The Boy On The Bridge by M. R. Carey

Set in a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by a fungal infection that turns humans into "Hungries," the story follows a group of scientists and soldiers aboard the armored vehicle, the Rosalind Franklin, as they venture into the dangerous wilderness to find a cure. Among them is Stephen Greaves, a brilliant but socially awkward teenager, whose unique perspective and discoveries could hold the key to humanity's survival. As tensions rise within the group and external threats loom, the narrative explores themes of survival, sacrifice, and the blurred lines between humanity and monstrosity.
