Will Besting and the other teens whose phobias were "cured" at Fort Eden have been summoned back by Mrs. Goring. Her dying wish is to see them together one last time. Or is it?

Ensnared in a dangerous, ever-deepening mystery, Will must lead his friends through a perilous underground trap masterminded by two devious souls at war with each other. It's a game of cat and mouse, and not everyone will be alive when it's over. Can Will outwit both Rainsford and Goring, ending their reign of fear forever?

Patrick Carman's "Dark Eden: Eve of Destruction" offers a harrowing journey into the depths of fear, love, revenge, and--ultimately--redemption.

I have pretty much the same feelings about Dark Eden 2: Eve of Destruction as I did about its predecessor. Which is to say, it was a good, quick read, but it wasn’t fantastic. I still didn’t really care for any of the characters much one way or the other. The creep factor was actually down a little more in this one since all the mystery was gone and the tiny little mystery that existed I figured out almost from the beginning. Basically, if you enjoyed Dark Eden then you’ll probably enjoy Eve of Destruction as well, but it’s not a complete favorite of mine.
