There's a lot of hyperbole in this but it may mean something if you have
read the forerunners, which I have not.

MEDIA RELEASE
ALLEGIANT
by VERONICA ROTH
THE FINAL NOVEL IN THE No. 1 NEW YORK TIMES
BESTSELLING DIVERGENT TRILOGY
THE MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK RELEASE OF 2013
AllegiantDemi_BRIGHT.JPGOn October 23rd 2013, HarperCollins will celebrate
the worldwide release of Allegiant by Veronica Roth.
Allegiant, which will have an initial print run of 2 million copies in the
US alone, is the highly anticipated final book in Roth's No. 1 New York
Times bestselling Divergent trilogy.
Won in a major pre-empt deal while Roth was still a college student and
first published in May 2011, Veronica Roth's debut novel Divergent was an
instant bestseller, immediately embraced by both teen readers and adults
alike.
With massive critical and commercial appeal, unstoppable international buzz
- foreign rights have sold in 42 territories and counting - and the
Divergent film starring Shailene Woodley, Theo James, and Academy Award
winner Kate Winslet set for wide release from SUMMIT Entertainment in 2014,
the Divergent trilogy is poised to follow in the footsteps of Twilight and
The Hunger Games as the next young adult book series to become a major pop
culture phenomenon.
ABOUT THE SERIES:
In a futuristic Chicago, society is divided into five factions, each
dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue-Candor (the honest),
Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and
Erudite (the intelligent). Once a year, every 16-year-old must select the
faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. Beatrice Prior
must choose between the family she's grown up with or to face initiation
into a new faction. Those who fail their initiation become Factionless.
Those who don't fit into one faction are considered a danger to society:
they are Divergent.
One choice can transform you - or it can destroy you. Every choice has
consequences, and as unrest surges in the factions all around her, Tris must
continue trying to save those she loves - and herself - while grappling with
haunting questions of identity and loyalty, politics and love. Transformed
by radical new discoveries, shifting relationships, and the haunting grief
and guilt she feels in her own heart, Tris must fully embrace her
Divergence, even if she does not yet know what - or whom - she may lose by
doing so.
A conclusion as rich and thought provoking as Divergent and Insurgent,
Allegiant pulls readers deeper into Tris's compelling and unforgettable
adventure as her deeply flawed - and frighteningly real - "perfect society"
crumbles around her and a potent revolution takes hold.
Praise for the DIVERGENT trilogy by VERONICA ROTH:
"The next big thing." - ROLLING STONE
"With brisk pacing and lavish flights of imagination. Divergent clearly has
thrills, but it also movingly explores a more common adolescent anxiety-the
painful realization that coming into one's own sometimes means leaving
family behind, both ideologically and physically." - THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK
REVIEW
"Veronica Roth has officially succeeded Suzanne Collins as the ruling
dystopian-YA author."- ELLE
"Divergent is a captivating, fascinating book that kept me in constant
suspense and was never short on surprises. It will be a long time before I
quit thinking about this haunting vision of the future." - JAMES DASHNER,
New York Times bestselling author of THE MAZE RUNNER
"Promising author Roth tells the riveting and complex story of a teenage
girl forced to choose between her routinized, selfless family and the
adventurous, unrestrained future she longs for. [Divergent] is a memorable,
unpredictable journey from which it is nearly impossible to turn away."-
