It uses material from the Wikipedia article "The Passage (novel)". The Passage debuted at #3 on the New York Times hardcover fiction best seller list, and remained on the list 7 additional weeks. It is the first novel of a planned trilogy; the second book The Twelve was released in 2012, with the third book The City of Mirrors due to be released in 2014.SettingThe Passage begins in the near future and details an apocalyptic and, later, post-apocalyptic world that is overrun by vampire-like beings who are infected by a highly contagious virus. What begins as a project to develop a new immunity-boosting drug based on a virus carried by an unnamed species of bat in South America eventually becomes the virus that transforms the world. The novel begins in 2014 and spans more than ninety years, as colonies of humans attempt to live in a world filled with superhuman creatures who are continually on the hunt for fresh blood.Plot The novel is broken into 11 parts of varying lengths. The story itself is broken into two sections: The first and shorter section covers the origins of the virus and its outbreak, while the second is set 93 years after the infections, primarily following a colony of survivors living in California. Several narrative devices are used, including email, journal entries, newspaper reports, and other documents. Occasional use is made of reference material from 1,000 years after the outbreak, coming from "The Journal of Sara Fisher", sourced from a future "University of New South Wales, Indo-Australian Republic".The U.S. government is conducting a top secret experiment referred to as "Project Noah," which involves acquiring and transporting death row inmates to a secret military compound in Colorado for the purposes of modifying them into super-soldiers for the U.S. Army. These genetic experiments originate from patient zero Fanning - one of two surviving members of an expedition investigating a Bolivian bat-carried virus. The virus, while eventually causing hemorrhagic fever and death in initial subjects, is being refined to accentuate its other properties - boosting of the immune system, enhanced strength and agility.====This article is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License.

Four plot lines emerge: an autistic young school bus driver named Danny decides to take his bus on his rounds one more time, a military sniper named Kittridge holes up on a high floor of a Denver apartment building and begins shooting virals, Lawrence Grey; a janitor from the complex that Project Noah began in wakes up in a hotel only to find himself younger and slimmer than he used to be and Horace Guilder (a dying federal government functionary) copes with the country falling apart around him.=============This article is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License.
