The end of the world was only the beginning. In his internationally bestselling and critically acclaimed novel The Passage, Justin Cronin constructed an unforgettable world transformed by a government experiment gone horribly wrong. Now the scope widens and the intensity deepens as the epic story surges forward with . . . THE TWELVE In the present day, as the man-made apocalypse unfolds, three strangers navigate the chaos. Lila, a doctor and an expectant mother, is so shattered by the spread of violence and infection that she continues to plan for her childâ€™s arrival even as society dissolves around her. Kittridge, known to the world as â€œLast Stand in Denver,â€ 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. April is a teenager fighting to guide her little brother safely through a landscape of death and ruin. These three will learn that they have not been fully abandonedâ€”and that in connection lies hope, even on the darkest of nights. One hundred years in the future, Amy and the others fight on for humankindâ€™s salvation . . . unaware that the rules have changed. The enemy has evolved, and a dark new order has arisen with a vision of the future infinitely more horrifying than manâ€™s extinction. If the Twelve are to fall, one of those united to vanquish them will have to pay the ultimate price. A heart-stopping thriller rendered with masterful literary skill, The Twelve is a grand and gripping tale of sacrifice and survival.

Cronin has taken his literary gifts, and he has weaponized them. . . . The Passage can stand proudly next to Stephen Kingâ€™s apocalyptic masterpiece The Stand, but a closer match would be Cormac McCarthyâ€™s The Road.â€â€”Time â€œRead this book and the ordinary world disappears.â€â€”Stephen King â€œ[A] big, engrossing read that will have you leaving the lights on late into the night.â€â€”The Dallas Morning News From the Hardcover edition. --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.
