The Sacrifice

The Sacrifice by Charlie Higson                   484 pages


This is the fourth book in the Enemy series, better read in order, but not impossible to figure out otherwise.  In this story Sam and the Kid have just arrived at the Tower of London but are eager to move on to try to find Sam’s sister, who they think is at Buckingham Palace.  Their guide at the Tower, Ed, doesn’t want to let them leave right away.  A scouting group set out recently from the Tower, going towards the Palace and Ed wants them to wait until the group returns so they have a better idea what they’re up against.  When another girl, Tish, shows up, she convinces them to leave with her.  They end up at St. Paul’s however, where the leader, Matt, is convinced that they are the Lamb and the Goat, and their situation could be more perilous than outside.  Outside, the zombie-like grown-ups are changing.  They seem to be getting smarter, able to organize and use weapons.  Shadowman has been following one group for days trying to figure out what’s going on with them.  Clearly not the final book in the series, this is an exciting and creepy continuation of the story.  Teens who like zombie stories will enjoy this series.
