Justin Cronin, author of The Passage, The Twelve and The City of Mirrors, is touring New Zealand this month!

In 2010, Justin Cronin’s The Passage was a phenomenon. The unforgettable tale that critics and readers compared to the novels of Cormac McCarthy, Michael Crichton, Stephen King, and Margaret Atwood became a runaway bestseller and enchanted readers around the globe. It spent 3 months on the New York Times bestseller list. It sold in over 40 countries and became a bestseller in many of them, including New Zealand where it was an instant hit, debuting at the top of our bestseller chart before it had even been on sale for a full week.

This year Justin Cronin brought us the conclusion to his epic trilogy with The City of Mirrors (available now). For the last time, Amy—the Girl from Nowhere, who lived a thousand years—joined her friends and faced down the demons that threatened the last of humanity.

‘Justin Cronin’s Passage trilogy is remarkable for the unremitting drive of its narrative, for the breathtaking sweep of its imagined future, and for the clear lucidity of its language. The City of Mirrors is a thrilling finale to a trilogy that will stand as one of the great achievements in American fantasy fiction.’
—Stephen King
