Messenger of Fear: Messenger of Fear, cartea 1
Autor Michael Granten Hardback – 23 sep 2014 – vârsta de la 14 ani
Mara Todd wakes in a field of dead grass, a heavy mist pressing down on her. She is terrified, afraid that she is dead. She can't remember who she is or anything about her past. Is it because of the boy who appears? He calls himself the Messenger of Fear. If the world does not bring justice to those who do evil, the Messenger will. He offers the wicked a game. If they win, they go free. If they lose, they will live their greatest fear. Either way, their sanity will be challenged.
It is a world of fair but harsh justice. Of retribution and redemption. And mystery. Why was Mara chosen to be the Messenger's apprentice? What has she done to deserve this terrible fate? She won't find out until three of the wicked receive justice. And when she does, she will be shattered.

Mara
wakes
in
a
field
of
dead
grass,
a
heavy
mist
pressing
down
on
her.
She
is
terrified,
afraid
that
she
is
dead.
There is a boy in that mist, a beautiful young man dressed in black and able to move effortlessly through space and time. He is the Messenger of Fear.
The Messenger sees the darkness in human hearts. He sees the evils done: the destructive lies, the cruelty, the bullying, the violence. And if the world does not bring justice to those who do evil, the Messenger will. He offers the wicked a game. If they win, they go free. If they lose, they will live their greatest fear. Either way, their sanity will be challenged.
It is a world of fair but harsh justice. Of retribution and redemption. And mystery. Why was Mara chosen to be the Messenger's apprentice? What has she done to deserve this terrible fate? She won't find out until three of the wicked receive justice. And when she does, she will be shattered.
Told through compelling stories that are masterfully intertwined,Messenger of Fearis about the terrible choices that people make in life. Michael Grant, author of theNew York Timesbestselling Gone series, has created a powerful and brilliant narrative that examines the nature of good and evil in every human.

Recenzii
“The
Messenger
of
Fear
has
a
two-word
message
for
readers:
BE
AFRAID.
The
nightmares
start
in
chapter
one
and
don’t
let
up.
Seriously,
this
book
gave
me
chill
after
chill.
My
message
to
you:
Read
it
in
a
safe,
well-lighted
place.
It’s
fright
fiction
at
its
best!”
“The enviably cunning and ever versatile Michael Grant explodes on the scene with Messenger of Fear, a palpitating horror fantasy mash-up with a genius twist that blew my mind. I walked through O’hare with this book in my face—I couldn’t stop reading!”
“Mesmerizing, horrifying, and deeply thought-provoking.”
Grant only slowly unveils the reason Mara is with the Messenger, building tension and atmosphere expertly for maximum impact. Readers will find that in the end, it all comes together extremely well. An unusual and intriguing puzzle of a book.
“Grant’s new series starts off with a bang and never lets up.The games will delight those readers who enjoy a little gore and horror in their books. This is a promising start to a series with a truly unique concept.”
“Written from a stream-of-consciousness point of view, this book is a welcome change from the current dystopian young adult books that are so popular.The idea that good and evil in the world are balanced on the edge of a knife is a motivating philosophy.”
“Grant explores bullying, family problems, suicide, and more, and several painful passages will have readers cringing, even as they make them think about what they would do in the same situation….a solid beginning to a series that is likely to be quite popular with horror and paranormal fans.” ”
Praise for GONE: “If Stephen King had written LORD OF THE FLIES, it might have been a little like this.”
Praise for HUNGER: “Readers will be unable to avoid involuntary gasping, shuddering, or flinching while reading this suspense-filled story.”
Praise for LIES: “Disturbing, brilliantly plotted, and boasting a balanced mix of action and scheming.”
Praise for PLAGUE: “Grant’s science fantasy thrillers continue to be the very definition of a page-turner.”
Praise for FEAR: “Fans can count on more excellent storytelling, multidimensional characters who continue to develop in unexpected ways, and some mighty fine eye-popping moments.”
Praise for LIGHT: “As a series finale, this book is more than satisfying-it is epic.”
