The Twelve is a Ten!
by David Cavaco
6 months ago

The Twelve continues right along where the Passage left off but this time the story is more fast-paced, more action and more gore. The huge cast of characters may be overbearing at times so the book requires your full attention. Cronin's despiction of post-viral America and the rich details of the characters enhances the plot. I promise that the ending will not disappoint but make you look really forward to the last installment if the trilogy.
