WINNER of the ITW THRILLER AWARD - Best Young Adult Novel

THE FIRST BOOK IN THE HIGH-OCTANE YOUNG ADULT ADVENTURE THRILLER SERIES FROM BESTSELLING AUTHOR GREGG HURWITZ.

It´s never really been my thing to be the brave one - that´s always been my older brother Patrick - but something world-changing is happening in our small town of Creek´s Cause. Parasites have infected everyone over the age of eighteen, making them violent, and if they even sniff a kid they either bash our brains in or take us back to their creepy lair.

We´re trapped at the school with the other remaining survivors, including Patrick´s girlfriend Alex, and we don´t know how long we´ll last. The school is surrounded by infected adults, and we´re sure that there is something else out there, something controlling the people that used to be our parents, our guardians.

But here´s the real problem, Patrick is turning eighteen in a few days, so it´s up to me - Chance Rain - to find a way to save him. And maybe, just maybe if we survive the next few weeks then we can help save humanity.

From the New York Times bestselling author of Orphan X and comics in the Batman, Wolverine, and Punisher universes comes The Rains, a thrilling adventure as relentless as The Hunger Games and as page-turning as Rick Yancey´s The 5th Wave.
