Oblivion is a fantasy novel by British writer Anthony Horowitz. It is the fifth and final book in The Power of Five series. The book is set in England, New York City, Giza, Dubai, Brazil, Italy and Antarctica. Horowitz began writing Oblivion in 2009 and finished it in 2012, when it was then released in the United Kingdom on 4 October 2012. Horowitz has stated that he had researched global warming for this novel.[1]

Oblivion marks a significant change in the narrative, being the only novel in the series set in the future - The novel is narrated in third-person in some places, switching between the points of view of Matt, Pedro, Scott, Jamie and Scarlett, while in others places, it is narrated in first-person by brand new character called Holly.
