BZRK (Berserk) delivers high-stakes action and psychological suspense from Michael Grant, the New York Times bestselling author of the GONE series. This dystopian thriller takes readers into a nano-level battlefield where the human brain becomes ground zero for a war between control and freedom.
Charles and Benjamin Armstrong, conjoined twins who own the Armstrong Fancy Gifts Corporation, have engineered a plan to reshape humanity. Their vision promises a world without war, conflict, or hunger—but at the cost of free will itself. Standing against them is BZRK, a guerrilla group of teenagers fighting to preserve humanity's right to be imperfect, chaotic, and fundamentally human.
This conflict operates on the nano-level, with weapons deployed directly into the human brain. There are no compromises in this war—only victory or madness awaits those who enter the battlefield.
Grant constructs a narrative around themes of conspiracy, mystery, and shifting realities. The novel challenges readers to consider questions of personal choice and its broader impact: Which side would you choose? How far would you go to win? The nanotechnology warfare creates a unique premise that separates this thriller from typical dystopian fiction.
Readers who loved The Hunger Games will find similar intensity and moral complexity in BZRK. The book appeals to fans of action-adventure thrillers with dystopian elements, offering suspense combined with thought-provoking questions about control, freedom, and what it means to be human.
Michael Grant spent his life moving between locations—raised in a military family, he attended ten schools across five U.S. states and three schools in France. This constant movement influenced his decision to become a writer, one of the few careers that wouldn't tie him to a single location. He lives in Marin County, California, with his wife, Katherine Applegate, their two children, and numerous pets. Visit him online at www.themichaelgrant.com.
