SYNOPSIS:
First the sickness rotted the adults’ minds. Then their bodies. Now they stalk the streets of London, hunting human flesh.
The Holloway crew are survivors. They’ve fought their way across the city and made it to the Natural History Museum alive–just barely. But their fight will never end while the Enemy lives, unless there’s another way.
The kids at the museum are looking for a cure. All they need are medical supplies. To get them they must venture down unfamiliar streets, where it isn’t only crazed, hungry sickos who lurk in the shadows.
In this fifth terrifying entry in Charlie Higson’s Enemy series, suddenly it’s not so clear who–or what–the enemy is.
WHY SHOULD YOU CHECK IT OUT?
This is the fifth book in THE ENEMY series, but in a zombie-filled world, it’s never too late to jump in! We know that these kids have each made it through four other books… but will they make it out alive this time?
The previous UK version of the cover depicted the impression of a skull using various other images, like a bridge’s archway and a pile of human skulls with a city off in the distance. The US version of the cover takes a more lifelike approach to the scene—and even harkens to the famous early highway scene of The Walking Dead. Two lone figures march here towards a smoldering city, birds like planes high in the sky, all set in blacks and grays.
Author Charlie Higson is no stranger to YA. Beyond the other four novels in THE ENEMY series and several one-shots, he’s also authored the YOUNG BOND series about James Bond’s younger years. EARLY REVIEWS SAY… After four emotion-attacking Enemy installments, it seemed impossible that Charlie Higson’s Fallen would actually heighten the intensity of this zombie-like monster series, but it does. (Barnes & Noble) Lord of the Flies with zombies … tons of nail-biting action.
