Description
The explosive follow-up to Monster and Villain by bestselling author Michael Grant…
Vector may just be the deadliest enemy Dekka and the group will ever face. He is a swarm of disease-bearing insects. His victims are hit with a wide range of supercharged diseases and are then unable to die, but go on and on in a living hell.
With Sam, Astrid, and Edilio back to help them, they form a team known as the Rockborn Gang. They also have a new member: Simone, a blue-skinned punk who can fly.
But Vector is only just the beginning, and the Rockborn Gang are forced to question if everything they’ve gone through until now is even real.
Perfect for fans of the GONE series, The Darkest Minds, and X-Men.

About the Author
Michael Grant, author of Messenger of Fear, the Gone series, and the Magnificent Twelve series, has spent much of his life on the move. Raised in a military family, he attended ten schools in five states, as well as three schools in France. Even as an adult he kept moving, and in fact he became a writer in part because it was one of the few jobs that wouldn't tie him down. His fondest dream is to spend a year circumnavigating the globe and visiting every continent. Yes, even Antarctica. He lives in California with his wife, Katherine Applegate, and their two children.
