The first in New York Times bestselling author Michael Grant's breathtaking dystopian sci-fi saga, Gone is a page-turning thriller that invokes the classic The Lord of the Flies along with the horror of Stephen King.


In the blink of an eye, everyone disappears. Gone. Except for the young. There are teens, but not one single adult. Just as suddenly, there are no phones, no internet, no television. No way to get help. And no way to figure out what's happened.


Hunger threatens. Bullies rule. A sinister creature lurks. Animals are mutating. And the teens themselves are changing, developing new talents?unimaginable, dangerous, deadly powers?that grow stronger by the day.


It's a terrifying new world. Sides are being chosen, a fight is shaping up. Townies against rich kids. Bullies against the weak. Powerful against powerless. And time is running out: on your birthday, you disappear just like everyone else. . . .


?A potent mix of action and thoughtfulness?centered around good and evil, courage and cowardice?renders this a tour de force that will leave readers dazed, disturbed, and utterly breathless.? ?ALA Booklist (starred review)

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.

What a gripping wonderful series by Michael Grant, who was the co creator behind the smash hit books and series Animorphs. Grant tackles sci fi again, and here is a book perfect for the young adult or teenage fan base. Interesting as well as it veers, slowly away from the vampire themed books that have flooded the market. If your looking for a new series, to tackle with great characters, an interesting sci fi theme then this is the series for you.
