About the Book
The Chaos Walking trilogy concludes as full-scale war breaks out between the settlers and the indigenous Spackle, with Mayor Prentiss and the Answer's leader manipulating the conflict, while Todd and Viola try to prevent a catastrophe and the Spackle find their own voice through a new perspective. The most politically and ethically complex volume of the trilogy, introducing a third narrative voice. An emotionally devastating and morally serious conclusion.
