About this eBook

The Enemy is among us . . . First the sickness rotted the adults' minds. Then their bodies. Now they stalk the streets of London, hunting human flesh. The Holloway crew are survivors. They've fought their way across the city and made it to the Natural History Museum alive--just barely. But their fight will never end while the Enemy lives, unless there's another way. . . . The kids at the museum are looking for a cure. All they need are medical supplies.To get them they must venture down unfamiliar streets, where it isn't only crazed, hungry sickos who lurk in the shadows. In this fifth terrifying entry in Charlie Higson's Enemy series, suddenly it's not so clear who--or what--the enemy is.

Ratings and reviews

Awesome detail and very well written for an early teens book. Amazing cast of varied characters (barely any cookie cutter types), branching storylines in each book that give a pretty bleak view about world events since the outbreak. (Warning: characters die like they're taking vacations in Auschwitz)

Amazing series I've ever read, I want them to go on an on, maybe when this series is over u could write a prequel of when the adults got sick...unless that's in the works already, if not u should Charlie. Highly recommend reading! Thank u I've enjoyed these!

Fast paced and beautiful. I love this book series. Probably the most engaging and interesting book I have ever read. I love how gut wrenching it is. He really fleshes out the characters. I can't wait for the next one. The ending had me going crazy!!!
