Just Released Today!
June 8th, 2010
The Most Anticipated Book of the summer is finally here! The "It" book! Have you picked up your copy?! You have heard of The Passage by Justin Cronin, right?! If not, here's the blurb from the publisher...
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.
There has been so much buzz about this book for the past 6 months. It was the book with the biggest buzz at BookExpo this year. What a great campaign by Random House & Ballantine Books to get the word out... and now let's open the pages and see just how good it is...
I missed out on getting a copy at BEA this year, but through the beauty of technology The Passage arrived on my Kindle early this morning. I've already dived in to sample it (how could I resist!) even though I'm in the middle of another book... Has anyone read The Passage yet?! What did YOU think?! I'll let you know what I think as soon as I turn that last page...
*P.S. This book is the first book in a TRILOGY!
