Welcome back to the FAYZ! This is Book 5 in the GONE series that Stephen King calls a “driving, torrential narrative.”

Night is falling in the FAYZ. Permanently. The gaiaphage has blotted out the sun and the barrier that surrounds the town of Perdido Beach is turning black. It’s Sam’s worst nightmare. With Astrid still missing and Edilio and Lana struggling to maintain order, Sam and his followers need all the courage they can get. As their world descends into darkness, only real heroes will survive.

The GONE series is Lord of the Flies for the 21st century. In turns breathtaking, harrowing, and utterly terrifying. Its complex characters and moral dilemmas will delight fans of The Hunger Games, Divergent and The Maze Runner. This is dystopian fiction at its best.

Have you read all 6 titles in the New York Times bestselling saga: Gone, Hunger, Lies, Plague, Fear, and Light?

“I am now free to leave the FAYZ, but my time there was well spent.” —Stephen King

About the Author

---

Michael Grant, author of the Gone series, the Messenger of Fear series, the Magnificent Twelve series, and the Front Lines trilogy, has spent much of his life on the move. Raised in a military family, he attended ten schools in five states, as well as three schools in France. Even as an adult he kept moving, and in fact he became a writer in part because it was one of the few jobs that wouldn’t tie him down. His fondest dream is to spend a year circumnavigating the globe and visiting every continent. Yes, even Antarctica. He lives in California with his wife, Katherine Applegate, with whom he cowrote the wildly popular Animorphs series. You can visit him online at www.themichaelgrant.com and follow him on Twitter @MichaelGrantBks.

Praise For…

Praise for GONE: “These are exciting, high-tension stories...There are monsters, there are kids with mad-crazy superpowers, there’s the mystery of where all the adults went. Most of all, there are children I can believe in and root for.”—Stephen King - ALA Booklist
Praise for HUNGER: “Readers will be unable to avoid involuntarily gasping, shuddering, or flinching while reading this suspense-filled story.”—VOYA (starred review) “Like GONE, this novel is not for the faint of heart or weak of stomach. Nonstop action.”— - School Library Journal
Praise for PLAGUE “The very definition of a page-turner.”—ALA Booklist “The characters’ interior struggles are almost as vivid as the action. Fans will be satisfied—for now.” - Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) (starred review)
PRAISE FOR FEAR: “Grant’s masterstroke continues to be how his huge cast of dangerously talented mutants remains as haunted and fallible as anyone else.” - ALA Booklist
Praise for GONE: “A tour de force that will leave readers dazed, disturbed, and utterly breathless.” - ALA Booklist
