The sequel to Higson's The Enemy is actually a prequel! But it does go a long way into explain how the London (and presumably the rest of England) has been infected by a mystery virus.
Ed and Jack lead a band of boys who have survived the initial infection, in an attempt to escape the chaos of the adults who have succumbed to the virus.
They come under the 'protection' of Greg, a bus driver, who has collected a number of survivors on his tour bus.
Fast paced and action packed - the boys fight there way through to London - in the hope of finding other survivors, more food and a safe refuge. Pretty gruesome in places - mature teen reader material.
If you enjoyed The Enemy then this is a must. Book number three is due out this year - check out Higson's website here
