출판사 설명
Welcome back to the FAYZ! This is Book 2 in the series that Stephen King calls a "driving, torrential narrative." An uneasy calm has settled over Perdido Beach. But in this gripping survival story, fear explodes into desperation as food supplies dwindle and starvation sets in. More and more kids are developing strange superpowers and, just as frighteningly, so are the animals in the FAYZ: talking coyotes, swimming bats and deadly worms with razor-sharp teeth are just the beginning. For Sam Temple the strain of leadership is beginning to show and he’s got more than just dwindling rations and in-fighting to worry about – Caine is back with the psychotic whiphand, Drake, by his side. And deep in the ground, the biggest danger of all is getting hungry . . . The GONE series is a supernatural thriller and Lord of the Flies for the 21st century. In turns breathtaking, harrowing, and utterly terrifying. Its complex characters and moral dilemmas will delight fans of The Hunger Games, Divergent and The Maze Runner. This is YA dystopian fiction at its best. Have you read all 6 titles in the New York Times bestselling saga?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In the sequel to 2008's Gone, things have only gotten worse for the kids trapped in the small area around Perdido Beach, Calif. After three months, they still have no contact with the outside world, more dangerous mutant animals are cropping up and food supplies are becoming perilously scarce. Even as Caine starts to recover from the confrontation with the town leader (and half-brother) Sam, the evil gaiaphage exerts its influence, manipulating Caine and others in a plan to gain more power. The ongoing divide between kids who have developed powers and ones who haven't also threatens to lead to violence. Grant throws everything at the children, from gory deaths every bit as nasty as in mainstream horror to sexual tension, eating disorders and drug use. The large cast of characters from a variety of racial and sexual backgrounds might be hard for some to keep track of, but readers looking for intense, nearly nonstop action and emotional drama will find lots to enjoy, even as the climactic ending sets up another sequel. Ages 12 up.

Great story line
I haven’t fully read the second book but I sure can say I love this series so much. I like to read survival books and this one is just perfect. I was struggling to find a good book and came across this in a library and read the first book and started the second and I am loving every bit!
Perfect!!!
This is seriously the best series I've ever read in my life. You know how in the beginning of books it's really boring and it usually only gets good until the middle? Well I loved it from the start and Even before I started reading it. I am the number one fan of Michael Grant! Michael Grant, if you are reading this, keep on writing books! Continue the series! I want to keep on reading this for ever! Write a book about after the Fayz!
