'Move over King, Chuck Wendig is the new voice of modern American horror'Adam Christopher<br>__________________________________________________________________________<br><br>The thrilling sequel to the bestsellingWanderers, a'career-defining epic [that] deserves its inevitable comparisons to Stephen King'sThe Stand'. (Publishers Weekly)<br><br>Five years ago, they walked across America to a destination only they knew. The sleepwalkers, as the rest of the country named them, were followed by their shepherds: friends and family who gave up everything to protect them.<br>They finally stopped in Ouray, a small town of Colorado that would become one of the last outposts of human civilisation. Because the sleepwalking epidemic was just the first in a chain of events that led to the end of the world - and the birth of a new one.<br><br>The shepherds and the sleepwalkers, now awake, strive to rebuild the world that was taken from them. Among them are Benji, the scientist struggling through grief to lead; Marcy, the former police officer who just wants to protect those she loves; and Shana, the first to become a shepherd and whose bravery is sorely needed.<br><br>But the people of Ouray are not the only survivors, and the world they're building is fragile. Cruelty builds under the leadership of self-proclaimed president Ed Creel, and in the very heart of Ouray itself is Black Swan, the A.I. who dreamt up the apocalypse.<br><br>Against these threats, Benji, Marcy, Shana and the others have to find hope in each other. Because the only way to survive is together.<br><br>PRAISE FOR WANDERERS:<br><br>'A suspenseful, twisty, satisfying, surprising, thought-provoking epic.'Harlan Coben, #1New York Timesbestselling author ofRun Away<br><br>'A true tour de force.'Erin Morgenstern,New York Timesbestselling author ofThe Night Circus<br><br>'WithWanderers, Chuck Wendig levels up and when you consider the high level he was already writing at, that's saying something.'John Scalzi,New York Timesbestselling author ofCrucible
