Bookroo's summary

Four years after the FAYZ, chaos reigns as monsters terrorize the world. Dillon Poe, once mocked, now wields a deadly power: his voice can control minds. As he sends thousands to their deaths, only superpowered heroes like Dekka, Shade, and Cruz stand in his way. But as the line between hero and villain blurs, who will emerge as the true monster? In a world where civilization teeters on the brink, the stakes have never been higher. Can these heroes stop Dillon before it's too late, or will his laughter be the last sound they hear?

From the publisher

Acclaimed author Michael Grant’s globally bestselling Gone series continues with Villain, where old foes return and new ones rise, with action-packed scenes, gory battles, and plot twists that will leave readers scrambling for more. It’s been four years since the events of GONE. The Perdido Beach dome is down, but the horrors within have spread. The alien virus-infested rock that created the FAYZ is creating monsters–monsters that walk the cities and countryside, terrorizing all.There are tanks in the street and predator drones in the sky, doomed efforts to stop the disintegration of civilization. Into this chaos comes a villain with the power to control anyone with just the sound of his voice. Dillon Poe wanted to be a comedian once . . . but everyone made fun of him. Dillon the loser. Dillon the freak. Now he’s sending thousands to their death. Who’s laughing now? The only people who can stop a superpowered villain are superpowered heroes. Dekka, Shade, Cruz, Malik, Armo, and a new mutant with unmatched powers, are all that stand in Dillon’s way. But when the lines begin to blur between hero and villain–some begin to wonder who’s really the monster.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: GoneHungerLiesPlague Fear LightMonster Villain Hero
