Product Description
Book Description
The greatest air and sea battle is about to commence in the fifth instalment of the bestselling Maximum Ride series
Product Description
Nobody said saving the world would be easy.
Until now, Max and the flock have lived a lonely existence: hunted down, tortured, and pushed to the fringe of society; always on the run, they have never been able to live a normal life. But things are changing.
The flock have finally found acceptance for their extraordinary skills. The avian hybrids don't have to hide away any longer - far from it: now everyone wants to see just what they can do. But fame and fortune always come at a price and Max isn't ready for all the glitz and glamour just yet. Meanwhile sinister forces are plotting their attack, putting more than just the flock in danger.
Something deadly is lurking in the depths of the ocean. As the flock uncover a terrible secret set to threaten the world, can they save the day or is this a disaster too tough to tackle, even for them?

I have to say, having read the fourth one i was expecting this one to be exactly the same, terrible. But some of my confidence was renewed in the series with this book. Of course nothing will ever compare to the genius of the first three books, especially now that all our favourite aspects (the School, the erasers) have been removed and replaced with global warming, but it wasn't too bad.
In this installment our favourite flying kids and their talking, flying dog, are preaching to the world the horrors of too much pollution when they are attacked by ninja type robots. After recovering from this max learns that their new enemy goes by the name Mr Chu and he wants max and the game to stop campaigning against pollution. He then takes it to a new level by kidnapping Max's mom. The majority of the book then goes onto document how they get her back, with some romance along the way.
Compared to the first three books were youu feel like the books never stop throwing punches, nothing much happens in this one. But it is DEFINETLY a step up from the fourth, and at least this one was funny.

This book is so much better than the last book. I was glad that my theory that the last book was merely a filler between the 3rd book and this one.
It is not as good as the first three but Patterson has definitely bounced back after the abomination that was 'The Final Warning'. It actually has a good amount of action in it and I was almost sad that the M-Geeks seemed to be destroyed. They were on a par with Flyboys, although never as good as Erasers.
If you are a Fax (Fang and Max) fan then you will be overjoyed with this instalment of the series. They have more than one kiss in the whole book! That's a progress in itself. Max doesn't run away after them either which is always good. The flock end up knowing about their progressing relationship, along with a very unhappy Brigid.
Max's humour is as always very dry. It is made obvious in this book that she is growing up emotionally and it makes a good contrast to the previous books.
All in all it was a good book although it did all come down to global warming in the end. The theme wasn't as prominent in this book however and, unlike book four, it didn't seem like a bit of a lecture.

i think this book is absolutely amazing, though not as good as the first 2 it is definetly a must have. it continues the witty story of Max and the flock who this time are continuing to campaign against global warming. mr Chu, their new enemy, is trying to stop and will go to very extreme measures. a great book!
