by Charlie Higson

Overview

The Enemy is among us . . . First the sickness rotted the adults' minds. Then their bodies. Now they stalk the streets of London, hunting human flesh. The Holloway crew are survivors. They've fought their way across the city and made it to the Natural History Museum alive--just barely. But their fight will never end while the Enemy lives, unless there's another way. . . . The kids at the museum are looking for a cure. All they need are medical supplies.To get them they must venture down unfamiliar streets, where it isn't only crazed, hungry sickos who lurk in the shadows. In this fifth terrifying entry in Charlie Higson's Enemy series, suddenly it's not so clear who--or what--the enemy is.

Editorial Reviews

After four emotion-attacking Enemy installments, it seemed impossible that Charlie Higson's Fallen would actually heighten the intensity of this zombie-like monster series, but it does. Maxie, Blue, Ollie, and the rest of the Holloway crew now need to go into overdrive to find ways to terminate the insidious invaders before they can devour the remaining survivors of London. (P.S. This exclusive edition contains a comic based on a scene in the book.)

PRAISE FOR THE ENEMY

The Enemy grabs you by the throat . . . and bites off your ear. It's kids versus zombies and no one is playing nice. The action—and boy, is there action—takes us through a London transformed by the unexplained illness that has turned every adult into a shuffling, drooling, kid-crunching machine. Bonus: zombie royals. Sheer fun."— Michael Grant, author of the Gone series
