comment
A 2010 horror/post-apocalyptic novel by Justin Cronin, the first of a trilogy. The Twelve came out in October 2012, and The City of Mirrors was released in May 2016.The novel concerns a secret government experiment with a virus that makes vampires. So far, there have been thirteen subjects: the Twelve, inmates on death row convinced to join the program in exchange for not dying, and Zero, one of the scientists that discovered the virus.Brad Wolgast is an FBI agent assigned to finding and convincing the death row inmates to join the program - until the last subject he needed to find was Amy Harper Bellafonte, a six year old girl.Wolgast has no choice. He has to turn her over, but as soon as he does something catastrophic happens. The Twelve escape. The virus gets loose.Though that story is an epic in itself, it is merely the introduction to a larger conflict set decades later, following a young man named Peter Jaxon trying to make sense of himself and the world Wolgast wrought. Disaster befalls his settlement, prompting a journey that takes him across the former North American continent, searching for the truth behind the virus.A film adaptation of the novel will be directed by Matt Reeves, who previously directed Let Me In and Cloverfield. In January 2019 a TV adaptation began airing on FOX.The sequel, titled The Twelve, continues Jaxon's story five years later with flashbacks to the time of the viral outbreak covering the story behind Wolgast's ex-wife Lila and the forebears of important characters in Jaxon's time. The threat of the viral progenitors, twelve death-row inmates and one scientist who underwent experimental treatments, looms larger and Peter Jaxon and Amy race to find a true solution to the world-ravaging virus.Not to be confused with the 1979 film The Passage, which is an adaptation of the book Perilous Passage. It is also unrelated to the 2002 Connie Willis novel Passage, or to the 2007 freeware game Passage

Awful Truth
 The Passage / int_363f94c9
comment
Awful Truth: The First Colony has a couple of these. They forbid on pain of exile (death) telling children of the hellish reality until they are 8 years old; until then they're raised in a cloistered school with no view of the outside. Ironically, the more critical fact that the batteries that run the vampire-repelling lights are failing and cannot be repaired or replaced is withheld from the Colony at large by Michael. He reasons that with no options, informing now would only destroy the relative happiness they have left.

Character Development
 The Passage / int_3b113b7
comment
Character Development: Quite a few examples, although characters don't always change for the better. Theo Jaxon is bitter, jaded and completely disillusioned with life. He later finds more purpose with the revelation of the world outside the Colony and his new life with Mausami. Anthony Carter is a passive man of low intelligence who just lets people walk all over him but he gradually becomes a self-sacrificing and noble man at odds with his own nature. Horace Guilder was a lonely but well-intentioned man who slowly turns into a monster. Amy is just a little girl who's shy and near-mute, but ultimately takes a stronger leadership role and forms strong bonds with the Colony Apostles. Sykes begins as a Well-Intentioned Extremist but becomes disillusioned and self-loathing as Project Noah progresses.

"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot
 The Passage / int_44989f6f
comment
"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: If Project NOAH had been conducting remotely thorough and ethical science with professional staff who might report problems, they probably learn what the virals are capable of early enough to stop it. Scratch military forces can defeat virals a hundred years later. A full military approaching the outbreak as an intelligent enemy would likely have succeeded. If the experiment continued that long in the first place.

Not Using the "Z" Word
 The Passage / int_525df529
comment
Not Using the "Z" Word: Played with. In the beginning, "vampire" is used to deride the project with the virus. After the virus is let loose, people come up with various names for them - virals, smokes, jumpers - but they all admit that they are vampires. The point is underlined when, in the future, most viral hunters and soldiers refer to Dracula as an excellent introduction to the basics of defense against jumpers because the weaknesses detailed happen to be surprisingly accurate. Presumably, in the universe of the books, the story of Dracula was influenced by ancient reports of infected virals.

Scavenger World: Everything has pretty much just been left to rot. Vorhees even has a theory that other countries probably tried to take advantage of America's collapse to get their hands on gold deposits and valuable nuclear weapons. Chances are, they brought the Virus back to their countries with them.

Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds
 The Passage / int_7ec94d53
comment
Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: There's several in such a bleak setting with superpower-granting viruses spilling here and there. Lawrence Grey is a paedophile who gains incredible powers and ends up indirectly allowing the Homeland to exist by keeping Guilder alive. He was also mercilessly abused by a variety of father figures after his real father killed himself. Grey found the body. He's also kept a prisoner for almost 100 years, immobile and frequently humiliated. Horace Guilder, the Big Bad of The Twelve, had an emotionally abusive father and was loved by nobody, while slowly dying of Lou Gehrig's Disease. Giles Babcock, the Viral who kills millions was horribly abused by his mother and sentenced to death despite clearly being too insane to be deemed responsible for his own actions.

 The Passage / int_99db72ee
comment
Immune to Bullets: Played with. The Master Virals are very heavily protected by their skin, with an RPG being a reasonable weapon including one that apparently hits and hurts but does not kill Babcock and them being far too fast to hit with an RPG most of the time. Lesser virals have acquired this reputation after a century, but it's partially a legend from a lack of firearms and that the army failed. Sharp shooting the same weak spots you'd aim a crossbow proves effective, as do heavy machine guns.

Our Vampires Are Different: They have a mental link with each other and with the Twelve. Each of the Twelve may control a large portion of the vampires they created - Babcock controlled the Many and when he died, Amy helped them to die too. They are very tough due to the virus changing their skin into a "protein-based exoskeleton" that is stronger than Kevlar.

Lawrence Grey endured a series of sexually abusive stepfathers and 'uncles'. Tifty Lamont was beaten by his drunken father to the point where bones were broken. Horace Guilder's father was emotionally distant and unloving.

It Can Think: The virus does not in fact render its subjects catatonic, mindless animals as is believed at Project NOAH. They're telepathic and capable of large scale organization, and can directly communicate with humans via visions and dreams. Some virals can suppress their kill drive enough for their base personality to come through. Unfortunately, Zero and 11 of the 12 adult test subjects are sociopaths and/or criminally insane and have a Hive Mind with their infectees. This is understood much too late as heavily defended perimeters fall to organized virals.

Hoist by His Own Petard: A fascistic US government "recruits" largely insane, always violent murderers as "no one will miss them" test subjects for a biological terror weapon, licensing the murder of anyone inconvenient in the process. However these disposable test subjects are being given a "virus" that causes superhuman transformation and imparts an extreme bloodlust, and this stacks on remnants of those personalities. This goes badly.

Decoy Protagonist: The book has numerous POV characters, but the ones who gain initial focus are Brad Wolgast and Lacey the nun in The Passage, and Lawrence Grey and Lila in The Twelve. All of them are major supporting characters, but Peter Jaxon and Amy are the ones who the story revolve around and have the most significant page-time. Interestingly, in both books, Peter is the last character to be introduced, but arguably the main protagonist.

Nonhumans Lack Attributes: Part of the transformation to Viral causes the genitals to...'smooth out' or otherwise become useless. This even happens to Guilder and the Red Eyes.

Dwindling Party
 The Passage / int_ed68bcc9
comment
The Watch defends the First Colony from vampires and, while it is a Dwindling Party, the minor members are almost all skilled and developed characters who kill vampires with and without the main cast's help, help prevent Torches and Pitchforks mobs, and only keep dying because of the dissent Babcock is sowing within the community with his psychic powers.

0% Approval Rating: Despite the propaganda spread throughout the Homeland, nobody likes 'Director' Horace Guilder but most are too scared and beaten down to do anything about it. Even his own allies gradually begin to fear and dislike him.

Well-Intentioned Extremist: Many of the characters involved with Project Noah, such as Lear and Sykes. Lear is still grieving for his dead wife and wants to stop death and Sykes wants to improve the military to protect his country. They both gradually realize they're being used by the higher-ups for more sinister purposes and there won't be a happy ending.
