The riveting Chaos Walking trilogy by two-time Carnegie Medalist
Patrick Ness, reissued with compelling 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.
