The Passage by Justin Cronin
Hardcover
Paperback
An epic and gripping tale of catastrophe and survival, The Passage is the story of Amy—abandoned by her mother at the age of six, pursued and then imprisoned by the shadowy figures behind a government experiment of apocalyptic proportions. But Special Agent Brad Wolgast, the lawman sent to track her down, is disarmed by the curiously quiet girl—and risks everything to save her. As the experiment goes nightmarishly wrong, Wolgast secures her escape—but he can’t stop society’s collapse. And as Amy walks alone, across miles and decades, into a future dark with violence and despair, she is filled with the mysterious and terrifying knowledge that only she has the power to save the ruined world.
Even though I never think I'll read it I've always loved the Hardcover of The Passage, it's beautiful and kind of creepy at the same time. And they go and make the paperback orange? I really hope that has some kind of significance in the book because use as a design element alone it is really not fun to look at.

what a shocking transition from the cool of the hardcover to the fire and brimstone of the paperback.
