The Passage by Justin Cronin



Read May 2018.

A security breach at a secret government installation unleashes a terrible plague upon the Earth, dooming mankind to become either blood thirsty, night-prowling monsters or prey.

As the World falls apart, FBI agent Brad Wolgast is horrified at the things he was forced to do and is determined to protect the little girl Amy Harper Bellafonte, who he delivered up to his pay-masters to become part of the failed project.

So begins an adventure for Amy, that will take her through many years and across the wide, sparsely populated landscape of the future. For Amy is set to be the saviour of Mankind.

The Passage is book one of the Passage trilogy and is an epic tale of the struggle of good against evil. It is a book of two halves, which is a bit disconcerting at first, as the story travels into the future about half-way through. It is quite a ride and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Books two and three - The Twelve and The City Of Mirrors - are waiting patiently on my tbr pile.
