Publisher Description

Buckle up! Max and her flock take on their most daring rescue mission yet in James Patterson's #1 bestselling Maximum Ride series.

 

Someone—or something—is decimating ships and sea life off Hawaii's coast, and Max and her flock find themselves sucked into the Navy's top-secret investigation of the catastrophe. Their objective: rescue Max's activist mom from a wicked subterranean enemy. The hitch: They must dive deep into dark waters, where gruesome evil dwells . . . and for high-flying Maximum Ride, could there be anything more terrifying than being trapped in the great abyss?

 

With sky-high thrills, this soaring adventure takes Maximum Ride and the Flock into terrifying new territory—fans, hold your breath!

Quotes

  • “Max narrates with a precocious, snarky voice but makes it relatively easy to jump into her complicated tale midstream. Not surprisingly, the open-ended conclusion begs for a follow-up; it's also little wonder that a movie franchise is in the works.”

    — Publishers Weekly
  • “Fast-paced thrills spill from the pages and pull readers in, starting on page one…Patterson weaves humor into the dramatic action. In addition, Max’s romantic relationship with Fang ripens to a more serious level than in the previous books. Hints of an approaching apocalypse, repeated references to Max’s ‘mission in saving the world,’ and a few lingering questions such as her precarious relationship with her father all leave open the possibility of a sequel.”

    — School Library Journal
  • “James Patterson’s Maximum Ride novel puts the pedal to the metal.”

    — Barnes & Noble, editorial review
  • “Action and snappy dialogue…Jill Apple reads capably.”
