Reviews

Read this book and the ordinary world disappears

Cronin's massive novel transcends its cliches ... It's not only a brilliantly told story, with thrilling plot twists and graphic action sequences, but a moving psychological portrait of survivors facing up to the poignant fact of a lost past and a horrifically uncertain future - Guardian on THE PASSAGE

The stuff of reading frenzies - Sunday Telegraph on THE PASSAGE

Enthralling ... Cronin writes with verve and versatility, and is just as good in action scenes as he is in handling more literary material ... Above all, Amy is a superb creation, believably human yet beguilingly enigmatic - Sunday Times on THE PASSAGE

Epic, apocalyptic, heart-wrenching, catastrophic, mesmerising... - Daily Mirror on THE PASSAGE

A terrifying apocalyptic thriller, populated by believable, sympathetic characters. Once you start reading it, you won't want it to end - The Times on THE PASSAGE
