The first book in the bestselling zombie horror series from the author of Young Bond.

The first book in the bestselling zombie horror series from the author of Young Bond.

Lord of the Flies with zombies, filled with tons of nail-biting action!’ Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson series

Every time he thought they’d gone, he heard them again. Searching for him.

The sickness struck everyone over fourteen. First it twisted their minds. Next it ravaged their bodies. Now these zombies roam the streets, crazed and hungry.

In a destroyed London, the young hide in gangs, scavenging to survive, but with little hope for the future. Until rumours of a safe house travel across the city. But to get there they must face the Enemy – the mindless zombies who lie in wait.

Can these kids trust each other long enough to make it out alive?

Don’t miss the next book in this edge-of-your-seat series: The Dead.
