Gone (novel)/Headscratchers

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Why does it never rain in the FAYZ? Water should still evaporate like normal, a lake drying up is mentioned in Plague so how come there isn't any rain?
    • Has something to do with there being a giant dome over their heads. Possible that the water can pass through it on one side (when it's being evaporated) but can't get through the other side. Also, in book four, it does rain, because LP's thirsty.
      • I've wondered if water vapour can pass through, maybe thats the whole idea, rain would help keep them alive can't have that now can we.
    • Also, the lake was drying up because they were taking too much water from it too quickly.
  • Whenever Caine goes into a dangerous situation, he takes Diana with him. Every. Freaking. Time. They're battling the kids at Perdido Beach? She's there. Taking over the nuclear power plant? There again. Going to take over Perdido beach and battle giant insects? He'll even forcibly drag her instead of coming back for her later. This would make perfect sense if she had an offensive power like his or Sam's or Dekka's, or even one that could be useful at some point during the battle, like Lana's. All she can do is read people, and she doesn't even have normal strength. Seems like the only reason she's there is to tell hiim he's going to far or get almost killed by a pissed off Drake, both of which enrage him. So . . . why?
    • Because he's obsessed with her. Most likely he wants to show off how tough and powerful he is. Diana clearly agrees to go along, so perhaps she wants to.
