Light - (Gone) by Michael Grant (Paperback)

Book 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.

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.
