A virus that locks those infected into a permanent state of killing rage is accidentally released from a British research facility. 28 days later, a motorcycle messenger awakes from a coma and finds himself among a small group of survivors in London, trapped in a desperate struggle to protect themselves from the infected. As they attempt to salvage a future from the apocalypse, they find that their most deadly enemy may not be the virus, but other survivors.

Alex Garland was born in London in 1970. He is the author of the bestselling novels The Beach, The Tesseract and The Coma.
