Plague

Description: The Darkness has found its way into the mind of its Nemesis at last and is controlling it through a haze of delirium and confusion. A highly contagious, fatal illness spreads at an alarming rate. Sinister, predatory insects terrorize Perdido Beach. And Sam, Astrid, Diana, and Caine are plagued by a growing doubt that they'll escape--or even survive--life in the FAYZ.

Brief description:

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.

Review Quotes:

Praise for GONE: "These are exciting, high-tension stories told in a driving, torrential narrative that never lets up.

Most of all, there are children I can believe in and root for."--Stephen King "A tour de force that will leave readers dazed, disturbed, and utterly breathless."

Fans will be satisfied--for now." - Booklist (starred review)
