|summary=Stunning conclusion to the best sci-fi series - and perhaps the best of all teen series - for many years.
}}
'''Warning: MAJOR spoilers below for the first five books in Michael Grant's excellent GONE series'''.
The dome has become transparent. The teens, and kids, in the FAYZ, are still trapped inside, but now they can see out - and their parents, and others, can see in. With interviews taking place by primitive methods, the outside world are starting to find out just how violent life has been, and this is just adding to the worries of Sam, Astrid, and the rest. How will the world receive them when they get out - or rather, if they get out? The gaiaphage, having taken human form as Caleb and Diane's rapidly-maturing daughter, is as evil as ever, and with Drake as its servant, is destroying anyone in his path. Can those left alive inside the FAYZ survive?
As mentioned above, the only teen series which really comes close to this in terms of overall quality, for me, is [[Department 19 by Will Hill]]. Having said that, Rick Yancey's the Monstrumologist series, starting with [[The Monstrumologist: The Terror Beneath by Rick Yancey]] gets better with each new book and is another strong recommendation from me for fans of this series.

|comment= I can't believe it's all over! I read the entire book in one breathless sitting broken only by a few uncontrollable spasms of excitement/horror. I totally agree that it was a stunning conclusion - it was so very much satisfying to read and I thought it felt really true to the series as a whole. Even though we do get some amount of closure, I nonetheless feel pretty devastated that the series is now over - for someone who's both a fan of sci-fi YA fiction and a massive fan of comic book superheroes, this series was literally a dream come true.
