Maximum Ride Illustrated Edition

This new incarnation of the multi-million copy-selling Maximum Ride series is the perfect way to introduce the blockbuster adventures of a heroic flock of winged kids to a new generation of readers. The eight-book series has been abridged to four volumes containing the series' key stories--this volume contains the full story of Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports--and features a full chapter of new material that bridges this story and The Angel Experiment. Each edition is enhanced with a selection of cinematic full-page art that brings the heart-stopping action alive in a whole new way. In the next volume of the essential collection, 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. Now the Flock members are faced with a new enemy: robots called Flyboys who are prepared to hunt them to the ends of the earth. The last thing Max wants is to keep running for her life, but she has to, taking the Flock across the country. There, they meet the sinister scientist Ter-Borsht, who tells them about the most frightening human experiment they can imagine: a kind of ethnic cleansing of the entire planet. It's the second installment of an epic tale that races, rocks and rolls toward an astouding apocalyptic event in Nevermore--and a surprise, brand-new grand finale to be released in Fall 2015!
