About this ebook

X-Men meets Marissa Meyer’s Renegades when New York Times bestselling author of the Uglies series Scott Westerfeld teams up with award-winning authors Margo Lanagan and Deborah Biancotti in the final book of an explosive trilogy about six teens with unique abilities.

The Zeroes are in disarray.

One of them has vanished. One of them is in prison. The rest are on the most-wanted list. And something big is brewing.

Accused of murdering Swarm, Bellwether is in a high-security prison, isolated and unable to use his powers of influence. Flicker, Crash, Mob, and Scam are on the run as suspected domestic terrorists. And Agent Phan of the FBI has a secret weapon up his sleeve—a teenager with a superpower that the Zeroes haven’t encountered yet.

After a daring breakout, the group is drawn to New Orleans, where celebrating Mardi Gras crowds promise enormous power to anyone who can channel it. There, an army of Zeroes is gathering around a charismatic leader—whose plans are nothing short of cataclysmic.

Time is running out for the Zeroes, but they must learn to trust one another again if they want to avert the looming disaster.

Ratings and reviews

The finish of the trilogy that wraps up perfectly. The characters receive more development but the bigger thing, is that both their morals and their powers are developed with their characters perfectly. Ethan (Scam) was always interesting to me. I loved him in the first book, but the question behind what really IS his power was the #1 question on my mind gets solved perfectly. Each character gets enough time to themselves and while we don't know the villain long, it doesn't ruin the story.

It's a more realistic X-Men where the powers that are wielded arent OP or broken. A story of people tearing apart and coming together. In my opinion a MUST READ!

After reading the first two books, as well as many others by Westerfeld, I found myself having high expectations for this. Was not disappointed, and recommend this to all readers.
