About This Book
The second volume of Justin Cronin's Passage Trilogy. In the aftermath of a viral apocalypse that has transformed most of humanity into monstrous creatures called virals, a small band of survivors must confront the twelve original test subjects whose bites first spread the plague. Interweaving timelines from the days of the catastrophe and a century later, The Twelve is a vast, propulsive post-apocalyptic epic.
