Passage Trilogy

Justin Cronin brilliantly imagines the fall of civilization and humanity’s desperate fight to survive in what Stephen King calls “one of the great achievements in American fantasy fiction”—the critically acclaimed, New York Times bestselling Passage series.
 
First, the unthinkable: a security breach at a secret U.S. government facility unleashes the monstrous product of a chilling military experiment. Then, the unspeakable: a night of chaos and carnage gives way to sunrise on a nation, and ultimately a world, forever altered. All that remains for the stunned survivors is the long fight ahead and a future ruled by fear—of darkness, of death, of a fate far worse.
 
Praise for The Passage Trilogy
 
The Passage
 
“Magnificent . . . Cronin has taken his literary gifts, and he has weaponized them. . . . The Passage can stand proudly next to Stephen King’s apocalyptic masterpiece The Stand, but a closer match would be Cormac McCarthy’s The Road.”—Time
  
The Twelve
 
“[A] literary superthriller, driven at once by character and plot.”—The New York Times Book Review
 
The City of Mirrors
 
“Superb . . . ends with all of the heartbreak, joy, and unexpected twists of fate that events in The Passage and The Twelve foreordained.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
