The Enemy Series, Books 1-3

They'll chase you. They'll rip you open. They'll feed on you . . .

The Enemy (Book 1)

When the sickness came, every parent, police officer, politician - every adult - fell ill. The lucky ones died. The others are crazed, confused and hungry.

Only children under fourteen remain, and they're fighting to survive.

A gang of children begin their quest across London, where all through the city - down alleyways, in deserted houses, underground - the grown-ups lie in wait.

The Dead (Book 2)

Jack and Ed are best friends, but their battle to stay alive tests their friendship to the limit as they go on the run with a mismatched group of other kids. And one adult. Greg, a butcher, who claims he's immune to the disease.

As a fresh disaster threatens to overwhelm London, they realize they won't all survive...

The Fear (Book 3)

DogNut and the rest of his crew want to find their lost friends, and set off on a deadly mission from the Tower of London to Buckingham Palace and beyond, as the sickos lie in wait. But who are their friends and who is the enemy in this changed world?

Reviews

Stylish writing and vigorous invention

—— Publishers Weekly

What a marvellous writer Joan Aiken is!

—— Leon Garfield

Joan Aiken is a marvel

—— Philip Pullman , The Guardian

Brilliant as ever

—— Spectator

All the books in the series have been excellent, but in The Creeping Shadow, Stroud manages to pile mystery on top of suspense, leaving me with the feeling that a year is far, far, too long to wait for the concluding part of a series that instantly shot to the very top of my reading pile. This is young adult writing of the very highest quality.

—— Linda Wilson , Crime Review

If you’re in the market to have your pants scared off this Halloween, this atmospheric tale, finely balanced between horror and humour, will definitely do the trick . . . There are few writers whose work I look forward to more.

—— Imogen Russell Williams , Middle Grade Strikes Back

Publication of a new Lockwood and Co. adventure must qualify as one of the literary events of the year. Jonathan Stroud not only writes like a dream, he creates some of the most inventive, most exciting storylines around.

—— Andrea Reece , LoveReading

I enjoyed it so much, I hope there will be yet another book soon to follow in this fabulously told series.

—— Amazed Earthling, with Guardian Children's Books

I love this series so much, the characters are funny . . . the ghosts are awesome.

—— An Awful Lot of Reading
