What this book is about
The fifth Gone novel plunges the FAYZ into literal darkness as the dome turns completely opaque, eliminating all sunlight and agriculture. Fear itself becomes the dominant power, and the darkness beneath the barrier feeds on the children's growing terror. Michael Grant's series continues at its characteristically extreme level of survival violence and psychological horror, reaching what may be the series' most unrelentingly dark installment.
