El tercer y último libro de la trilogía Chaos Walking , en la que se basa la próxima producción cinematográfica de Lionsgate. Tres ejércitos marchan hacia New Prentisstown, cada uno decidido a eliminar a los otros. Todd y Viola no tienen posibilidad de escapar. Cuando las batallas den comienzo, ¿cómo van a detenerlas? ¿Cómo pueden conseguir la paz cuando les superan tanto en número? Y si la guerra convierte a los hombres en monstruos, ¿qué terribles decisiones les aguardan? ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The riveting Chaos Walking trilogy by two-time Carnegie Medalist Patrick Ness, reissued with compelling new covers -- and a bonus short story in each book. “This is science fiction at its best, and is a singular fusion of brutality and idealism that is, at last, perfectly human.” -- Booklist (starred review) As a world-ending war surges around them, Todd and Viola face monstrous decisions. The indigenous Spackle, thinking and acting as one, have mobilized to avenge their murdered people. Ruthless human leaders prepare to defend their factions at all costs, even as a convoy of new settlers approaches. And as the ceaseless Noise lays all thoughts bare, the projected will of the few threatens to overwhelm the desperate desire of the many. The consequences of each action, each word, are unspeakably vast: To follow a tyrant or a terrorist? To save the life of the one you love most, or thousands of strangers? To believe in redemption, or assume it is lost? Becoming adults amid the turmoil, Todd and Viola question all they have known, racing through horror and outrage toward a shocking finale.
