About this listen

Amy Harper Bellafonte is six years old, and her mother thinks she's the most important person in the whole world. She is.... Anthony Carter doesn't think he could ever be in a worse place than Death Row.... He's wrong. FBI agent Brad Wolgast thinks something beyond imagination is coming.... It is. The Passage.

Deep in the jungles of eastern Colombia, Professor Jonas Lear has finally found what he's been searching for - and wishes to God he hadn't. In Memphis, Tennessee, a six-year-old girl called Amy is left at the convent of the Sisters of Mercy and wonders why her mother has abandoned her.

In a maximum security jail in Nevada, a convicted murderer called Giles Babcock has the same strange nightmare, over and over again, while he waits for a lethal injection. In a remote community in the California mountains, a young man called Peter waits for his beloved brother to return home - so he can kill him. Bound together in ways they cannot comprehend, for each of them a door is about to open into a future they could not have imagined.

And a journey is about to begin. An epic journey that will take them through a world transformed by man's darkest dreams, to the very heart of what it means to be human. And beyond. The Passage.

!! EPIC !!

This story takes a while to wind up, but when it has finally finished the winding you are rewarded for enduring through with characters that have unique identities within a story that has loads of depth.
At first I was a bit disappointed and impatient with the wind up, but now I have finished this book I cannot see any other way to paint the picture required.
I loved the story and have purchased the next story.
This is a truly epic story, with a huge timeline, and I can't wait to see where it all ends up.

A great story of survival

It took a little time to get into the book and the author does sometimes go off the beaten track with details that aren't really relevant but the storyline and characters were intriguing.
I bought it purely as I was wanting to listen to one book on a long car journey and this would not have been my normal choice. I I would have overlooked it if I had thought it a vampire story. But this is so much more than a vampire story, its about survival and friendships. By the end I was excited to read the 2nd and the final in the trilogy. Scott brick was the perfect narrator.

Interesting!

I quite liked the story and characters, but I did struggle to stay interested sometimes. As soon as I started liking one group of characters, the setting completely changes and they're now (for the most part) out of the story!

Addictive

This start to a long story. Overall, addictive but at times the details would drag you out a bit.

Long, but I actually really liked it!

Any additional comments?

Okay, so this was a marathon book. 36hours or something. It was huge. But it didn't feel laborious. It was a good spin on an old idea about freaky vampire people, some classic hero/heroines and solid storytelling. That said, this is the only book in the series I liked and finished.
