Maximum Ride Forever by James Patterson is the 9th book in the Maximum Ride series.
The series is about Max and her friends: Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy, and Angel. They were all stolen from their parents at birth to be part of an experiment at the School. Now they are half-human and half-bird… and some of them have special powers. Max is really strong and fast and was chosen to save the world. Fang is really smart and loves Max. Dylan is strong and also loves Max as he was created to be her ‘perfect other half.’ Iggy is blind but can sense everything before the others; he is also really good at cooking. He and Gazzy love explosives. Angel, the youngest and a brother to Angel, can mind read and talk to fish. She has a talking pet dog named Total. Total was also part of the experiment: he can talk and is married to Akila, an unfortunately wingless dog. Nudge is also really talkative but is really good with technology, especially hacking into computers.
In Book 9, Max and her flock of friends (except for Dylan who has mysteriously disappeared) have survived the apocalypse planned by evil scientists. Most of the earth’s population did not survive -- the majority of humans are dead, and only mutants were strong enough to survive the epidemic flu, floods, fires, and destructive storms prepared by the white-coats. The group leave their island and fly to Sydney, Australia, where they break into an office, looking for food. There they are cornered and attacked by Creyenas, strong hairless dogs who scar Nudge’s face and kill Akila. The flock then decides to split up. Fang flies to California to investigate the H-men (mutants) while Iggy and Gazzy search for survivors in Pennsylvania. Angel heads for Russia whereas Nudge, Total, and Max return to the island to find out if Max’s half-sister and mother are alive.
Will Fang discover anything about the H-men? Will Gazzy and Iggy find any survivors? What will Angel do in Russia? Will Nudge, Total, and Max find Max’s family? What has happened to Dylan? Will the flock survive if they are separated?
