The Twelve (The Passage #2)
Justin Cronin
Large paperback
In The Passage, twelve prisoners sentenced to death were used in a military experiment that sought to create the invincible soldier. But the experiment went terribly wrong. A virus inoculated into the test subjects ended any vestige of their humanity and they escaped, killing or infecting anyone who crossed their path. Those infected became virals obedient to their creator, another one of his Many.
In the chaos that ensued, the only chance for survival for the human species were highly protected fortifications. Thus was formed the First Colony, a stronghold safe from the virals, but isolated from the rest of the world.
Ninety-two years later, a wanderer appeared at the gates of the Colony. It was Amy Harper Bellafonte, the Girl from Nowhere, the one who would lead a group of colonists and eliminate the number 1 test subject, Gilles Babcock, freeing her Many.
Now, five years after having crossed the Dark Lands in search of answers and salvation, her group is separated. Each one went their separate ways, but their destinies will soon cross again, in a definitive clash against a deadly threat. Fanning, the Zero, the one who started the apocalypse, has plans to rebuild the group of Twelve and has a powerful ally, willing to do anything in the name of his own immortality.
The second book in the trilogy The Passage, The Twelve makes us question the human mind, scientific advances and the search for power that leads to a dark certainty of our capacity for evil. But, above all, it reinforces our hope in a humanity that adapts, survives and does not give up.
