This book is the beginning of the Passage trilogy. I was hooked from the moment I picked up this volume, and I remained completely entranced all the way to the last page of the 3rd (last) volume. Justin Cronin is an amazing author, and this trilogy is definitely one not to miss. If you like sagas full of really interesting people and lots of plot, this is for you. It is speculative fiction about our world and specifically the USA, but a few moments into the future, when something goes badly wrong. The story is, all the once, about fear and despair, hope and love, and about the resilience of the human spirit. Unlike too many trilogies, this saga does NOT flame out at the end, as if the author had no idea how to end it. It ends perfectly. Justin Cronin is a writer to watch. Strongly recommended.
