The last book seemed like the series was running out of juice and I found it impossible to believe that Grant could sustain the story throughout the 3 more books he had planned. This book pretty much completely overruled everything negative I may have said about Lies. As ever what makes this series head and shoulders above so many of its ilk is that we're never allowed to forget that these really children! Mid-series, yet from my opinion this book out did the previous one! 8.5 out of 12. I pretty much like every single character I like that they (at least 10 main characters each book!), are all multi-faceted, that they are each haunted by the new reality and the actions taken and seen in their own way. I am so invested in this expertly created reality. The latest problem for the residents of Perdido Beach is a slowly dwindling water supply that sees Sam, Breeze and Jack set off on an adventure of hopeful discovery In the sole prison place sits what is left of Drake and Brittney, will the kids regret not killing them? As ever the Darkness waits for no-one and continues to work on it's own interest, now focussed on its nemesis! A book of leaders, those that need to be lead and power brokers, and those with power! Gone, book 4: In the mysteriously (to most) cut-off and domed part of San Francisco known as the FAYZ, what abounds for the kids is hunger, savagery, decay and death, but also order, money, commerce and a council.
