Cela fait trois mois que les enfants de la petite ville californienne de Perdido Beach sont piégés dans une bulle qu'ils ont baptisée la Zone. Trois mois que tous les habitants de plus de 15 ans ont disparu. La nourriture commence à manquer, la famine s'annonce et personne n'a de solution. Bientôt des dissensions éclatent entre les " mutants ", qui développent des pouvoirs surnaturels, et les " normaux ". Le chaos s'installe en ville. Sans compter qu'un danger bien plus terrible menace les habitants de la Zone. L'Ombre, une créature inquiétante terrée dans les collines, appelle ses serviteurs. Elle s'est réveillée. Et elle a faim.

Imaginez... Cela fait six mois que tous les adultes ont disparu de Perdido Beach. Six mois, que les enfants errent dans les rues, abandonnés, tenaillés par la faim, assoiffés d'un profond désir de vengeance. Six mois qu'une bulle surnaturelle les coupe du reste du monde. Jusqu'au jour où les rumeurs les plus folles circulent, propagées par Orsay qui se proclame "Prophétesse". Elle affirme que la mort est le seul moyen de quitter la Zone. Désormais les enfants ne songent qu'à une chose : fuir. Mais sont-ils assez désespérés pour croire que seule la mort les délivrera ?

Qui n'a jamais rêvé d'un monde sans adultes ? Imaginez... Tous les êtres humains de plus de 15 ans ont disparu. Plus incroyable encore, ceux qui restent développent des super-pouvoirs mais ils ne parviennent pas encore à les maîtriser... Cette aventure extraordinaire est arrivée à Sam, 14 ans, et à tous les enfants de la petite ville californienne de Perdido. Passé la première période d'euphorie, les enfants doivent maintenant s'organiser pour survivre. Qui va s'occuper des bébés et des malades ? Comment trouver de la nourriture ? Autant de questions vitales à résoudre en urgence !

That was the night five normal kids learned that humanity is under a silent attack -- and were given the power to fight back.

One of the greatest multiracial states the world has ever known, the Roman Empire stretched from Britain to the Sahara & from the Atlantic to the Euphrates. Vast & powerful, Imperial Rome instituted many conventions that distinguish life today--reason enough for us to wonder about the men who ruled in her name. Some early writers painted vivid portraits that, with their sensational details, often overshadowed the events of the time. In this book, classical historian Michael Grant uses these writings, augmenting them with evidence from archeology, inscriptions, coins & medallions to reconstruct the lives of 92 Roman emperors. Here are Augustus & Claudius, Gaius & Nero, Aurelian & Constantine, as colorful & diverse a group of men as any in history, alive again in a magnificent collection of biographical cameos as remarkable for their readability as for their depth.
