Justin Cronin

Amy Harper Bellafonte is six years old and her mother thinks she's the most important person in the whole world. She is... Anthony Carter doesn't think he could ever be in a worse place than Death Row. He's wrong... FBI agent Brad Wolgast thinks something beyond imagination is coming. It is. The Passage.

The Passage

A literary thriller revealed in multiple time frames, The Twelve is a suspenseful tale of the human capacity for sacrifice and the transformative power of renewal. In the present day: As three strangers attempt to navigate the chaos cast upon civilization by a U.S. government experiment gone wrong, their destinies intertwine. More than a hundred years in the future: Amy, Peter, Alicia and the others introduced in The Passage pinpoint the weaknesses of the twelve original vampires . . . even as they confront a betrayal by one of their own.

The Twelve

In life I was a scientist called Fanning. Then, in a jungle in Bolivia, I died. I died, and then I was brought back to life... Prompted by a voice that lives in her blood, the fearsome warrior known as Alicia of Blades is drawn towards to one of the great cities of The Time Before. The ruined city of New York. Ruined but not empty. For this is the final refuge of Zero, the first and last of The Twelve. The one who must be destroyed if mankind is to have a future. What she finds is not what she's expecting. A journey into the past. To find out how it all began. And an opponent at once deadlier and more human than she could ever have imagined.

The City of Mirrors

Die Welt, wie Sie sie kennen, wird es nicht mehr geben! Bevor sie das Mädchen von Nirgendwo wurde - das Mädchen, das plötzlich auftauchte, die Erste und Letzte und Einzige, die tausend Jahre lebte - war sie nur ein kleines Mädchen aus Iowa und hiess Amy. Amy Harper Bellafonte. Das Mädchen Amy ist gerade einmal sechs Jahre alt, als es von zwei FBI-Agenten entführt und auf ein geheimes medizinisches Versuchsgelände verschleppt wird. Man hat lange nach Amy gesucht: der optimalen Versuchsperson für ein mysteriöses Experiment, das nichts Geringeres zum Ziel hat, als Menschen unsterblich zu machen. Doch dann geht irgendetwas schief - völlig schief. Von einem Tag auf den anderen rast die Welt dem Untergang entgegen. Und nur eine kann die Menschheit vielleicht noch retten: Amy Harper Bellafonte. Justin Cronin stammt aus New England und studierte in Harvard. Er besuchte den berühmten Iowa Writers' Workshop und lebt heute mit seiner Frau und seinen Kindern in Houston, Texas, wo er an der Rice University Englische Literatur unterrichtet. Er veröffentlichte zwei Romane, für die er mehrfach ausgezeichnet wurde. Die Übersetzungsrechte an seiner Trilogie, die mit "Der Übergang" begann, wurden innerhalb kürzester Zeit in 23 Länder verkauft.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - "A thrilling finale to a trilogy that will stand as one of the great achievements in American fantasy fiction."--Stephen King You followed The Passage. You faced The Twelve. Now enter The City of Mirrors for the final reckoning. As the bestselling epic races to its breathtaking finale, Justin Cronin's band of hardened survivors await the second coming of unspeakable darkness. The world we knew is gone. What world will rise in its place? The Twelve have been destroyed and the terrifying hundred-year reign of darkness that descended upon the world has ended. The survivors are stepping outside their walls, determined to build society anew--and daring to dream of a hopeful future. But far from them, in a dead metropolis, he waits: Zero. The First. Father of the Twelve. The anguish that shattered his human life haunts him, and the hatred spawned by his transformation burns bright. His fury will be quenched only when he destroys Amy--humanity's only hope, the Girl from Nowhere who grew up to rise against him. One last time light and dark will clash, and at last Amy and her friends will know their fate. Look for the entire Passage trilogy: THE PASSAGE - THE TWELVE - THE CITY OF MIRRORS Praise for The City of Mirrors "Compulsively readable."--The New York Times Book Review "The City of Mirrors is poetry. Thrilling in every way it has to be, but poetry just the same . . . The writing is sumptuous, the language lovely, even when the action itself is dark and violent."--The Huffington Post "This really is the big event you've been waiting for . . . A true last stand that builds and comes with a bloody, roaring payoff you won't see coming, then builds again to the big face off you've been waiting for."--NPR "A masterpiece . . . with The City of Mirrors, the third volume in The Passage trilogy, Justin Cronin puts paid to what may well be the finest post-apocalyptic epic in our dystopian-glutted times. A stunning achievement by virtually every measure."--The National Post "Justin Cronin's Passage trilogy is remarkable for the unremitting drive of its narrative, for the breathtaking sweep of its imagined future, and for the clear lucidity of its language."--Stephen King

"Leia esse livro e o mundo como você o conhece desaparecerá." – Stephen King "Cronin é mestre em criar tensão e jamais desperdiça palavras. Este thriller excepcional deve ser um dos mais populares do ano e atrairá leitores em toda parte." – Library Journal Quase um século depois que uma pesquisa científica financiada pelo Exército dos Estados Unidos foge do controle, tudo o que resta é uma paisagem apocalíptica. As cobaias utilizadas nos experimentos – prisioneiros a caminho do corredor da morte – escaparam do laboratório e iniciaram uma terrível carnificina, alimentando-se de qualquer ser com sangue nas veias e espalhando por todo o continente o vírus inoculado nelas. Um em cada 10 habitantes pode ter sido infectado. Os outros nove se tornaram presas desses virais, criaturas animalescas extremamente ágeis e fortes cujos únicos pontos fracos parecem ser a hipersensibilidade à luz e uma pequena área frágil próxima ao esterno. Em uma fortificação construída nas montanhas, cercada de muralhas de concreto e holofotes superpotentes, uma comunidade tenta sobreviver aos constantes ataques noturnos. Mas a precária estrutura que a protege está com os dias contados: as baterias que alimentam as luzes começam a falhar e uma invasão é iminente. Não se sabe o que aconteceu ao resto do mundo: a comunicação foi cortada, não há governo e o Exército nunca cumpriu a promessa de voltar. Provavelmente estão todos mortos. Mas a chegada de uma misteriosa andarilha traz novas expectativas: ao que tudo indica, ela tem as mesmas habilidades dos virais, mas não sua necessidade de sangue. Agarrando-se a essa esperança, um grupo parte da Colônia para buscar mais sobreviventes – e a verdade fora dos muros. Com uma narrativa tensa e bem-estruturada, Justin Cronin constrói personagens de complexidade psicológica surpreendente. Na transição do mundo que conhecemos para um que não poderíamos imaginar encontra-se uma humanidade sitiada pelos próprios erros.
