In charge of this process is the Child, who delights in draconian rules, monitoring behaviour and confiscating treasured books.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The end of the world was only the beginning.

In the present day, as the man-made apocalypse unfolds, three strangers navigate the chaos.
Lila, a doctor and an expectant mother, is so shattered by the spread of violence and infection that she continues to plan for her child’s arrival even as society dissolves around her.
Kittridge, known to the world as “Last Stand in Denver,” has been forced to flee his stronghold and is now on the road, dodging the infected, armed but alone and well aware that a tank of gas will get him only so far.
April is a teenager fighting to guide her little brother safely through a landscape of death and ruin.
These three will learn that they have not been fully abandoned—and that in connection lies hope, even on the darkest of nights.
One hundred years in the future, Amy and the others fight on for humankind’s salvation .

The enemy has evolved, and a dark new order has arisen with a vision of the future infinitely more horrifying than man’s extinction.
If the Twelve are to fall, one of those united to vanquish them will have to pay the ultimate price.

Published by Mulholland BooksPublished since 2017-07-18
Rowan Petty is a conman down on his luck.
He's flat broke, living out of cheap hotels, and wondering how it all went wrong.
His car quits on him in Reno, and he takes a job there on the bottom rung of a lousy phone scam.
When he's not swindling lonely widows, he tries to turn nickels into dimes at the poker table.
One snowy night, he crosses paths with a sweet-talking hooker who's tired of the streets, and sparks fly.
When an old friend of his turns up spreading a rumor about two million dollars in army money smuggled out of Afghanistan and stashed in an apartment in Los Angeles, it seems like a chance at the score of a lifetime.
So Petty and the hooker head south, and straight into trouble.
A wounded vet, a washed-up actor, and Petty's estranged daughter are all players in the dangerous game they find themselves caught up in.
For the winner: a fortune.
For the loser: a bullet to the head.
Propulsive, suspenseful, and written with a searing lyricism, The Smack shows once again that "Lange is a writer firing on all cylinders who belongs in the top tier of novelists working today" ( Omaha World-Herald).
