A New Book for Fans of The Girl with all the Gifts
Fans of The Girl with all the Gifts will be pleased to hear news that the world that Melanie lived in is set to be expanded with author M.R Carey announcing on his FB page that a second book is in the pipeline.
Rather than being a sequel to TGWATG this second novel is going to be a prequel set around ten years prior to the events that occur in the bestselling Zombie apocalypse novel.
The ten year timescale means that the book will still be set after the outbreak has occurred and the world’s population has been decimated but will be a stand alone novel with an entirely different set of characters. Readers need not worry though as the book will still feel familiar as we are reintroduced to the world that Melanie lived in.
In this video shared on his FB page Carey also thanked his loyal readers and those who are looking forward to the screen adaptation of The Girl with All the Gifts.
Due to be released in May 2017 the second book is titled The Boy on the Bridge and is available for pre-order.
