About this listen
The tension-filled sequel to The Strain, from the world-famous director whose films include Pan’s Labyrinthe and Hellboy. Now a popular Amazon TV show.
Humans have been displaced at the top of the food chain, and now understand – to their outright horror – what it is to be not the consumer, but the consumed.
Ephraim Goodweather, director of the New York office of the Centers for Disease control, is one of the few humans who understands what is really happening. Vampires have arrived in New York City, and their condition is contagious. If they cannot be contained, the entire world is at risk of infection.
As Eph becomes consumed with the battle against the total corruption of humanity, his ex-wife, Kelly, now a vampire herself, is ever-more determined to claim their son, Zack.
As the Biblical origins of the Ancient ones are gradually revealed, Eph learns that there is a greater, more terrible plan in store for the human race – worse even than annihilation…

Critic reviews
‘The climax, all fire and brimstone, nicely sets up the third and final volume’ Financial Times
‘Enough blood-curdling action to set up a gory finale’ News of the World
‘Relentlessly paves the way for what promises to be an epic third book’ Kirkus
‘Fast-paced, action-packed, and even better than the first volume. Highly recommended for thriller and horror fans’ Library Journal
‘The authors ratchet up the tension as events alter and the stakes become higher’ SFF World
Praise for THE STRAIN:
‘The first in a trilogy that soars with spellbinding intrigue. Truly, an unforgettable tale you can’t put down once you read the first page. I can’t wait until the next one.’ Clive Cussler
‘Blood and apocalypse mix in a terrifying story that feels like it was ripped from today's headlines. Vividly wrought and relentlessly paced, THE STRAIN haunts as much as it terrifies. I cannot wait to see where Del Toro and Hogan take us next.’ James Rollins
‘A rattling piece of escapism’ The Times
‘Diverting and never less than expertly crafted’ Guardian
‘A pacy thriller with a great eye for detail and plenty of gloriously icky moments’ SFX

Taking the Strain
The second book in the trilogy continues in a pacy manner. however, as sometimes with second books, this one lacks a little something. The Strain left me wanting more, immediately. After the fall I did not feel that sense of need. I think The Fall has lost some of the depth of The Strain nevertheless, worth a listen.

As good as book 1
This book picks up where book one ends so the series needs to be read in order. I really enjoyed it and I found the narration spot on.

A bit silly
The second book of the strain trilogy is a bit silly but as long as you don't take it seriously it is good fun. I will listen to the third when it comes out.

Good follow up to the strain but it would have been great if they had kept Ron Perlman as the narrator
A pretty solid book and I enjoyed it but the narrators voice stopped me from really getting immersed in the story. The guys voice is quite tinny sounding, almost like he’s talking into an empty can and I found it harsh at times almost making me wince.
Wish they’d kept Ron Perlman onboard, his reading of the first book really got me hooked to the story, his voice was much clearer, resonated well and didn’t make me feel like I was being smacked in the ear with an ice pick.
So in short... i really liked the story and I’d recommend it to anyone who enjoyed the first book, the guys voice takes some getting used to but the great writing makes it worth putting up with.

Brilliant
What made the experience of listening to The Fall the most enjoyable?
Watched the TV show and thought about buying the book but having concentration levels due to illness at the moment so got this instead, very high quality reproduction and far better than the TV series, Just have to stop falling asleep otherwise you loose your place, its the morphine that does that not the quality of the story!
