'Patterson knows where our deepest fears are buried... There's no stopping his imagination.'
(New York Times Book Review )Product Description
The exhilarating third novel in James Patterson's exciting adventure series for 9-15 year olds.
You're about to join the adventures of Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy, and Angel, six extraordinary kids who have powers like no other: they can fly, and they're being chased--no, hunted--across America and around the world. THIS IS THE END, MY FRIENDS. But I promise that you'll fly higher than ever before in this wild adventure, witness battles worthy of multiplex movie screens, and laugh until your sides hurt. Believe it or not, there's even a little romance. But all good things - and even terrible, unspeakable ones - must come to an end. This is that moment in time, I'm afraid. Either we save the world, or we crash and burn. And I mean all of us - even you, faithful reader, because you play a very big part in this story. Max The Flock needs your help. Yes, you. Join us at www.maximumride.com.

Max and the flock are back. While she continues to keep the flock safe, she also has to figure out how she is supposed to save the world. The evil plan is days away from unfolding. Half of the people in the world are going to be killed in order to give the worthy ones that remain a chance to thrive. The human race has done such a poor job of taking care of the planet that the Itex Corporation decided only the people with something to offer deserve the right to live in it.
Another problem the flock is dealing with is the creation of an updated version of Erasers. Now made of metal and covered with a layer of skin, learning how to take them out takes a little time - especially since these "Flyboys" come equipped with guns!
Relationships are strained within the flock in this latest installment of the MAXIMUM RIDE saga. Fang continues to update his blog and attempt to enlist children from around the world to become involved with the fight against Itex and all its subsidiaries. Max doesn't have faith that kids can help, which, of course, causes friction between them and ultimately leads to a split in the group.
The reader is tugged along on a roller coaster ride adventure with Max's constant sarcastic commentary to guide them. We see familiar faces as well as meet brand new players in this deadly game. Max manages to thwart disaster, reconcile the flock, and discover the identity of her parents. James Patterson does a nice job of tying up loose ends and leaves the story with a satisfying ending. If there isn't a fourth installment, fans will be happy with the way Max and the rest of the flock land on their feet.

This is one of the best series that I have ever read. Now, I have read a ton of books, so this in't a light remark. This is the third book in the series and is as good, if not better, than the previous two. Buy it now!!

max and the flock are back and this time they're bigger and better than ever before!
this is one of the best books i have ever read. if you are a harry potter fan and love adventure/fantasy story's this is the perfect book for you.
i have already read the first two books; the angel experiment and schools out forever and both of them were amazing page turners! i couldn't put the books down!
reading this last book has made me seriously feel as if i am max, flying around kicking eraser butt all the time along with saving the world from evil scientists! i also really like the whole emotional side to it that James Patterson has put in.
i definetley reccomend this book to other people and have already told all my friends about it! but to really understand what the story's all about you have to read the first two books.
