Part of Gone, book 8
First published 2018
Dillon Poe once dreamed of making people laugh. Instead, they called him a loser and a freak. Now Dillon has discovered something far more powerful than comedy. His voice can control anyone who hears it. He can make them do whatever he wants. Dillon plans to use this power to kill thousands of people. The joke will finally be on everyone else. Six mutants stand between Dillon and his deadly plan. Dekka, Shade, Cruz, Malik, and Armo have faced dangerous enemies before. This time they have help from a new mutant whose abilities surpass anything they have seen. But Dillon's power grows stronger each day. He can turn allies into enemies with a few words. The battle will test whether these heroes can stop a villain who was once just a broken boy seeking acceptance.
