À propos de cet audio

 One exceptional boy journeys into the ashes of society to find the cure for a devastating plague in this riveting post-apocalyptic standalone set in the same world as the USA Today-bestselling The Girl With All the Gifts.

Once upon a time, in a land blighted by terror, there was a very clever boy.

The people thought the boy could save them, so they opened their gates and sent him out into the world.

To where the monsters lived.

I loved this book and how it tied into the girl with all the gifts at the end.

The narrator is so good too.

I highly recommend both The Girl With All the Gifts and The Boy on the Bridge

Loved it

This is the prequel to "The Girl With All The Gifts" but was written second and should definitely be read second. Although it mostly deals with the events before TGWATG leading up to the abandonment of the research tank "Rosalind Franklin", the ending is set several decades in the future and ties up BOTH books with a conclusion that would be a bit spoilery, or at best somewhat meaningless, if you haven't read TGWATG first.

That said, Carey has managed to create another great book in a post-zombie-apocalyptic Britain and I liked this as much as the first, although the middle sequences of both are definitely quite similar (soldiers & scientists arguing and politicking in travelling tank). There are interesting new characters, the main ones being Stephen Greaves, a brilliant boy on the autistic spectrum who is the inventor of e-blocker, and Samrina Khan, a researcher and adoptive mother of Stephen who finds herself pregnant while on a research expedition surrounded by zombies. I'd have liked to see more of Colonel Carlysle, the military head of the expedition and the man who was in charge of the devastating and futile firebombing attempts to stop the spread of the zombie plague.

Anyway, if you enjoyed the first you'll enjoy this one as it fills in many of the missing details from the first and ties the story up in a satisfying ending.

Prequel AND sequel to The Girl with All the Gifts

While I read many reviews with the usual feedback about sequels, “it’s not as good as the first”, I do not agree. It seems to be popular to devalue a sequel and I’d like to actively push back here: this was a compelling story that I found myself listening to at every opportunity. I would advise reading Girl with All the Gifts first, for context, and to make the epilogue as neat and tidy as possible.
Strong recommendation for any fans of both zombies and hard science fiction (more biology and military here than space).

Hard to stop listening!
