The Enemy




The first phenomenal adventure in this edge-of-your-seat series from bestselling author Charlie Higson.

The first phenomenal adventure in a heartstopping new series - now in paperback.

They'll chase you. They'll rip you open. They'll feed on you . . .
When the sickness came, every parent, police officer, politician - every adult - fell ill. The lucky ones died. The others are crazed, confused and hungry.
Only children under fourteen remain, and they're fighting to survive.
Now there are rumours of a safe place to hide. And so a gang of children begin their quest across London, where all through the city - down alleyways, in deserted houses, underground - the grown-ups lie in wait.
But can they make it there - alive?

Charlie Higson

Charlie Higson started writing when he was ten years old, but it was a long time before he got paid for doing it. On leaving university he was the singer in a pop group (The Higsons) before giving it up to become a painter and decorator. It was around this time that he started writing for television on Saturday Night Live. He went on to create the hugely successful comedy series The Fast Show, in which he also appeared. Other TV work includes Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased ) andSwiss Toni.


He is the author of the bestselling Young Bond books, and The Hunted is the fifth book in his current horror series, The Enemy.
