ride, but something with the resonance and power of myth, The Passage is epic storytelling at its very best. A story that powerfully articulates our deepest fears and hopes, The Passage will move, captivate and be impossible to forget.
From Bill Massey, the publisher who found The Passage:
What could an innocent child and a psychotic killer have in common? One of them could destroy us all; one could save us, But which is which? It takes a special book to pose such dark and deep questions. A very special one to answer them. And a great one to weave them into a hypnotically powerful piece of storytelling that will take over your waking hours and invade your dreams. Welcome to the world of the Passage.
It's your world - our world. But change is on its way. And not all change is good. Turn the page and be among the first to take the journey.
Here are a few comments from staff at the Publishing House, Orion:
I was so obsessed with it... a towering work... one of the most amazing books I've read... an extraordinary novel... the most exciting book I've read for a decade... I couldn't put it down and its size became a virtue... an epic and vivid masterpiece of suspense and adventure... Genius, there is no other word for it... read it and you will not be disappointed.
