Publisher Description

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.

“This wasn't good. The plot was messy, and the ending was horrific. The antagonist was cheesy, as was her minions. I was literally falling asleep to this story. The only characters that I really cared about were Thibault and Flicker. I wanted to know what happened to him after the last book, and I'm happy he didn't die. Plus I love their relationship. I'm not really into Mardi Gras, so I didn't really like the setting. I also hated how Scam couldn't talk anymore at the end. That sucked. Honestly, this whole series is probably 2 and a half stars for me. I liked it...sort of, but I didn't love it. I won't come back to this, but I would recommend this to people in middle school who like superheroes. :l”
