But Special Agent Brad Wolgast, the lawman sent to track her down, is disarmed by the curiously quiet girl and risks everything to save her. As the experiment goes nightmarishly wrong, Wolgast secures her escapeâ€”but he canâ€™t stop societyâ€™s collapse. And as Amy walks alone, across miles and decades, into a future dark with violence and despair, she is filled with the mysterious and terrifying knowledge that only she has the power to save the ruined world.

Praise for The Passage

â€œ[A] blockbuster.â€â€”The New York Times Book Review

â€œMythic storytelling.â€â€”San Francisco Chronicle

â€œMagnificent . . . 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: a story about human beings trying to generate new hope in a world from which all hope has long since been burnt.â€â€”Time

â€œThe type of big, engrossing read that will have you leaving the lights on late into the night.â€â€”The Dallas Morning News

â€œAddictive.â€â€”Menâ€™s Journal

â€œCroninâ€™s unguessable plot and appealing characters will seize your heart and mind.â€â€”Parade
