This series has also been adapted as manga.
The Maximum Ride novels for young adults feature 6 teenagers who are 98% human and 2% avian.
NOTE: James Patterson's author note in the beginning of each books says:
"To the reader:
The idea for Maximum Ride comes from earlier books of mine called When the Wind Blows and The Lake House,
which also feature a character named Max who escapes from a quite
despicable School. Most of the similarities end there. Max and the other
kids in Maximum Ride are NOT the same Max and kids featured in those
two books. Nor do Frannie and Kit play any part in Maximum Ride. I hope
you enjoy the ride anyway."
Fourteen-year-old
Maximum Ride and the other members of the "Flock"--Fang, Iggy, Nudge,
Gasman and Angel--are just like ordinary kids--only they have wings and
can fly. It seems like a dream come true--except that they're being
hunted by half-human, half-wolf "Erasers" who can fly, too.
In
Book 2 of the series, the Flock members are taken under the wing of an
FBI agent and try to live "normal" lives by going to school, making
friends--and continuing their relentless search for their parents. But
the Erasers return, forcing the Flock to abandon their search and make
their escape once again. The voice inside Max's head keeps telling her
that it's up to her to save the world, but this is especially
challenging to do when she is faced with her ultimate match: a newer and
better version of herself, Maximum Ride II. Max's heart-stopping quest
to investigate the mind-blowing mystery of her ultimate destiny
continues in the scariest, strangest, and funniest James Patterson novel
yet.
In MAXIMUM RIDE: SAVING THE WORLD AND OTHER EXTREME SPORTS, the time has arrived for Max and her winged "Flock" to face their ultimate enemy and discover their original purpose: to defeat the takeover of "Re-evolution", a sinister experiment to re-engineer a select population into a scientifically superior master race...and to terminate the rest. Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gasman, and Angel have always worked together to defeat the forces working against them--but can they save the world when they are torn apart, living in hiding and captivity, halfway across the globe from one another?
In this breathtaking new
story from the astonishing imagination of James Patterson, a girl has
to save herself from an army assembled just to capture her -- and maybe
save the planet while she's at it.
Maximum Ride is a perfectly normal teenager who just happens to be able to fly, the result of an out-of-control government experiment.
Max
and the other members of the Flock -- six kids who share her remarkable
ability -- have been asked to aid a group of environmental scientists
studying the causes of global warming. The expedition seems like a
perfect combination of adventure, activism -- and escaping government
forces who watch the Flock like a hawk.
But even in Antarctica,
trapped in the harshest weather on our planet, Maximum Ride is an
irresistible target in constant danger. For whoever controls her powers
could also control the world. Maximum Ride is James Patterson's greatest
character, a heroine who manages to be human and fearless at once.
Maximum Ride and her
faithful friends stand ready to face the two greatest threats that
humankind has ever known--now combining forces in an unbeatable plot to
destroy life as we know it once and for all. And this time, the enemy truly can't be stopped.
The danger mounts just as the boy genetically engineered to be her
"perfect match", Dylan, has finally worked his way into Max's heart--and
just as her beloved Fang unexpectedly returns to the flock. An
explosive confrontation between the two boys with a claim to Max's heart
ensues, and the entire world hangs in the balance.
In this
powerful and moving finale to James Patterson's epic fantasy series,
fans will finally get the answers they've been waiting for--and an
ending full of shock, surprises, and the greatest conclusion you never
saw coming.
