Editorial Reviews

Hajime Isayama's ongoing Attack on Titan manga series is mega-popular, with sales of 36 million copies and counting. This light novel, written and illustrated by a pair of manga specialist, serves as the first book in a prequel series to the Attack on Titan. Before The Fall renders the story of an infant "child of the Titans" who creates quite a stir in the beleaguered world of humans. A brisk read for dystopian fans; a trade paperback and NOOK Book original.
