“It happened fast. Thirty-two minutes for one world to die, another to be
born.”
First, the unthinkable: a security breach at a secret U.S. government facility
unleashes the monstrous product of a chilling military experiment. Then, the
unspeakable: a night of chaos and carnage gives way to sunrise on a nation, and
ultimately a world, forever altered. All that remains for the stunned survivors
is the long fight ahead and a future ruled by fear—of darkness, of death, of a
fate far worse.
As civilization swiftly crumbles into a primal landscape of predators and prey,
two people flee in search of sanctuary. FBI agent Brad Wolgast is a good man
haunted by what he’s done in the line of duty. Six-year-old orphan Amy Harper
Bellafonte is a refugee from the doomed scientific project that has triggered
apocalypse. He is determined to protect her from the horror set loose by her
captors. But for Amy, escaping the bloody fallout is only the beginning of a
much longer odyssey—spanning miles and decades—towards the time and place where
she must finish what should never have begun.
With The Passage, award-winning author Justin Cronin has written both a
relentlessly suspenseful adventure and an epic chronicle of human endurance in
the face of unprecedented catastrophe and unimaginable danger. Its inventive
storytelling, masterful prose, and depth of human insight mark it as a crucial
and transcendent work of modern fiction.
