Light, a Gone Novel / Michael Grant / 413 pages

"Endgame.  That word had quickly become part of conversation in the FAYZ.  [Sam] had tried to quash it.  Endilio had tried to quash it.  Down in Perdido Beach, Caine had tried to quash it.  It wasn't good for people to start thinking things were coming to and end."  This sixth and final book in the Gone Series is an absolute must read, especially if you've read the other five.  Stephen King says "This is great fiction...exciting, high tension stories told in a driving, torrential narrative that never lets up.  There are monsters, there are kids with mad-crazy superpowers, there's the mystery of where all the adults went."  232 kids between the age of one month and fourteen years had been confined within the FAYZ (Fall Out Youth Zone).  196 eventually emerged.  What happened to the rest...and to the survivors...is...horrifically unbelievable!!
