Description

Twenty years after a devastating war, a new generation on New World faces an insidious threat: a mysterious sickness that manifests their deepest fears. As children begin to disappear, suspicion falls on the indigenous Spackle and a strange object in the sky, igniting old prejudices. Two brothers, one with a logical mind and the other with a courageous heart, embark on separate quests to uncover the truth, challenging their beliefs about family, belonging, and their very existence. Patrick Ness masterfully returns to this richly imagined world, exploring themes of environmentalism, xenophobia, and the power of propaganda in a thrilling science-fiction adventure.
