About this listen

A brand-new heart-stopping audiobook from Charlie Higson, author of the best-selling Young Bond series, read by Paul Whitehouse - the most exciting thing you'll hear all year.

They'll chase you. They'll rip you open. They'll feed on you....

When the sickness came, every parent, policeman, politician - every adult - fell ill. The lucky ones died. The others are crazed, confused and hungry.

Only children under 14 remain whole, 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?

GIVE ME THE SEQUEL S!

I've read this story and the next one so I may be a little baised but I really enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone who can tolerate a little bit of cringy British Bravado.

I'm disappointed the sequels have not been added.

excellent voice acting, good knowledge of local accents

story towards the end can be a little bit hard to follow especially with so many accents being jumped in and out of

Could not finish

From an almost monotonous oration to the slow plot development, I could not complete this book. A good concept but an odd execution. My biggest question is why are the adults almost always referred to as mother or father? Typically no in depth descriptions, and while they occasionally are referred to as adults, it’s rather off putting that more often than not they’re referred to as parents.
