Charlie Higson’s The Fallen is the fifth book in The Enemy series, a thrilling and action-packed post-apocalyptic saga where children battle to survive in a world overrun by flesh-eating, disease-ridden adults. As London remains a dangerous wasteland, Maxie, Blue, and the other kids continue their desperate struggle. Meanwhile, Sam and Ed have been separated from their group and must make their way back across the city, facing unimaginable horrors along the way.
As the survivors seek safety, they encounter new allies and deadly enemies, forcing them to question who they can trust. But the biggest threat may not be the infected adults—it might be the darkness growing within themselves. With non-stop action, shocking twists, and heart-pounding suspense, The Fallen is a must-read for fans of dystopian thrillers like The Maze Runner and The Walking Dead.
The Fallen by Charlie Higson was a bestseller, as were other books in The Enemy series. The series as a whole was very popular among young adult readers, especially fans of dystopian and zombie survival stories. While it may not have reached the same level of mainstream fame as The Hunger Games or The Maze Runner, it was widely read and well-received, particularly in the UK.
