I had blogged about the 1st and 2nd book of the GONE series last time. So this time I am going to write about the 3rd and 4th books.
The third book in this series is Lies. In this book Orsay, a girl that can see into other people’s dreams, has a friend. No one has ever seen this friend; the friend calls herself Nerezza. Nerezza is not someone that you would typically forget. Nerezza tricks Mary, head of the daycare, into letting Jill, who sings like a siren, to live with Orsay. They had found Jill in Brittney’s grave. Brittney has been dead for awhile, ever-since-the-battle-at-the-power-plant awhile. Orsay is claiming that she can even see people’s dreams that live outside of the FAYZ. One night Orsay gets a dream from Sam’s mother. His mother had told Orsay that she needs to tell Sam “There's a time when the world no longer needs heroes. And then the true hero knows to walk away.” They find Brittney sitting on Howard and Orc’s couch. Brittney has been granted immortality so she doesn’t need food or water to love on like everyone else. Sam orders Brianna, she has enhanced speed, to keep Brittney in her house. Down on the beach someone had reported seeing Drake Merwin, the person who has a whip like arm. When Sam gets down to the beach they find a dead person with whip marks all over their body. Meanwhile the HC is making a deal with Caine. Bug, power of camouflage, says that there is an island off the shore of Perdido Beach that they can go. Caine tells Zil, leader of the HC, to set Perdido Beach on fire so they can get through the town, steal some boats, and make it to the islands. Caine never believed Zil would be brave enough to actually do it, but Zil did come through. While people are trying to put the fires out Caine, Diana, Bug, and Penny (makes people see horrible hallucinations). On that island the little group from Coates finds Sanjint and his siblings. Sanjint can tell that Caine and his friends aren’t very good people so when he slips them something in their food. Then while Caine and his friends are still asleep Sanjint and his siblings sneak out and escape using the helicopter and crash land in Perdido Beach. Mary, one of the most important people in the FAYZ, 15th birthday is coming up. Nerezza convinces Mary that is she “steps out” of the FAYZ she will be home again, but there is a catch. Mary has to be at the cliff overlooking the beach. Mary takes all of the children in the daycare with her; of course they are little kids so they are all holding hands. When Mary “steps out” she walks off of the cliff and takes the children with her! Thanks to Dekka, power of antigravity, and Brianna they save the kids in the neck of time. Drake is revealed to share the same body as Brittney. Sometimes it is Brittney sometimes it is Drake. After that is all over Pete finds his game boy smashed on the ground. Pete totally flips out and starts screaming, in that little bit of time the FAYZ wall disappears and everyone sees what is going on outside.
The fourth book in that series is Plague. In this book Michael Grant describes what life is like from Pete’s point of view. He has the Darkness on one side of him and everyone else is on the other side. And he is balancing in the middle on a sheet of glass. Then the book goes back to the normal point of view. Three girls all named Jennifer have the flu or what everyone thinks is the flu. It is actually a fever that starts out like the flu but ends up making you literally cough your lungs out! Even Lana’s healing powers are useless to fix the disease. Then Hunter, microwave-like heat powers, is out hunting a lion when he discovers that the growth on his shoulder is eating him from the inside out. Sam, Dekka, and Jack meet up with Hunter and Sam, out of pity incinerates Hunter. But those insects in him were completely unharmed. So after they kill those insects they continue on their journey to find water at the lake, since water is so scarce in Perdido Beach. Drake/Brittney is locked up in Orc and Howard’s basement, but Orc when drunk let it out and it starts to use the insects, which were created by the Darkness, to try and kill Sam and his crew for revenge, either the Darkness or Drake I don’t remember. There is to much bad blood between Sam and Drake so there has to be a battle between them. Once done with Sam Drake goes out to murder Astrid and capture Pete. As that battle goes on Quinn was sent to go get Caine off of the island that he is on to come and help Perdido Beach. Caine agrees because he believes it will be a good chance to take over the town. At the end of the book Astrid throws Pete to the insects and Pete makes them disappear along with himself! Will they all be trapped in the FAYZ forever? Also Caine and Sam agree that Caine will rule Perdido Beach as a king and Sam will control the lake but not be a king. Whoever wants to can live with Sam or live with Caine. Surprisingly Diana chooses to live in Sam’s territory. Will Caine be okay with this?
This book series has a fifth book out as well but I have no read it yet. The fifth book is called FEAR.
