Penguin Charlie Higson The Enemy Series 7 Books Collection Set

Charlie Higson’s The Enemy series is a seven-book zombie horror collection for teens, set in a London changed by a deadly sickness. Everyone over the age of fourteen has fallen to the disease; the lucky ones died, while others survive as crazed, hungry predators. With the adults gone, the children left behind must keep themselves alive in a city where nowhere feels safe.

Across the series, different groups of young survivors face shifting dangers, uneasy alliances and journeys through familiar landmarks as they search for friends, supplies and answers. From the Tower of London to the Natural History Museum and beyond, the threat of the “sickos” is constant, and each instalment pushes the struggle for survival towards a final confrontation.

Synopses

The Enemy

A deadly virus strikes everyone over fourteen, leaving only children to fend for themselves. As the adults become crazed, confused and hungry, the remaining kids fight to survive.

The Dead

With death on the streets and danger everywhere, multiple groups of children try to escape ferocious adults who prey on them. Jack and Ed go on the run with a mismatched group, alongside an adult, Greg, who claims he is immune, as fresh disaster threatens London.

The Fear

The sickness has taken parents, siblings and friends, and children across London are hunted by bloodthirsty grown-ups. Dog Nut and his crew set out to find lost friends on a mission from the Tower of London to Buckingham Palace and beyond, questioning who they can trust.

The Sacrifice

Small Sam and his unlikely ally, The Kid, have survived and are safe with Ed and his friends at the Tower of London. Desperate to find his sister, Sam crosses the forbidden zone, where something even more terrifying awaits.

The Fallen

The disease has rotted adults’ minds and bodies, and they now stalk the streets hunting human flesh. The Holloway crew reach the Natural History Museum, where the kids search for a cure and need medical supplies, forcing a journey along unknown roads.

The Hunted

The sickness has twisted minds and ravaged bodies, leaving the infected roaming, crazed and hungry. Promises that the countryside would be safer prove wrong.

The End

The final instalment brings the series to its conclusion as sickos swarm London and gather in the city centre. The survivors face one last battle, working together on a plan to end the grown-ups’ reign of terror before it is too late.
