Synopsis

The mind-blowing conclusion to the Monster trilogy and the final installment in the Gone series from science fiction and fantasy master Michael Grant is perfect for superhero and Stephen King fans alike.After the fall of Perdido Beach dome, a new set of humans developed mutant powers from the rock infected with alien virus. They are the Rockborn Gang: Dekka, Shade, Cruz, Malik, Armo, and Francis. With their superpowers, they have defended the earth from other rockborn who used their powers for evil, like Dillon Poe.When another rock carrying the virus strikes New York, a new foe, Bob Markovic, rises with a horrifying and nearly unstoppable ability. Markovic’s unending ambition and lack of a moral compass made him unbearable before the virus. And that was before he was a swarm of plague-ridden insects, with the power and means to take over the city—and maybe the world.As the Rockborn Gang try to defeat their latest villain, they will find themselves on morally gray grounds and have to make tough decisions if they want to save the world.In this pulse-pounding finale to the saga more than ten years in the making, Michael Grant delivers an unforgettable conclusion while asking: What does it take to be a hero?Praise for Monster:“Ratchets up the gore and action, and features a diverse cast of characters. An evocative, intricately plotted companion series.” –ALA BooklistRead the entire series:GoneHungerLiesPlagueFearLightMonsterVillainHero

About Michael Grant

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. You can visit him online at www.themichaelgrant.com and follow him on Twitter @MichaelGrantBks.

3.5 Stars ---------- I 100% think that Michael Grant is capable of just destroying the whole of the human civilisation, so the series can go out with a bang. Best we not think about it... ------------------ If Michael Grant doesn't release a short story after this is published with Dekka happy, at home,......more

What an ending Mr Grant! Absolutely loved the Gone series, and Hero brings the ‘sequels’ trilogy to a close. Absolutely brilliant, highly recommended, so many memorable characters and all so flawed and perfect and fragile and empowering and diverse and STRONG in every sense.

Goodreads review by Insert on October 02, 2019

The Rockborn Gang face a new horrific monster as the terrifying trilogy races to its action packed finale. ...well. That ending is going to be very divisive. I can see wars erupting online over this one. There's not a lot I can say about this without spoiling that ending. There are a few more of the......more

Goodreads review by Daisy on March 18, 2020

This book was good to start with. I liked the plot and the characters. However it was ruined by the ending. SPOILERS: The fact that it turned out they had been in a simulation all the long just ruined it for me. Up until that point it had been a fun book that had got dark at some moments. But, by tur......more
