Maximum Ride
The Fugitives Trilogy
Book #1: The Angel Experiment
Meet the flock, Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, the Gasman, and Angel. We’re six kids who are pretty normal (except that we’re part bird and we fly). We grew up in a lab, living like rats in cages, but now we’re free. Except for the fact that we’re prime prey for Erasers (wicked wolf-like creatures with a taste for flying humans). Our mission is to: rescue Angel from malicious mutants, infiltrate a secret facility to track down our missing parents, scavenge for sustenance, get revenge on an evil traitor, oh yeah, and save the world, too.
Book #2: School’s Out—Forever
It’s your best dream and worst nightmare: school’s out—forever!
Max and her gang are discovered by an FBI agent and forced to face their worst nightmare: you guessed it–school. That is, the abominable place where they learn everything except how to survive as winged mutants relentlessly hunted by killers…
Book #3: Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports
Max and the flock are clearly destined for greatness. Undaunted. Indomitable. Inseparable. But our six winged heroes now face extermination by a new kind of enemy. Spectacularly frightening and horrifically perfect…. A century of advanced science taken to an appalling level. Now the flock is being chased—no, hunted—around the world. This time, it’s inevitable: they will get caught.
So they might as well have some fun!
The Protectors
Book #1: The Final Warning
In one of the world’s most extreme environments—the freezing South Pole—Max and the flock are in serious trouble. The grotesque Uber-Director has put a price on their heads, and a worldwide auction for the genetically modified kids is about to begin…
Oblivious to the Uber-Director’s evil plans, the flock is on a special government mission to save the Earth. But in a brutal environment like the South Pole, being able to fly isn’t always an option for escaping from your worst nightmares…
Book #2: Max
Comfortable in their new, specially designed safe house, Max and the rest of the Flock finally begin to feel optimistic about their newly-gained freedom. But when the Machine Geeks-a whole new breed of terrifying enemies-appears, Max’s peaceful reprieve comes to a crashing halt. These creatures-part machine, part human, part geek, totally destructive-are in the service of an ominous Mr. Chu, who has his eyes on the Flock and their unique abilities. And he desperately wants them on his team. But if he can’t have them, he’ll make it so nobody else can either!
As the Flock is busy battling off the Machine Geeks and the Erasers, trouble is bubbling to the surface of the ocean-thousands of fish are dying and something is forcefully capsizing of hundreds of boats. When the government asks for the Flock’s help in solving this undersea mystery, they think it will be the perfect chance to escape from Mr. Chu and his marauding gang of thugs-especially since it means a trip to Hawaii! But all does not go according to plan and the danger continues to threaten Max and her friends on all fronts. Can they protect themselves from Mr. Chu and the ocean from utter destruction?
