About this ebook
The first book in the bestselling zombie horror series from the author of Young Bond.
‘Lord of the Flies with zombies, filled with tons of nail-biting action!’ Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson series
Every time he thought they’d gone, he heard them again. Searching for him.
The sickness struck everyone over fourteen. First it twisted their minds. Next it ravaged their bodies. Now these zombies roam the streets, crazed and hungry.
In a destroyed London, the young hide in gangs, scavenging to survive, but with little hope for the future. Until rumours of a safe house travel across the city. But to get there they must face the Enemy – the mindless zombies who lie in wait.
Can these kids trust each other long enough to make it out alive?
Don’t miss the next book in this edge-of-your-seat series: The Dead.
‘The Enemy scores high with its brutal vision of a post-apocalyptic world’ Financial Times
‘Clever . . . fast paced . . . inventive’ Guardian

I read a lot of Higson's earlier novels years ago and loved them too. This is similar. Easy read. Short chapters (which I love). Good story.

It's an amazing book and is worth the money. Every line of every sentence
wouldn't bring you to the end of your seats ;it's probably more likely to
make you fall of your chair. It's definitely the best book I've ever laid
my eyes on . At the moment I am close to finishing the series but wish that
the series was never ending.🏆🏆🏆.

So many post-apocalyptic books fail epically but this one does not! Absolutely brilliant series, non-stop action and a new take on the zombie thriller!
