Events in this book take a turn for the chaotic as various plot threads work their way through - there's possession, breakdown, starvation, cannibalism, and zombies for the FAYZ residents to cope with in Lies and sometimes it really is quite scary. It's as much of a page-turner as the first two books in the series, and the writing is as brisk, efficient and visual as ever. Lies is the third book in this very strong series about the struggle for survival in Perdido Beach, after Little Pete created the FAYZ, sealed it off from the outside world, and made all the adults disappear. And what's worse is that Sam doesn't think he is, either.
Tensions are growing and the Town Council isn't up to the job. Zil's band of freak-haters are gearing up to cause some damage, Caine is down but not out, and food is still in short supply. Astrid's Town Council is busy bringing bureaucracy and officialdom to the FAYZ, but will it ever do anything other than procrastinate? Sam doesn't think so and he's painfully aware that danger lurks around every corner. But he resents being sidelined by his own girlfriend. Page-turning stuff with echoes of Stephen King and Heroes.
Summary: Continuing adventures in the FAYZ, a town sealed off from the outside world in which all the adults have disappeared and horrors wait around every corner.
