The Enemy is a really good book about this virus that has affected all people the age of 18 and older. This virus turned them into flesh eating killers that were attacking children. At the beginning of the story the kids end up losing little Sam to the grown-ups. Which is the name that they came up with for the virus infected people. Little Sam was called little because of how small he was, it had nothing to do with his age. These group of boys who are practically a gang are the leaders of the group. What the grown-ups do is they capture the kids and take them to their hideouts and eat them. The leader of the gang is Arran he was not the best fighter of the group that was not why he was captain it was because when things got bad he was the only brave one to make the tough calls. Who was the best fighter? It was Archilleus whose body was built with muscle and skillful fighting. Then you had soul mates before the disaster Freak and Deke. They had been taken on the streets armed with only spray cans putting their tag "Freaky-Deaky." They were inseparable friends who would laugh and never leave each other's sides. Freak's real name was David and he was always curious. while Deke was bigger then Freak and he was really good looking and would have gotten all the girls in school. The Last in the group was Ollie he was the brains of the group yet small he always knew the best strategies, Ollie always knew the best thing to do. Arran would often ask Ollie for advice but no one ever saw it as a weakness, Arran was always going to be the leader. The five were the unstoppable power and had been working together since the disaster. The five of them had weapons that were custom to their abilities and they would never leave without them. The leader Arran carried around a knife in his belt and carried a pickax handle as a club. Then Archilleus had a spear point that he had made himself from metal off of a building side. Freak had an ax which he had stolen from a shop and then Deke had a sledgehammer which had been stolen too. Ollie sling shot with metal bullets he had stolen from an armory store, it was the latest version. They all went out on a search party for food and while they were on their way they ran into this pack of dogs. They ended up taking one down and the other dogs left. They were all infected and even so the boys ended up taking it tying it up to bring back to the refuge for food. They had to do and eat whatever they could to survive even if it was a dog. After that they did not head back they went on to find more food. During their search for more food they end up getting in a huge battle with the grown-ups. Arran and Ollie are in the front while Archilleus is in the back and then Freak and Deke are on opposite sides. Though during the battle they were getting separated and Freak got trapped. I don't want to spoil too much so I won't say what happens after this but what I can say is that they fought with all they could. I think that this book is very interesting for people who like the end of the world scenarios with lots of adventure. This book also has miseries for example; where did little Sam go? The book holds lots of events and twists that make you not want to put it down. Charlie Higson is an outstanding author and I can't wait to read the rest of the series.
