Fiction. Science Fiction. Suspense. Thriller. HTML:#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ? ??A thrilling finale to a trilogy that will stand as one of the great achievements in American fantasy fiction.???Stephen King
You followed The Passage. You faced The Twelve. Now enter The City of Mirrors for the final reckoning. As the bestselling epic races to its breathtaking finale, Justin Cronin??s band of hardened survivors await the second coming of unspeakable darkness.
The world we knew is gone. What world will rise in its place?
The Twelve have been destroyed and the terrifying hundred-year reign of darkness that descended upon the world has ended. The survivors are stepping outside their walls, determined to build society anew??and daring to dream of a hopeful future.
But far from them, in a dead metropolis, he waits: Zero. The First. Father of the Twelve. The anguish that shattered his human life haunts him, and the hatred spawned by his transformation burns bright. His fury will be quenched only when he destroys Amy??humanity??s only hope, the Girl from Nowhere who grew up to rise against him.
One last time light and dark will clash, and at last Amy and her friends will know their fate.
Look for the entire Passage trilogy:

Praise for The City of Mirrors

??Compulsively readable.???The New York Times Book Review
??The City of Mirrors is poetry. Thrilling in every way it has to be, but poetry just the same . . . The writing is sumptuous, the language lovely, even when the action itself is dark and violent.???The Huffington Post
??This really is the big event you??ve been waiting for . . .  A true last stand that builds and comes with a bloody, roaring payoff you won??t see coming, then builds again to the big face off you??ve been waiting for.???NPR
??A masterpiece . . .  with The City of Mirrors, the third volume in The Passage trilogy, Justin Cronin puts paid to what may well be the finest post-apocalyptic epic in our dystopian-glutted times. A stunning achievement by virtually every measure.???The National Post

??Justin Cronin??s Passage trilogy is remarkable for the unremitting drive of its narrative, for the breathtaking sweep of its imagined fu

Das Buch selbst - also die Geschichte - hätte vielleicht nur 4 Sterne bekommen, aber das Hörbuch, gelesen von David Nathan und Dietmar Wunder, hat allein für diese Stimmen den 5. Stern verdient. Ich liebe ja die Hörbücher von David Nathan sowieso, und wie Dietmar Wunder hier Fanning liest passt einfach phänomenal! Eindeutig ein Hör-Highlight für dieses Jahr!

Disappointing. Bloated. Unedited. If Books Two and Three had been slashed and mashed together, yeah, maybe what would have remained would have had the oomph of the first volume. We'll never know. In essence we get a long unbelievably irrelevant and tedious backstory of the two men, Lear and Fanning, at the epicenter of the virus disaster. All it did, for me, was make it hard to sustain any kind of suspension of disbelief. The problem is when one has invested this kind of page-turning time, just throwing the book out the window won't do it. Oh and the Hollywooditis of the last big blowout in NYC was . . . shameful, may I say that? One reason I usually quit a less than three star book besides the fact it is wasting my time, is that posting a one or a two star seems so . . . unkind? It's a lot of work writing a book, even a bad one. Anyhow, this is unavoidable as I did spend the time. A lone star, appropriate given the Texan setting.* ( )

Wow. Even better than the first book. An amazing wrap up to the series, but it would be so great to have another book----just to find out what happens in the next thousand years! ( )

Functionally fine, but every plot of this book had me wondering 'does this appeal to anyone? Definitely not me'. The one exception being the fanning backstory which should have been in book 2 anyways. ( )

A worthy conclusion to the series. ( )

Good morning and welcome, everyone. (Epilogue)
