Description
The tension-filled sequel to The Strain, from the world-famous director whose films include Pan's Labyrinth and Hellboy. Ephraim Goodweather, director of the New York office of the Centers for Disease control, is one of the few humans who understands what is really happening. Vampires have arrived in New York City, and their condition is contagious. If they cannot be contained, the entire world is at risk of infection. As Eph becomes consumed with the battle against the total corruption of humanity, his ex-wife, Kelly, now a vampire herself, is ever-more determined to claim their son, Zack. As the Biblical origins of the Ancient ones are gradually revealed, Eph learns that there is a greater, more terrible plan in store for the human race -- worse even than annihilation!

This was a great idea but with poor execution. Del Toro should stick to making movies. None of the major characters have an interesting backstory, in fact characterization is weak all the way through. They are effectively caricatures. If you want a real scary novel about vampires + the end of the world read Justin Cronin's The Passage. Now THAT is readable. All in all this trilogy is the waste of a good premise.
