Description

In 1945, a devastating alternative end to World War II unfolded in Britain. As Hitler's final act of vengeance, he unleashed the Blood Death, a deadly disease that targeted those with certain blood groups. Those who died at once were fortunate; others suffered for years. For James Herbert, one of the survivors with a safe blood group, life became a constant struggle to evade the fascist Blackshirts seeking his blood to save their dying leader.

After three years of living alone, avoiding persecution, Herbert's life took an unexpected turn when he met others like him. Their stories and struggles intertwined, adding complexity to his own experience. This gripping tale explores the horrors of an alternative history, where survival is a daily fight for those with a rare gift.

First published in 2017, this reissue of James Herbert's novel offers a chilling look at what could have been if the course of history had taken a darker turn.
