| Summary: | "Five years after the event that drove most of the global population to madness, the world is overrun with the "fevered"-once-human, zombielike creatures drawn indiscriminately to violence and murder. In a campaign to return the country to normalcy, the massive corporation known as Terradyne Industries has merged with the U.S. government in a partnership of dubious motives, quarantining major American cities behind towering walls and corralling the afflicted there with the hope, they say, of developing a vaccine. In Portland, where it all began, guilt-ridden detective John Bonner scours the city's darkest corners for clues to humanity's redemption. In New England, Katherine Moriarty mourns the devastating losses of her husband and son while in hiding from Terradyne. And across the ocean in France, a sixteen-year-old girl named Naomi Laurent discovers she has a disturbing and powerful gift - which may just be the key to the world's salvation. As the lives of these characters inevitably intertwine across a ravaged American landscape, this chilling sequel to Fever House is a heart-stopping, breakneck saga of survival. Equal parts gruesome and beautiful, The Devil by Name is united by characters who want more than just to live another day. Everything starts and ends in the fever house"-- |
