It all comes to an end in the final book in The Enemy series
The sickness struck everyone over fourteen.
First it twisted their minds.
Next it ravaged their bodies.
Now they roam the streets -
Crazed and hungry.
Sickos swarm the streets of London. Gathered in the centre of the city, they lie in wait.
The survivors have one final epic battle to overcome. Together they must work out a plan of attack and end the grown-ups reign of terror before it's too late.
The end is coming.
Read an Extract from The End by Charlie Higson
Paddy hopped from foot to foot on the spot, like an athlete getting ready for his start. Jigging about, loosening up. And then he gave a shout and was off and running remembering Achilleus's instructions coming at the father at an angle, not straight on, just as Achilleus had told him.
As he got closer, he gave a war cry, almost screaming, and he swiped the spear across the father's stomach. He could immediately see it wasn't deep enough or hard enough. It tore open the front of the father's filthy, greasy shirt, but did nothing worse.
The father barely flinched, just swayed slightly and carried on waiting for rain.
Ignoring Paddy.
The hunters cheered and laughed.
Keep on it, soldier,? Achilleus shouted. Come back at him.?
So Paddy swung back the other way and this time the head of his spear dug deep. There was an audible pop, like a balloon bursting, and a spray of blood and brown liquid went all over Paddy who wasn't fast enough to get out of the way. After the liquid came the guts, spilling out and flopping to the ground, releasing a foul stink that made the hunters groan and cover their mouths and noses. The father rocked backwards and forwards and then toppled over on to his back and hit the road with a wet splat and a crack of skull on concrete. Paddy knew he was going to puke!
