Booklist - 03/15/2013 We’ve come a long way from Gone (2008). The emaciated children still plod through their days locked beneath the dome. All the food is nearly gone, and they have little energy to repel the unknown Darkness that besets them. The gaiaphage inhabiting Diana’s unborn baby growing at an alarming rate is always hungry, and it is determined to destroy everyone in the FAYZ, especially those who have tried to resist. Making matters worse, the veil that shrouded the dome has lifted—parents and gawking TV reporters can now watch the carnage as it transpires over the last 88 hours and 39 minutes of life (and death). Will someone or something be strong enough to obliterate the gaiaphage? And, if anyone lives, what will happen to them on the outside? In four separate “Aftermath” chapters, Grant sorts out who’s left and what kind of future awaits them. Readers dying for this series ender will be rewarded by Grant’s characteristic nonstop action. He keeps readers where he’s always had them—on the edge of their seats—until the very end. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: The Gone books have been one of the most dependable YA series in recent history. Advertising and attention will spike—probably significantly—for this final battle. - Copyright 2013 Booklist.
