| In the sequel to Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment, Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gasman, Angel, and Total are still being hunted by Itex, a multi-million dollar company, that owns everything, but you'd never know it unless you look. Erasers (part human, part wolf) are hunting the children like dogs.
In this sequel, the flocks continue off from the institute to find their parents. But when Fang is gravely injured, they're forced to seek help from outside. And outside the flock, anyone could be an Eraser, anyone could be a cold-blooded killer out to capture the children. The winged children, and Total, the dog, are taken into custody by the FBI. They're transported to a ranch in Virginia, to live with Anne, and FBI agent. They're enrolled in school, and have to keep their wings a secret at all times. When Max finds that Fang has a girlfriend, a perfectly normal girl, tension mounts. Fang finding the situation laughable. Fang decodes some of the papers that the flock aquired in New York, and finds Iggys parents. It turns out a disappointment, when they use him for attention and monetary gain. The voice in Max's head(courtesy of the chip in her arm) continues to cause her distress, telling her, that it's up to her to save the world. And discovers a new gift. | ||
