Hero

Autor Michael Grant
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 oct 2019

În HERO PB, tinerii cititori vor experimenta o încheiere plină de adrenalină a unei saga care a captivat generații întregi de fani ai literaturii fantastice. Considerăm că acest volum final nu este doar o luptă între bine și rău, ci o explorare profundă a responsabilității care vine odată cu puterea. Copiii vor descoperi tensiunea unei lumi în care virusul extraterestru continuă să transforme oameni obișnuiți în ființe cu abilități extraordinare, forțându-i pe protagoniștii din Rockborn Gang să ia decizii dificile în New York-ul asediat. Michael Grant propune un ritm alert, specific genului science-fiction, dar presărat cu întrebări existențiale despre moralitate. Părinții care au citit cu plăcere Villain vor aprecia și această carte pentru felul în care autorul nuanțează distincția dintre erou și răufăcător, oferind o perspectivă matură asupra consecințelor violenței. Deși este o lectură densă, de peste 400 de pagini, structura narativă menține interesul prin misterul „Observatorilor Întunecați” și explorarea dimensiunilor inaccesibile oamenilor de rând. Este o experiență de lectură intensă, care marchează un rămas-bun memorabil de la universul început în seria Gone.

Descriere scurtă

Vector may just be the deadliest enemy Dakka and the Rockborn gang will ever face. He is a swarm of disease-bearing insects. His victims are unable to die, but go on and on in a living hell. But Vector is only just the beginning, and the Rockborn Gang are forced to question if everything they¿ve gone through until now is even real.

Descriere

Four years after the Perdido Beach dome went down, the alien virus that created it is still wreaking havoc, and virus-infested rock has created a new set of humans with mutant powers. Rockborn gang members Dekka, Shade, Cruz, Malik, Armo, and Francis are fresh off their defeat of Dillion Poe and in need of answers to some very pressing questions about their own powers: who are the Dark Watchers? And what is this Fourth Dimension that only Francis can access? But heroes don't get down time. When the alien-virus infested rock hits New York, a new foe, Bob Markovic, rises amongst the newly rockborn. Markovic's arrogance and lack of a moral compass already made him unbearable. With his newfound power to inflict a deadly disease, he could send all of humanity into a living hell. As they try to find their footing on morally gray grounds, the Rockborn Gang will have to make some tough decisions if they want to save the world. Michael Grant bids farewell to the globally bestselling Gone universe with the finale to the Monster trilogy.

Recenzii

Praise for MONSTER: “Fans of this very popular series will no doubt clamor for this most recent addition.”

School Library Journal
“New characters and old favorites abound in this follow-up. The cast is fairly diverse, covering a wide variety of skin colors, sexual orientations, and gender identities. Longtime fans will surely be excited by the novel’s final moments. A bombastic, engaging start to a sequel series full of potential.”

Kirkus Reviews
“Grant’s modern take on the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde narrative ratchets up the gore and action, and features a diverse cast of characters...[An] evocative, intricately plotted companion series that delves into similar issues of bioethics and gray areas of morality.”

Booklist
Praise for GONE: ”This intense, marvelously plotted, paced, and characterized story will immediately garner comparisons to Lord of the Flies or even the long-playing world shifts of Stephen King, with just a dash of X-Men for good measure.”

Booklist (starred review)

Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) (starred review)

Notă biografică

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.
