Publisher's Synopsis
The tension-filled sequel to The Strain, from the world-famous director whose films include Pan's Labyrinth and Hellboy.
It took the world just sixty days to end…
By the time the crisis went to Congress, and was analysed, legislated and ultimately vetoed, we had already lost. The night belonged to them. Leaving us longing for daylight when it was ours no more.
Ephraim Goodweather, director of the New York office of the Centers for Disease control, is one of the few humans who understands what is really happening. Vampires have arrived in New York City, and their condition is contagious. If they cannot be contained, the entire world is at risk of infection.
As Eph becomes consumed with the battle against the total corruption of humanity, his ex-wife, Kelly, a victim of the vampiric strain, is ever-more determined to claim their son, Zack.
And as the origins of the Master who unleashed the epidemic are gradually revealed, Eph learns that there is a greater, more terrible plan in store for the human race - worse even than annihilation…
