The Passage (TV Tie-In): A Novel (Book One of the Passage Trilogy)

Front Cover
Doubleday Canada, Dec 31, 2018 - Fiction - 800 pages
The first book of the blockbuster trilogy is the basis for the buzzed-about Fox TV series, The Passage, set to premiere in Canada in early 2019.

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 civilization'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.
