The Fall

The Fall

by Chuck Hogan (Author), Guillermodel Toro (Author)

Synopsis

The tension-filled sequel to The Strain, from the world-famous director whose films include Pan's Labyrinth and Hellboy. We survivors are bloodied, we are broken, we are defeated. But we are not turned. We are not Them. Not yet. The virus unleashed on New York City has taken over. Amid the chaos, Dr Ephraim Goodweather leads a small team struggling against the bloodthirsty victims, but fears it may already be too late. Their condition is contagious, and is spreading across the country. Soon, the entire world will fall. Though Eph understands the threat better than anyone, he is powerless to protect his son Zack. Now corrupted by the deadly strain, Zack's mother, Kelly, stalks the city, awaiting the chance to reclaim her flesh and blood. Guided by Abraham Setrakian, the brilliant professor and Holocaust survivor, Eph and his team must fight off the great terror ahead. The ultimate plan in store for them and what remains of the human race is far more terrible than anyone can imagine - a fate even worse than total annihilation.

Media Reviews

Praise for THE FALL:
`The climax, all fire and brimstone, nicely sets up the third and final volume' Financial Times

`Enough blood-curdling action to set up a gory finale' News of the World

`Fast-paced, action-packed, and even better than the first volume. Highly recommended for thriller and horror fans' Library Journal

Praise for THE STRAIN:

`The first in a trilogy that soars with spellbinding intrigue. Truly, an unforgettable tale you can't put down once you read the first page. I can't wait until the next one.' Clive Cussler

`Blood and apocalypse mix in a terrifying story that feels like it was ripped from today's headlines. Vividly wrought and relentlessly paced, THE STRAIN haunts as much as it terrifies. I cannot wait to see where Del Toro and Hogan take us next.' James Rollins

`Diverting and never less than expertly crafted' Guardian
