2. The Alpha

A planetwide virus. The collapse of civilization. A class of young Canadians caught on a field trip in the ruins of Louisiana, fighting desperately to stay together, and stay alive. They’ve managed to escape the quarantine zone, but that just means they’re in terra incognita. The infection has turned one of them into a misshapen monster: a gentle giant nevertheless capable of great violence, that various warring factions of humans are out to kill or capture. In this second volume, Jérôme Hamon and David Tako deepen their pulse-pounding and profoundly humane portrait of a fearsome post-viral landscape.
