Description
It s been one year since all the adults disappeared. Gone.
Despite the hunger and the lies, even despite the plague, the kids of Perdido Beach are determined to survive. Creeping into the tenuous new world they ve built, though, is perhaps the worst incarnation yet of the enemy known as the Darkness: fear.
Within the FAYZ, life breaks down while the Darkness takes over, literally—turning the dome-world of the FAYZ entirely black. In darkness, the worst fears of all emerge, and the cruelest of intentions are carried out. But even in their darkest moments, the inhabitants of the FAYZ maintain a will to survive and a desire to take care of the others in their ravaged band that endures, no matter what the cost.
Fear, Michael Grant s fifth book in the bestselling dystopian Gone series, will thrill readers . . . even as it terrifies them.
About the Author
Michael Grant was born in Los Angeles but that s not important because he was soon out of there. His father was a military man, frequently transferred, so Michael was the "new kid" in school every year but one. He left school early and embraced the rootless lifestyle as his own. He s lived in more flats and houses than he can recall, all across the US and in France and Italy as well. He s back in California as of this writing but with no plans to stay put.
Michael met his wife, Katherine (K.A.) Applegate, 37 years ago, in Austin, Texas. He saw her through her apartment window and immediately knocked on her door. They ve been together since that first meeting.
Michael Grant did not set out to be a writer. He s worked as a stock clerk, a house painter, an apartment manager, busboy, waiter, restaurant manager, janitor, editorial cartoonist, political media consultant, documentary producer, and no doubt some other jobs he s managed to forget. After ten years working odd jobs together, Katherine informed Michael that it was time for them both to grow up, get careers, possibly have children. Once he was revived, Michael agreed.
Katherine and Michael began writing in 1989, often as a team, and wrote 150 books, including the ANIMORPHS series.
They have two disobedient children, Jake, 19, and Julia, 16, a yappy Chihuahua-ish dog (Katherine s), a hateful cat named Lightning (Katherine s) and an okay cat named Scooter.
