The Passage
Book • 2010
The Passage is set in a near-future world where a government experiment involving a virus from a South American bat species leads to an apocalyptic outbreak.
The virus transforms people into superhuman, vampire-like creatures known as 'virals'.
The story follows FBI agent Brad Wolgast and six-year-old Amy Harper Bellafonte as they navigate this new world.
The novel spans over a century, beginning with the origins of the virus and its immediate aftermath, and then jumping forward 93 years to follow a colony of survivors in California.
The narrative is rich in character development and uses various storytelling devices such as emails, journal entries, and newspaper reports to paint a vivid picture of a world in collapse and the resilience of its survivors.
