Srem Wrote:I found this little gem at a Fred Meyers a while back and finally started on it just the other day. So far it's pretty creepy and mysterious.
Here's an excerpt taken from the back of the book:
The Passage:
An epic and gripping tale of catastrophe and survival, The Passage is the story of Amy—abandoned by her mother at the age of six, pursued and then imprisoned by the shadowy figures behind a government experiment of apocalyptic proportions. But Special Agent Brad Wolgast, the lawman sent to track her down, is disarmed by the curiously quiet girl and risks everything to save her. As the experiment goes nightmarishly wrong, Wolgast secures her escape—but he can’t stop society’s collapse. And as Amy walks alone, across miles and decades, into a future dark with violence and despair, she is filled with the mysterious and terrifying knowledge that only she has the power to save the ruined world.
Dave Wrote:I just finished this book. A terrific read, but does some funky narrative jumps which may not be to everyones taste. At 900+ pages and part 1 of 3, it's a post-apocalyptic epic
If you like/d
The Passage you are going to love
The Twelve, it is the second book of the trilogy and while I loved
The Passage for the funky narrative and kind of low key approach to a lot of the writing
The Twelve is better by leaps and bounds. Cronin creates a world and characters that make a seemingly tired genre come back to life. I can't wait for the third and final book of the trilogy.
