Description

At the end of THE PASSAGE, the great viral plague had left a small group of survivors clinging to life amidst a world transformed into a nightmare. In the second volume of this epic trilogy, this same group of survivors, led by the mysterious, charismatic Amy, go on the attack, leading an insurrection against the virals: the first offensives of the Second Viral War. To do this, they must infiltrate a dozen hives, each presided over by one of the original Twelve. Their secret weapon: Alicia, transformed at the end of book one into a half human, half viral - but whose side, in the end, is she really on?

The 2nd of the Passage Trilogy and I still feel Cronin is leading me by the nose just enough to buy the third novel. There were times in the Twelve where I thought great, it's coming together and then it disintegrated into another goul-fest. My ratings went from 3 to 4 to 5 then back to 4 to finish at 3.
