THE FALL is book two in the Strain Trilogy. This book
is not a sweet and feel good vampire story like the ones
geared towards young tweens. THE FALL will scare you and
make you think. Picking up right where the first book left
off, we are thrown right into the action. The vampires have
taken over Manhattan and are expanding, and they must be
stopped.
I enjoyed many of the characters and their conflicts in
this book. Being a parent myself, it was interesting to
watch Eph Goodweather try to protect his son Zach from
being converted by Kelly, Zach's mother. Having people like
Gus, Vassily, and others fighting against the vampires for
their cities makes for a strong story. I only hope that we
have people like this in the real world willing to fight for
what they believe in. My favorite character has to be Angel,
the aging ex-wrestler turned vampire hunter. He is willing
to step-up and be a hero.
As the world tries to find a way to beat the Master and his
minions, we see the relationships develop between our heroes
and hope that they will succeed in ridding our world of
these terrors. THE FALL is a scary story that will keep you
on the edge of your seat.
If you have not read the first book in this series you may
want to start there, since the reader is thrown right into
the fray. THE FALL is a good story full of action and
mystery that keeps you turning the pages to find out what
happens next.
The second in the New York Times bestselling trilogy that
began with The Strain-about an invasion of vampires-by one
of Hollywood's most popular and imaginative storytellers,
the creator of the Oscar-winning Pan's Labyrinth.
The vampiric virus unleashed in The Strain has taken over
New York City. It is spreading across the country and soon,
the world. Amid the chaos, Eph Goodweather, head of the
CDC's team and one of a small group who have banded together
to fight the bloodthirsty monsters that roam the streets,
finally manages to identify the parasite that causes the
infection. But it may be too late.
Ignited by the Master's horrific plan, a war erupts between
Old and New World Vampires, each side vying for control of
the planet. As the virus continues to plague the land,
humans find themselves caught in the middle of the conflict
. . . and at the bottom of the food chain. They are no
longer the consumers, but the consumed.
At the same time, the battle finds its way inside Eph's own
home: his ex-wife, Kelly, who was turned by the Master, has
her sights fixed on Zack, Eph's son.
With the future of the world in the balance, Eph and his
team of fighters must use all their skills and Holocaust
survivor and former professor Abraham Setrakian's intimate
knowledge of the enemy to combat a terror whose ultimate
plan is more terrible than the humans at first imagined-a
fate worse than annihilation.
