The visionary creator of the Academy Award-winning "Pan's
Labyrinth" and a Hammett Award-winning author bring their
imaginations to this bold, epic novel about a horrifying battle
between man and vampire that threatens all humanity. It is the
first installment in a thrilling trilogy and an extraordinary
international publishing event.
"The Strain"
They have always been here. Vampires. In secret and in darkness.
Waiting. Now their time has come.
In one week, Manhattan will be gone. In one month, the
country.
In two months--the world.
A Boeing 777 arrives at JFK and is on its way across the tarmac,
when it suddenly stops dead. All window shades are pulled down. All
lights are out. All communication channels have gone quiet. Crews
on the ground are lost for answers, but an alert goes out to the
CDC. Dr. Eph Goodweather, head of their Canary project, a
rapid-response team that investigates biological threats, gets the
call and boards the plane. What he finds makes his blood run
cold.
In a pawnshop in Spanish Harlem, a former professor and survivor
of the Holocaust named Abraham Setrakian knows something is
happening. And he knows the time has come, that a war is brewing .
. .
So begins a battle of mammoth proportions as the vampiric virus
that has infected New York begins to spill out into the streets.
Eph, who is joined by Setrakian and a motley crew of fighters, must
now find a way to stop the contagion and save his city--a city that
includes his wife and son--before it is too late.
