The enemy has evolved, and a dark new order has arisen with a vision of the future infinitely more horrifying than man’s extinction. One hundred years in the future, Amy and the others fight on for humankind’s salvation…unaware that the rules have changed. These three will learn that they have not been fully abandoned-and that in connection lies hope, even on the darkest of nights. April is a teenager fighting to guide her little brother safely through a landscape of death and ruin. Kittridge, known to the world as “Last Stand in Denver,” has been forced to flee his stronghold and is now on the road, dodging the infected, armed but alone and well aware that a tank of gas will get him only so far. Lila, a doctor and an expectant mother, is so shattered by the spread of violence and infection that she continues to plan for her child’s arrival even as society dissolves around her. In the present day, as the man-made apocalypse unfolds, three strangers navigate the chaos. Now the scope widens and the intensity deepens as the epic story surges forward with The Twelve. Synopsis: In his internationally bestselling and critically acclaimed novel The Passage, Justin Cronin constructed an unforgettable world transformed by a government experiment gone horribly wrong. The plot twists were excellent! Each installment in this trilogy needs to be followed closely to grasp all of it and it’s so worth it. I loved how so many things linked together and added up to the main story. So much stuff kept happening! I was amazed at the plot-line and magnitude of this story. The writing was once again a bit slow but all the details and characters who appeared insignificant at first-all added to the bigger picture and provided conclusions for the plots from the first book. The horror of the depravities one human could subject to another was atrocious.

My God, some of the scenes were devastating and guttered me. And some, in their denial and weakness, enabled the worst of the worst to strive. There was a faction who showed the worst of humanity-greedy and self-serving, using and torturing others to get what they wanted. Some rose to the occasion, showed a bravery and strength of character as they fought back and did their best to save others. The author took us through the apocalypse and humanity’s reaction to it. With the way Justin Cronin wrote the story, I didn’t have any trouble following it. The story shifts between two different time periods-the past when the virals first escaped and the future, after the world died. I was in the grip of The Passage Trilogy and I was obsessed with knowing what happened next in the story, especially with that title which indicated that this second book in the trilogy was focused on the twelve original virals. Rating: 4/5 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Genre: Horror, Post Apocalyptic Review:Īfter I finished The Passage, I dived straight into The Twelve.
