«Plague» is Michael Grant's young adult science fiction and fantasy novel, published by Egmont Books (UK) in paperback (526 pages, in English).
Eight months after the disappearance of all adults, the young people of Perdido Beach remain trapped in a hostile world. Having survived hunger and lies, a tense calm precedes new dangers: a contagious and deadly disease spreads, and predatory insects terrorize the city. Little Pete, in his feverish dreams, has fallen under the control of the Darkness, while Sam, Astrid, Diana and Caine face desperate decisions to save themselves.
This novel is the fourth installment in the «Gone» series.
For young and adult readers fond of dystopian science fiction, horror and survival stories, especially followers of the Gone series.
Michael Grant was an English classicist, Professor of Humanity at the University of Edinburgh, numismatist, and author of numerous books on ancient history. His 1956 translation of Tacitus's Annals of Imperial Rome remains a standard of the work. Having studied and held a number of academic posts in the United Kingdom and the Middle East, he retired early to write full-time. He once described himself as "one of the very few freelancers in the field of ancient history: a rare phenomenon". As a populariser, his hallmarks were his prolific output and his unwillingness to oversimplify or talk down to his readership. He published over 70 works.
