The Final Warning: A Maximum Ride Novel (Book 4) by James Patterson


FIRST SHE WAS WATCHED. 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. THEN SHE WAS THREATENED. Maximum Ride is a perfectly normal teenager who just happens to be able to fly, the result of an out-of-control genetic experiment. Max and the other members of the flock - five kids who share her remarkable ability - have been asked to aid a group of environmental scientists studying the effects of global warming. The expedition seems like a perfect combination of adventure, activism - and escaping government forces who are watching the flock all the time. THIS IS HER FINAL WARNING. But even in Antarctica, enduring 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. The Final Warning is an unrelenting new adventure from the writer Time magazine has called "The Man Who Can't Miss."

 

Book 4 of 9 This one was kind of a letdown because it was so much more focused on global warming than action. This was a much smaller story than his others and it seemed like it was more of a PSA for politics and environmental issues which made that story line much more in the readers face. It reads too much like filler, as if he didn't know where the story was supposed to go but was under contract to get a book published so he pulled out some Al Gore videos and just used those to throw this book together.
