Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Boy on the Bridge is second book of The Hungry Plague series by M. R. Carey, and is a prequel, a.k.a Non-Linear Sequel to the first book, The Girl With All the Gifts. In T.G.W.A.T.G., the main characters stumble upon an abandoned mobile research facility/zombie-proof tank. This land leviathan is named Rosalind Franklin; the last act of the story takes place in and around Rosie. It is never explained how the vehicle came to be where they discovered it, or what happened to the crew who ventured out past the gates of Beacon in search of a cure.T.B.O.T.B......IS that story.To anyone who's read the first book, this novel is on some level a Locked Room Mystery.To anyone interested in scientific discovery, it is about the desperate search for a cure to the Hungry Pathogen.To anyone looking for a top-notch thriller, it is that too.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })And......In the first chapter, it is revealed that one of the twelve crewmembers is pregnant ("...seven weeks into a fifteen-month mission...").What follows, from this premise, is—very simply—epic.

Apocalypse How: The story begins without much detail on the world (being very focused on the lives of its crew and immediate surroundings), but is firmly a Class 1 world. And already teetering on the edge of 2.

Ass Kicking Equals Authority: Often subverted and avoided—the potential for violence is always near at hand, but the characters struggle to maintain composure/balance.

Big Damn Heroes: "....they've probably got a couple of seconds before they have to deal with vertical incoming. But Rosie comes first and she comes like thunder, the sweetest sound McQueen has ever heard."
