Humans have been displaced at the top of the food chain, and now understand -- to their outright horror -- what it is to be not the consumer, but the consumed. 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.

Even with the small snippets of hope dealt out through this book, the demise of hero's and the disappearance of key players end this sequel on a low, low note. I urge everyone to read this series! Even if you have started to watch the TV...
This book is a continuation of the story started in The Strain. While I think it is very much a middle book, it's not a terribly boring or tedious middle book and kept me very engaged through the entire novel. Things are looking terrible for humanity as a Master vampire is busy taking over the US ...
Read this awhile back. Liked the premise, but it didn't quite hit all the marks. I enjoyed it overall. Would recommend for those who are a fan of vampire tales.
So now I need to finish this trilogy, quickly. Glad I waited until they'd published all three.Also, this series would make a good movie. Has a lot of the elements of Blade 2 - which Guillermo was the director of - and I think would be quite a nail biter.
