Synopsis

Welcome back to the FAYZ! This is Book 6 in the GONE series that Stephen King calls a “driving, torrential narrative.”

All eyes are on Perdido Beach. The barrier wall is now as clear as glass and life in the FAYZ is visible for the entire outside world to see. Life inside the dome remains a constant battle and the Darkness, away from watchful eyes, grows and grows… The society that Sam and Astrid have struggled so hard to build is about to be shattered for good. It’s the end of the FAYZ. Who will survive to see the light of day? This is the nail-biting finale to the GONE saga.

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 this title

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.

From the Back Cover

It's been over a year since all the adults disappeared.

Gone.

countless battles have been fought by the kids of the FAYZ: battles against hunger and lies and plague and fear, and of good against evil. But now their worst enemy, the Gaiaphage, has been reborn as Diana's malicious mutant daughter, Gaia. Gaia is endlessly hungry for destruction, and she yearns to conquer her nemesis, Little Pete, then bend the entire world to her warped will. As humanity in the fayz is tested—perhaps for the last time—long-standing enemies become allies, secrets are revealed, and unexpected sacrifices are made. Will attempts to save themselves and one another matter in the end, or will the kids of Perdido Beach perish in this final power struggle?

Light, the sixth and final book in the New York Times bestselling Gone series by Michael Grant, creates a masterful, arresting conclusion to this epic saga.
