This week’s Book of the Week is another eagerly awaited next-book-in-series. This one is Charlie Higson’s The Sacrifice, the fourth book in his The Enemies series about what happens when all the adults get an illness which, basically, turns them into zombies.

The blurb on the back of the book says:

The sickness destroyed everyone over the age of fourteen. All across London diseased adults are waiting, hungry predators with rotten flesh and ravaged minds.

 

Small Sam and his unlikely ally, The Kid, have survived. They’re safe with Ed and his friends at the Tower of London, but Sam is desperate to find his sister.

 

Their search for Ella means Sam and The Kid must cross the forbidden zone. And what awaits them there is more terrifying than any of the horror they’ve suffered so far . . .
