Thomas z vlastných skúseností dobre vie, že CHAOS-u nemožno veriť. Predstavitelia organizácie ho však presviedčajú, že klamať už nie je potrebné. Zo skúšok zozbierali všetky potrebné údaje a teraz sa spoliehajú iba na Flekárov s obnovenou pamäťou, že im pomôžu naplniť poslanie. Flekári majú dobrovoľne absolvovať posledný test a dokončiť tak plán, ktorým je vyvinutie lieku na erupciu. CHAOS však netuší, že sa stalo niečo, čo nemohli predvídať nijaké skúšky ani premenné. Thomas si pamätá oveľa viac, než predpokladajú. A vie aj to, že CHAOS-u nemôže veriť ani slovo. S klamstvami je koniec. Lenže pravda je nebezpečnejšia, ako si Thomas vie predstaviť. Prežil Labyrint aj Zhorenisko. Prežije však aj smrteľnú liečbu?
The Portobello area of West London has a rich personality - vibrant, brilliant in colour, noisy, with graffiti that approach art, bizarre and splendid. An indefinable edge to it adds a spice of danger. There is nothing safe about Portobello... Eugene Wren inherited an art gallery from his father near an arcade that now sells cashmere, handmade soaps and children's clothes. But he decided to move to a more upmarket site in Kensington Church Street. Eugene was fifty, with prematurely white hair. He was, perhaps, too secretive for his own good. He also had an addictive personality. But he had cut back radically on his alcohol consumption and had given up cigarettes. Which was just as well, considering he was going out with a doctor. For all his good intentions, though, there was something he didn't want her to know about... On a shopping trip one day, Eugene, quite by chance, came across an envelope containing money. He picked it up. For some reason, rather than report the matter to the police, he wrote a note and stuck it up on lamppost near his house: 'Found in Chepstow Villas, a sum of money between eighty and a hundred and sixty pounds. Anyone who has lost such a sum should apply to the phone number below.' This note would link the lives of a number of very different people - each with their obsessions, problems and dreams and despairs. And through it all the hectic life of Portobello would bustle on.
