    About this audiobook

    It's been one year since all the adults disappeared. Gone.

    Despite the hunger, despite the lies, even despite the plague, the kids of Perdido Beach are determined to survive. Creeping into the tenuous new world they've built, though, is the worst incarnation yet of the enemy known as the Darkness: fear.

    Within the FAYZ, life breaks down while the Darkness takes over-turning the dome-world of the FAYZ entirely black. A will to survive and a desire to take care of those they love endure in this ravaged band, even in the bleakest moments. But in darkness, the worst fears of all emerge, and the cruelest of intentions are carried out. After so many months, is all about to be lost in the FAYZ?

    Michael Grant

    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.

      Come the Renaissance

      May 20, 2020

      I’VE escaped from the Abbey. Am I skipping up the drive back to the house, swinging my guitar case and trilling I Have Confidence in Me? Not so much. Bit more Fidelio, if I’m honest: creeping, wan, unshaven, shielding my eyes from the unfamiliar sun.

      2.5 stars. I was going to give this one a much higher rating. But.

      I know body horror is one of the bread and butters of this series, but Gaia and everything leading up to her "birth" was genuinely upsetting to me in a way that made me want to stop reading. I hate mystical pregnancies. I hate female bodies being violated and victimized in this way. It's this particular objectification of the female body as a potential incubator of evil beyond the mother's control or as punishment for her sins (and an argument could be made for both being in play here) that has no place in a series with such good female characters, which has continually impressed me with the richness and breadth of its girls. And the problem narratively is that it shifts the horror from being something that illuminates the humanity of the characters to a plot device that strips them of it entirely, in Diana's case, or that they react to without much of themselves invested in it in everyone else's. Which I guess is pretty ironic, considering what a problem the literal lack of light is in this book.

      There's probably a lot more I could say, but I'm just too disappointed.

      Volume 5 of the 'Gone' series finds more ways to torture the teenagers of the FAYZ, this time by turning out the lights as the series builds to its climax.

      My library did a great job (!) by keeping me waiting on this book for over a year. Which is quite strange, as they bought all the other books in this series almost immediately after publication. Anyway, it made that I had somewhat lost the connection to the story, as I read Fear almost two years after Plague.



      We're one year inside the FAYZ. Those lucky enough to survive this long, now get an entire new problem. Sunlight is fading, prepare for darkness/Darkness!



      Like I said, I had (for the first time) some trouble to get into the series again, but after 50 pages or so, that was no longer a problem. So much happens in these books, that it is almost impossible to stop reading. I really enjoyed this series and this book as well, although for the first time, I thought it might be stretched a little too far, become a little too far fetched. Besides, even though there is more than enough happening in this book, you can feel it is building up for the finale in book six, which I believe will be some massive battle...

      “....Fear wasn’t about what made sense. Fear was about possibilities. Not things that happened. Things that might.” [p. 455] I must've sucked in the whole world's supply of oxygen by gasping at that ending. I'm emotionally drained. Fear is the second-to-last book of the page turning series called 'Gone'. I honestly don't know how Grant is going to wrap everything up in the last book. I feel like there's still too much still left unsolved. In this book, we have previously important characters who fade out, or in Albert's case, run away, and smaller characters who step up. It was interesting watching characters like Caine and Astrid evolve personality-wise. I was indifferent and mildly irritated by Astrid throughout the series but her character development really amazed me. I feel like Fear plays the role of connecting the events that will lead to the concluding book, Light.I absolutely adore Michael Grant's sense of humor. It's so sarcastic and light.We also get a perspective from the outside. It was interesting seeing how the families and adults outside coped with the 'Perdido Beach Anomaly'. I'd talk about all the characters, but there are too many. Even though Michael Grant keeps adding more characters, it feels like each character, no matter their self-worth, has a unique role to play. As a conclusion, I'd like to state that this book had me hooked every step of the way. It jumbled my emotions and affected my sleep pattern, but it was totally worth it. So eager to go and read the final book!!
    • 5/5
      Wow!! What an ending. I think things cant possibly get worse for the kids in this series and then Michael Grant throws something else into the mix. The next book cant come quick enough!!
    • 5/5
      Fear is definitely the best Gone book yet. A tentative peace has emerged between Caine in Perdido Beach and Sam in Lake Tramonto. Tensions between freaks and normals has faded. Food is plentiful and starvation is no longer an issue. Drake hasn't been spotted in ages.Suddenly, however, the barrier begins to turn black. Food once more becomes an issue. Astrid is back, but so is Drake and this time he must be faced in the dark.Each installment in this series is better than the last, and Fear is no exception. Alternating between Pete's spirit, those trapped in the FAYZ and those trapped without, this book is by far the most fascinating and the most frightening. With the children facing their greatest threat yet, under observation of those outside, this book surely lives up to it's name. As with the previous books, I highly recommend you read this.

      Just when you were starting to wonder how things in the FAYZ could get any worse... Well, try Darkness. And Fear. I really feel for these poor kids, having to live this tortured, tormented existence without any real hope for their future and I am relieved, for there sakes, that this is the second to last instalment in the series. It's pretty damned bleak. But there are some lighter moments too, and even a few sweet moments as well. Real nail-biting, tense stuff that is well written and definitely intended for the more mature teen - probably ages 14 . Lots of death and destruction and an overall sense of helplessness paired off against hope. I'm keen to keep reading!
    • 4/5
      Great Series. Well developed characters that continue to grow and mature book after book. Real moments like a group of kids watching a spongebob skit or someone being heartbroken about being rejected are interspersed with violent conflict, supernatural terror and frighteningly difficult choices. I do not think it really falls under the YA category but otherwise, it is definitely worth your time.
    • 4/5
      In the fifth installment of the series, after four months of relative peace in the FAYZ chaos starts again. The barrier is changing and it seems like the FAYZ is about to go dark. There's a stash of missiles, the gaiaphage's hunger for Diana's baby, and the evil that is Drake and Penny. An action packed read full of gore and trials.
    • 3/5
      These books about a town cut off from the rest of the world and run by teenagers with strange mutant powers are definitely addictive, but perhaps the story is getting stretched out a little longer than strictly necessary. Also, this one pretty much crossed the line from science fiction into horror; you need a strong stomach to read some of the scenes. Still, I'm going to want to find out what happens to this particular ragtag band of teens fighting against the evil presence in their midst in the next book.

      As the young residents of Perdido Beach begin to better comprehend the truths of who they are and their relationships to one another, the Darkness finds a new way to be born, bringing their understanding of fear to a new level.
