THE PASSAGE by Justin Cronin. The modern answer to THE STAND? Werthead Send a noteboard - 13/04/2010 02:42:06 PM
Currently reading The Passage by Justin Cronin, a massive ( 800 pages in tradeback) novel about the end of the world. Very well-written with a real epic feeling to events. It reminds me very much (in a non-derivative way) of The Stand, although hopefully without the sucky ending.

Looking at the proposed media blitz from Orion in the UK and the US publishers, including much being made of the fact that Ridely Scott has bought the film rights already, I am anticipating this being one of the higher-profile releases of the year.
