Not long from now, in a recognisable yet changed London, Signy and Matthew lead a dull, difficult life. They've only really stayed together for the sake of their six year old son, Jed. But they're surviving, just about. Until the day the technology that runs their world stops working. Unable to use their phones, pay for anything, even open the smart door to their flat, Matthew assumes that this is just a momentary glitch in the computers that now run the world.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 87
In a steel-and-lead-encased bunker 20 feet below the basement level of his house, a soldier waits for his final orders. On the surface, a plague ravages the planet, infecting over 90% of the populace. The bacterium burrows through the brain, destroying all signs of humanity and leaving behind little more than base, prehistoric instincts. The infected turn into hyper-aggressive predators, with an insatiable desire to kill and feed. Someday soon, the soldier will have to open the hatch to his bunker, and step out into this new wasteland, to complete his mission....

Cassie Forrest isn't surprised to learn that the day she’s decided to get her life together is also the day the world ends. After all, she’s been on a self-imposed losing streak since her survivalist parents died: she’s stopped painting, broken off her engagement to Adrian and dated a real jerk. Rectifying her mistakes has to wait, however, because Cassie and her friends have just enough time to escape Brooklyn for her parents’ cabin before Bornavirus LX turns them into zombies, too.

This forest isn't charted on any map. Every car breaks down at its treeline. Mina's is no different. Left stranded, she is forced into the dark woodland only to find a woman shouting, urging Mina to run to a concrete bunker. As the door slams behind her, the building is besieged by screams. Mina finds herself in a room with a wall of glass, and an electric light that activates at nightfall, when the watchers come above ground. These creatures emerge to observe their captive humans and terrible things happen to anyone who doesn't reach the bunker in time.

When the Imagine Network commissioned a documentary on mermaids, to be filmed from the cruise ship Atargatis, they expected what they had always received before: an assortment of eyewitness reports that proved nothing, some footage that proved even less, and the kind of ratings that only came from peddling imaginary creatures to the masses.

Fabulous..As good as the first!
Wow! The Girl With All The Gifts is right up there in my list of favourite books, and this sequel/prequel is equally as good.
Set 10 years before the first book, this one answers some questions and ties in beautifully...I had chills at the end. And if you enjoyed The Girl With All The Gifts, you will definitely enjoy The Boy on the Bridge!

A lovely listen.
Diverse and high-quality character development.
Ties in neatly with 'the girl with all the gifts'.
Delightfully unpredictable.
My favourite audible narrator so far.

a bit slow at times but worth persisting.
A little bit slow at first but comes together well. makes the series of 2 books a really good read. many series seem to run out of steam and finish lamely, this does not.

A solid sequel that can be read solo.
Not as mind blowing as the first book but a great ride all the same. Plenty of surprises, action and moments of horror along the way. Lovely to read an author that has so successfully re-asserted the genre as one that can discuss what is “human” and human agency in the context of crisis and survival. I very much enjoyed and would love to see another but happy with how it ended all the same.

Another absolute corker!!!
Of course, my second ever review is of the second of these astonishing books set in the world of serious fungal infections and seriously fucked up interpretations of medical ethics and general morality. Like it's precursor, The Girl With All The Gifts, The Boy etc is a strong commentary on the basic question of what it means to be "human". And, like The Girl, The Boy is profoundly poignant in its delivery of the pertinent particulars of what it really means to not only be "human", but to be a bloody good "human". Zombie lit, like all lit, is rife with commentary on this and that. I mean, the amount of times TWD made me cry not because someone got brutally dead but because of the overall message and sentiment... But The Girl and The Boy, in my opinion, really hit the nail bang on. There's a lot to be learned from these books. So much so that I am now about to order the hard copies so that I can read them as closely as possible. As was the case with The Girl, the narration and delivery of The Boy is wonderful, perfect, gives the text so much more life. That wonderful duality one feels in the gentle, lulling tones of her voice presenting some truly horrific scenes and ideas is absolutely friggin great. Truly just amazing. But, I also want to be able to hear the character's voices and see them on my own terms and these books are so good that they definitely deserve that extra bit of attention. Also, I was very grateful and very moved by the epilogue of this book. I didn't think it would, but it did go there. And that just made it so much more special. It made me feel really great that two amazing people would come together under such fraught and perilous circumstances. It gives you everything you need from any kind of story and rounds out some incredible character arcs in a beautiful way. An honestly astonishingly original and beautiful take on zombie lore, I cannot recommend these books enough to anyone who enjoys a tear jerker, enjoys delving into the utter existential horror of a zombie apocalypse, or just enjoys a truly captivating, well written and we'll narrated piece of literature. Many thanks to all involved in the creation of these books. Namaste.

Thoroughly enjoyed the first book, but found this one to be less engaging. The storyline was quite slow. Really loved the beautful ending though - made the book worth the listen!
