Both "The Last of Us" and "The Girl With All Gifts" of a young girl with a key genetic fate. In "The Last of Us", it's Eli (Ashley Nsonson in the Games, White Ramsey in the show), which is naturally immune to fungus infection. In Kerry's story, the title "Girl with all the gifts" is Melanie (played in the film by Senia Nanua). Melanie is infected, but retains higher brain functions and human personality, unlike the usual "logs". Both Melanie and Eli are directed by scientists trying to make a vaccine.

"The girl with all the gifts" ends very differently from "the last of us". Melanie is not immune to a mutation, but because it is a second -generation hungry. Infected parents convey the fungus to their children, but their children are born with some natural immunity. They are not completely human, but they are not foolish and wild as people who were infected later in life. Since there is no way to make a vaccine, the only option is to allow the plague to take place throughout the whole, until it is infected, and then to build a new civilization from there.

The story ends with Melanie releasing infectious spores around the world. The title "The Girl With All Gifts" refers to the Greek myth for Pandora (alluding to the book and film). Pandora was the first human woman to open a box full of evil that infected humanity. This end is, of course, Melanie opened the Pandora box, releasing a different type of infection of mankind. In the last scene, Melanie and her teacher Mrs. Justistineo (Gemma Arterton) work together to teach infected children how to be human. That's hope, but the one that interrupts all the chances of returning the world to the apocalypse.

In addition to his prose novels, Kerry is a fruitful comic writer. The theme of his story of human evolution and the new generation of mutants who inherit the Earth takes a new light when you know that he once wrote underestimated running of "X-Men".

The latest (and great) book by Kerry, "Once was Willem", is another kind of zombie story. In England in the 12th century, a poor village family makes a wizard to return their dead son Willem to life. But as a result of the rheve is just an unusual facsimile and a clear inhumane in appearance - hence its adopted name, Once was Willem. In essence, medieval, folk-Horor "Frankenstein", "Once Willem" is an essential reading for all Kerry fans, just like the "girl with all the gifts" will excite all lovers of "the last of us".

The "girl with all the gifts" moves on tubes.
