When all his friends and family get affected by the vampirism plague, he lives alone. Before the epidemic hit, Robert, an ordinary American, was married and living in a middle-class suburb. Although not entirely, he believes he is unaffected by the plague because he was beaten by a vampire bat some years earlier. He is thirty-six and the only existing human being after a vampire epidemic in Los Angeles, California, in 1975. Robert Neville is the central character of this book.
