"It happened fast. Thirty-two minutes for one world to die, another to
be born."
An epic and gripping tale of catastrophe and survival, The Passage is
the story of Amy--abandoned by her mother at the age of six, pursued and
then imprisoned by the shadowy figures behind a government experiment of
apocalyptic proportions. 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 escape--but he can't stop society'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
"[A] blockbuster."--The New York Times Book Review
"Mythic storytelling."--San Francisco Chronicle
"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: a story about human beings trying to
generate new hope in a world from which all hope has long since been
burnt."--Time
"The type of big, engrossing read that will have you leaving the lights
on late into the night."--The Dallas Morning News
"Addictive."--Men's Journal
"Cronin's unguessable plot and appealing characters will seize your
heart and mind."--Parade
