This is on my TBR list. The publisher calls this "a groundbreaking thriller, emotionally charged and gripping from beginning to end."

From the publisher: "From the author of USA Today bestseller The Girl With All the Gifts, a terrifying new novel set in the same post-apocalyptic world. Once upon a time, in a land blighted by terror, there was a very clever boy. The people thought the boy could save them, so they opened their gates and sent him out into the world. To where the monsters lived."
