Enemy

**Series: Enemy** **Author: Charlie Higson** In a London overrun by a terrifying epidemic that has decimated the adult population, only the brave and the desperate remain. The world is now a twisted echo of its former self, where the streets are strewn with decay, and the remnants of society are too often haunted by the shadows of their elders—now grotesque and predatory beings. At the heart of this desolate landscape is a ragtag group of resilient teenagers, led by the fiercely determined Ed, who has sworn to protect his friends at all costs. With dwindling supplies and hope flickering like a dying star, they embark on a perilous journey towards the rumored sanctuary of Buckingham Palace, driven not just by survival but the longing for safety and the youthful desire for adventure. As they traverse the twisted alleys of a city they once called home, the group faces sinister threats at every turn—flesh-eating adults, betrayal from within, and the haunting specter of isolation. Higson weaves a gripping tale of friendship, courage, and the fight against despair, exploring themes of loyalty, loss, and the haunting memories of a lost childhood. With every step they take, the stakes grow higher, propelling them deeper into a battle not just for survival, but for the very essence of their humanity. **Will they find sanctuary, or is the journey itself the true enemy?** Dive into this exhilarating saga and discover the chilling world of *Enemy*, where trust is rare, hope is elusive, and danger lurks around every corner.
