So, obviously, for all of us Maximum Ride fans out there, we only have a little less than a month to wait for the next book!!!! Of course, I have already mentioned this a few months ago, but guess what I found now? An excerpt from the story itself!

Here is the link to the first eight chapters. http://www.jamespatterson.com/books_maximumRideSeven.php#excerpts

We learn a lot of interesting new facts in this book, especially about Dylan and more of Max’s purpose. There is even a new generation of mutant kids! I don’t want to give everything away, though, so as always….

Happy reading! Hope you enjoy it!!! Come back and comment about it. What do you think about it all? And don’t forget – James Patterson’s new book comes out Valentine’s Day!

Til then, again, happy reading! :)

James Patterson is a really busy guy. He’s writing a whole bunch of books from several different series all at the same time right now. My favorite of his series though is Maximum Ride. Fang, book six of the Max Ride series, was just recently released. I bought it the day it came out and read it in three hours… yeah, i was excited. Now I’m waiting for book 7! It’s a good thing he can keep these books coming, about one per year, so I don’t have to wait forever. :)

So far, Patterson is planning on Angel as the title of this book. (I wanted it to be called Iggy.) Not a whole lot is known about this book besides a general summary of the plot:

“In the seventh book in the bestselling series, evil scientists are still trying to convince Max that she needs to save the world, this time by providing the genetic link in speeding up the pace of evolution. Worse, they’re trying to convince her that her perfect mate is Dylan, the newest addition to the flock. The problem is that, despite herself, Max is starting to believe it. Fang travels the country collecting his own gang of evolved humans, but the two separate flocks must unite to defeat a frightening doomsday cult whose motto is Save the Planet: Kill the Humans. And this time, the true heroine, for once, might just be little Angel.”

(Just so you know, this is the work of James Patterson. I’m not meaning to plagerise or anything.) :)

Also, Angel is currently planned on being released February 14, 2011 (Valentine’s Day… sorta weird) in hardcover and one month later, March 14, in paperback.

I can’t wait! I hope we hear from Fang is that book though. It sounds like we will. I still don’t think he’ll be gone for long. And what about Dylan? How can Max start liking him? Of all people…or mutant bird kids… really… Fang is just awesome! :)

So, Max Ride fans (and if you’re not a fan because you haven’t ever read the books, check them out and read them), what do you think about book 7? Leave a comment and let me know! :)

Fang, book six of the Maximum Ride series was just recently released on March 15. I bought it the day it came out and read it that night! :) I enjoyed it and can’t wait for book 7! (For info, see Max Ride book 7.) If you haven’t read it yet, don’t read any more of this post… spoiler alert!

For those of you who have, what did you think about it? What about Dylan?  He wasn’t at all what I thought he would be like. I also can’t believe Fang actually died… but I am glad he’s alive again. :) Then again I can’t believe he actually left! :( I don’t think he’ll be gone for long though, especially not twenty years. And what about Angel and how she left to join that crazy Dr.?

Anyway…. what do you think?

One of my newest favorite series is Maximum Ride by James Patterson. If you are not familiar with the series, it’s the story of six “bird-kids” who were created to save the world! But I don’t want to spoil it for you, so you’ll have to read the books. :) So far, there are five books in the series, but not for long….. Number Six is coming out March 15! Only a month and a half away!

I am among many Max Ride fans who can’t wait for this new book, especially because on the cover of the book it says…..

“Angel says Fang will be the first to die. Angel is never wrong….”

And this is what it reads on the back of the book:

FANG WILL BE THE FIRST TO DIE.

For years, Max has been desperately on the run from evil forces trying to prevent her from her destiny to save the world–but nothing has ever rocked her world like this horrifying prophetic message. Fang is Max’s best friend, her soul mate, her partner in leading her flock of winged children. A life without Fang is a life unimaginable.

Max’s desperate desire to protect Fang brings the two closer than ever. But their world is turned upside-down yet again when another winged boy, the beautiful Dylan, is introduced to the flock. Raised in a lab, like the flock, he exists for only one reason: He was created to be Max’s perfect other half.

Now a battle of science against soul and perfection versus passion unfolds, twists, and turns…and meanwhile, the apocalypse is coming.

AND THE ENDING WILL SHOCK YOU.
