"Maximum Ride's past--her whole life--is shrouded in mystery. She remembers the School, where she received wings and the ability to fly. She knows she must protect her Flock--Fang, Nudge, Iggy, Gazzy and Angel--as if they were family. And thanks to a mysterious voice in her head, she is aware she is fated to one day save the world. That day may come sooner than anyone could have foreseen. Itex--the corporation behind everything that has happened to Max--is preparing the next stage of its plan. And to clear the way, it is destroying its failed experiments--beginning with the monstrous hunters known as Erasers. Then will come the Flock. And after that? Itex's target will be truly terrifying. Earth's best hope is Max Ride. But will she fly free at last--or will the Flock's wings be clipped once and for all?"--Provided by publisher.
