  • "In the present day: As a man-made apocalypse unfolds, three strangers navigate the chaos, desperate to find others, to survive, to witness the dawn on the other side of disaster. Lila, a doctor and an expectant mother, has been so broken by the spread of violence and infection that she continues to plan for her child's arrival even as society dissolves around her. Kittridge, known to the world as "Last Stand in Denver," has been forced by loss of electrical power 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 minefield of death and ruin. These three will learn that they have not been fully abandoned--and that in connection lies hope, even on the darkest of nights. A hundred years in the future: Amy, Peter, Alicia, and the others introduced in "The Passage" work with a cast of new characters to hunt the original twelve virals . . . unaware that the rules of the game have changed, and that one of them will have to sacrifice everything to bring the Twelve down."
  • "At the end of The Passage, the great viral plague had left a small group of survivors clinging to life amidst a world transformed into a nightmare. In the second volume of this epic trilogy, this same group of survivors, led by the mysterious, charismatic Amy, go on the attack, leading an insurrection against the virals: the first offensives of the Second Viral War."

  • "97 lat temu Ameryka pogrążyła się w chaosie i śmierci. W rezultacie nieudanego eksperymentu naukowego, zwanego "Projektem Noe", prowadzonego w tajnej bazie wojskowej w Kolorado, na wolność wydostaje się dwunastu niebezpiecznych skazańców zarażonych wirusem, który przemienia ludzi w wampiry. Zaczyna się prawdziwe piekło na ziemi: zarażeni (zwani wirolami) atakują każdego napotkanego człowieka, a kraj ogarnia epidemia. Niedobitki ludzi chronią się za wysokimi murami w odciętych od świata koloniach. Spełnia się największy koszmar-- teraz to wampiry stanowią przyszłość, a cywilizacji ludzkiej grozi całkowita zagłada. Tylko resztki nadziei trzymają ocalałych przy życiu. Muszą przeżyć, by uratować ludzkość: wytropić Dwunastu, unicestwić ich, zniszczyć główne kryjówki dysponującego gigantyczną przewagą wroga. Jak dotąd, wszelkie wysiłki ludzi okazywały się bezskuteczne, być może nie bez powodu. Zachowanie wiroli zmienia się. Czyżby stopniowo stawali się nieśmiertelni? Tropy prowadzą do otoczonego zasiekami miasta w stanie Iowa, nazywanego Ojczyzną, którym rządzi naczelnik Horace Guilder i czerwonoocy. Przed wybuchem epidemii Guilder był zastępcą dyrektora Departamentu Broni Specjalnych, odpowiedzialnym za "Projekt Noe". Śmiertelnie chory Guilder, chcąc odzyskać zdrowie, wykonuje polecenia Dwunastu: trzyma ludzi w lochach, używając ich do niewolniczych prac i jako karmy dla wiroli. Kilkunastoletnia Amy-- obdarzona nieśmiertelnością Dziewczyna Znikąd-- jest ostatnią nadzieją ludzkości. Tylko ona, również ofiara eksperymentu, potrafi przeniknąć do umysłów Dwunastu i odkryć przerażające tajemnice Ojczyzny."
