The action and adventure continue for Gregor in this stunning fantasy from Suzanne Collins, bestselling author of the Hunger Games. New cover art coming July 1st

Gregor swears he will never return to the Underland, that strange world below New York City. But he is a key player in another prophecy, this one about an ominous white rat called the Bane. The Underlanders know there is only one way to lure Gregor back to their world: by kidnapping his little sister, Boots.
Now Gregor's quest reunites him with his bat, Ares, and the rebellious princess Luxa. They descend into the dangerous Waterway in search of the Bane. If Gregor does not fulfill the prophecy, his life, and the Underland, will never be the same.

作者簡介

蘇珊．柯林斯　Suzanne Collins

　　蘇珊．柯林斯早年從事電視編劇的工作，因受經典名著《愛麗絲夢遊仙境》的啟發，構思出「地底王國」（The Underland Chronicles）系列。她成功創造出一個具幻想色彩的地底世界，書中的角色勇敢迷人又具有教育意義，出版後獲得廣大回響，除了蟬聯《紐約時報》排行榜，更獲選為《紐約時報》最佳讀物、「紐約公共圖書館100本值得閱讀與分享的好書」、新大西洋獨立書商協會（NAIBA）年度最佳小說等多項大獎。

　　2008年9月，新作「飢餓遊戲」出版，不僅得到驚悚大師史蒂芬．金和《暮光之城》作者史蒂芬妮．梅爾等知名作家的肯定，甚至被《時代雜誌》遴選為年度「百大影響力人物」，成為全球知名的暢銷作家。

　　儘管寫作功力不斷獲得肯定，但是柯林斯始終保持低調，目前與家人一起住在美國康乃迪克州。
