We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. This particular book is a collaboration focused on Maximum Ride.More info: Maximum Ride is a series of seven young adult science fiction/fantasy books, written by the award-winning American author James Patterson. It is not based on two of his previous books (James Patterson noted that in the very beginning of the Books), When the Wind Blows and The Lake House, though they were inspired by and share some small similarities with those books. The series chronicles the lives of six human/avian fugitives. Bred in a science lab called 'The School', the 'Flock' endured scientific experiments that rendered them 98% human and 2% avian. Through the first three books of the Maximum Ride series, the Flock spends much of their time running from human-lupine hybrids created by the School called 'Erasers'. Book four is mainly about the flock rising against global warming, while Book Five is about saving Dr. Martinez from a man named Mr. Chu, while battling environmental pollution. The reason for the change in style of the books is reportedly because the series is to be made up of two trilogies: The Fugitives (books 1-3) and The Protectors (books 4-7).
