Cronin has taken his literary gifts, and he has weaponized them. . . . The Passage can stand proudly next to Stephen King’s apocalyptic masterpiece The Stand, but a closer match would be Cormac McCarthy’s The Road: a story about human beings trying to generate new hope in a world from which all hope has long since been burnt.” — Time “The type of big, engrossing read that will have you leaving the lights on late into the night.” — The Dallas Morning News “Addictive.” — Men’s Journal “Cronin’s unguessable plot and appealing characters will seize your heart and mind.” — Parade
