This book is by far the worst novel I have read in years. It is so bad, I felt I had to read it to the end, just in case it improved. The sad fact is it just got worse and worse with every page. I read the so called adult version, so can only imagine how dire the children's version is. In a nut shell this book is an eco rant of the worst kind. There is no science in it, but lots of science fiction. If James Patterson wants to save the planet, he could have helped by not churning out this rubbish and hence saving the need to cut done trees to make the paper for the swill. In point of fact, I would say James Patterson's done a massive disservice to the environmental lobby, with this novel.
Synopsis
Max, Fang, Iggy, Gasman, Nudge and Angel are six extraordinary avian hybrids. The result of a cruel Biotech experiment which manipulated their DNA and turned them into recombinant life forms with wings. This flock has endured a turbulent upbringing and they have been continually faced with evil. Evading capture on a daily basis, they have endured torture and been pushed to the very brink of sanity. Hunted all their lives, they've had to fight life-threatening and belief-defying battles pitting their strength against the fearsome force of their shadowy enemies. But as their predators evolved, their unique ability to fly is no longer enough to save them.With their genes mutating to astonishing affect, the flock establishes a new set of skills to unleash as they strive for survival. But just as they struggle to get to grips with these physical changes, emotionally they face new challenges too: life on the fringe of society can be a lonely existence. Driven to the wastelands of Antartica, each day brings a new threat for the flock. Danger is never far away and while fighting to save their own skin, they have a new mission to undertake - one with devastating global consequences...
