The sickness struck everyone over the age of fourteen.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this gore-soaked prequel to The Enemy (2010), Higson expands on the horror inherent in a world where disease has ravaged everyone over age 16, killing many and turning the rest into flesh-eating monsters. When the disease struck the Rowhurst School near London, a handful of students survived, including popular Ed, self-conscious Jack, rugby star Bam, and know-it-all Wiki. Aware that their school is no longer safe, the Rowhurst boys break out, embarking on a brutal quest for a new haven. Along the way they gather more refugees, even as they experience steady attrition due to constant "sicko" attacks and other threats. With religious fanatic Matt, military-minded Jordan, unpredictable adult Greg, and alpha-male David vying for dominance, the future looks rocky. This visceral tale sheds light on several key players in The Enemy, while sealing the fate of others. With the book's immense cast and substantial body count, it doesn't pay to get too attached to any one character, while the intense descriptions of violence and sickness will get under readers' skin. Ages 14 up.
Customer Reviews
the beast series i have ever read
really good book. You always want to read the next chapter. It keeps you interested.
Loving these
Great book, can’t wait too read the sacrifice
Great but not good??!!
A series of books like no other.. Pace, action, comradery, despair, its got it all. I cant put them down, and this one was no different. I did find, however, that something was lacking, it didn't seem to move and felt quite concentrated. The events depicted are five days before the events of the previous book and i had a sensation of already being here, as if this was just a 'filler'.. A good book none the less, thoroughly enjoyed reading it, but an explosive next chapter would be much appreciated.
