Thriller Paranormal - Supernatural
“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.
