The Passage - Justin Cronin

   
    December 21, 2012 was said to be the end of the world, but we survived!   If you are a fan of end-of-the-world, zombie-ish/vampire-ish fiction, grab The Passage by Justin Cronin.  The book is part of a trilogy and book two, The Twelve, recently came out last year.

     The Passage is about Project Noah, a military experiment where 12 death row convicts are injected with a virus created to make humans immortal and extremely strong.  But the experiment goes horribly wrong and the virus quickly spreads through America; you are either killed/eaten or taken up as a 'viral'.    The story then moves years into the future where a small pocket of survivors venture out to see what is left of the world.     This book reminds me so much of I Am Legend.  I guarantee that you will love it.

Rating: 5 stars!
