Publisher Description

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?

"I just read this-- I knew about it for awhile, but I thought it sounded too much like a zombified version of Michael Grant's Gone series at the time, and considering I had just bought the third book, I decided to cool it. But upon reading it I really, really liked this book and recommend it to any fans of the series. It's a fun, fast-paced ride- though if you're looking for a surge of brilliance, keep looking."

    " This was a really great book. It took place in London in the aftermath of a disease that turned everyone above 16 into kid-crunching zombies. There are many groups of kids all under the age of 16 all over London surviving and fighting of the "grown-ups". I would recommend this book to most people. "

    " Well, Charlie Higson's young bond series was amazing. But this book let me down, it was way to depressing! Everyone seems to die and it feels like there is no hero.... "
