Welcome back to the FAYZ! This is Book 2 in the series that Stephen
King calls a 'driving, torrential narrative'. An uneasy calm has
settled over Perdido Beach. But soon, fear explodes into
desperation as food supplies dwindle and starvation sets in. More
and more kids are developing strange powers and, just as
frighteningly, so are the animals in the FAYZ: talking coyotes,
swimming bats and deadly worms with razor-sharp teeth are just the
beginning. For Sam Temple the strain of leadership is beginning to
show and he's got more than just dwindling rations and in-fighting
to worry about - Caine is back with the psychotic whiphand, Drake,
by his side. And deep in the ground, the biggest danger of all is
getting hungry . . . 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 got all 6 titles in the New
York Times bestselling saga?: Gone Hunger Lies Plague Fear Light 'I
am now free to leave the FAYZ, but my time there was well spent'
Stephen King
A teenage girl stumbles out of an alley in Ottawa, concussed, with
no memory of her life. Fleeing sword-wielding operatives with
inexplicable mental abilities, she soon learns that her name is
Zoe, and that she not only possesses the same abilities, but is
extraordinarily skilled in martial arts. As she scours Toronto for
clues about her identity, she finds others like her, and is given
refuge at the Academy, an international school for Telepaths. As
fragments of her childhood return, she begins to suspect that she
may not like who she once was-that she may be part of a shadowy
organization more powerful than anyone suspects, and that she will
soon be swept up in events that are thousands of years in the
making.
