Justin Cronin’s first book in The Passage trilogy generated a bidding war among publishers, ultimately selling for more than $3 million. The first two novels in the series, The Passage and The Twelve, depict the fall of civilization and humanity’s desperate fight to survive. This bestselling apocalyptic series races to its breathtaking finale with City of Mirrors; it begins with quiet calm on the horizon and challenges the reader to determine if the silence indicates the nightmare’s end or the second coming of unspeakable darkness. A celebrated author, Cronin has won the PEN/Hemingway Award and received a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship.
