Part of Gone, book 7
First published 2017
The FAYZ is gone, but its horrors have spread across the globe. Four years have passed since the meteorite struck Perdido Beach and trapped teenagers inside an invisible dome where they developed supernatural abilities and watched animals transform into deadly creatures. Now meteorites are falling everywhere, carrying an even more dangerous alien virus. This time there are no barriers to contain the outbreak. Humans begin mutating into monsters as the infection spreads without limits. Some teenagers discover they possess heroic powers, but others lose control completely as the virus corrupts them. The survivors from Perdido Beach understand what's coming better than anyone. They've seen how power changes people and how quickly civilization can collapse. As mutations accelerate and the infected become increasingly monstrous, the world faces a battle that will determine whether humanity survives. The teens who once fought for survival in the FAYZ now confront their worst fear: watching history repeat itself on a global scale.
