Synopsis
"A brilliant, terrifying, rule-breaking reimagining of the zombie novel. Hurwitz pulls no punches and takes no prisoners."―Jonathan Maberry, NYT bestselling author of Rot & Ruin, on The Rains
Phase one of the invasion is over.
The small town of Creek's Cause is decimated, a war zone.
Everyone over the age of eighteen years is either dead or unrecognizable,
all transformed into vicious, inhuman beings.
The kids and teens who remain hide in the high school, struggling to survive―at least until their eighteenth birthdays.
But phase two is about to begin...
And the Rain brothers might be humanity's only hope of survival.

Reviews
Gr 7 Up—Following phase one of the spore invasion that turned everyone 18 and older into vicious inhuman beings in The Rains, this sequel is an edge-of-your seat test of constant survival. The Hosts, adults transformed into unrecognizable monsters, paved the way for the invaders and turned the small town of Creek's Cause into a world only found in nightmares. Finding refuge in the local high school after the invasion, Chance and Patrick Rain continue the struggle to survive and keep the rest of the "under eighteen-year-olds" safe and orderly. Facing opposition, the two brothers, along with Alex, Patrick's girlfriend, work together to tfind a "cure" that will save the others from being turned into ferocious monsters the minute they turn 18. Not only do the survivors of the first attack have to fight the Hosts; now a new breed of predatory creatures has spawned and spread across the world, devouring all living things in its path. Chance is discovered by alien rebels who reveal how to stop the invasion and its required cost. This installment continues the fast-paced action of the first book in the series. Fresh writing and characterization sets this work apart from other zombie novels. VERDICT A definite purchase where the first book is popular. If the first book isn't already in the library, it should be.—Amy Caldera, Dripping Springs Middle School, TX
