Publisher Comments:

Max and the Flock are flying high over Africa, but this time they're not alone. A sky full of cargo planes accompanies the team as they bring much-needed aid to the continent's poverty stricken regions. Among the volunteers is the mission's benefactor--the mysterious billionaire, Dr. Hans Gunther-Hagen. Max is intrigued by his generosity, but there's also something about him--and his intense scrutiny of the Flock--that makes her nervous.

But Dr. Hans isn't the only puzzling thing about their trip. The Flock also receives a cryptic message from a young girl, who tells them, The sky will fall. Max and the Flock are ready to return home, still unable to make sense of her statement. But the surprises don't end with their departure, and something unbelievably momentous shakes up the Flock--pushing Max and Fang closer than ever. Will the team be able to stick together through the chaos?

Synopsis:

On a trip to Africa, Max and her Flock meet a mysterious billionaire whose intense scrutiny of the Flock makes her fear the worst. Then canny birdkid Angel makes a dire prophecy about Max's soul mate: "Fang will be the first to die." Max's desperate desire to protect Fang brings the two closer than ever.

Fang is the sixth installment in the Maximum Ride series. This book was a terrible addition. First of all, the author, James Patterson, cannot revise his writing. Initially, Max, the main character, is portrayed as having blonde hair and blue eyes. Later, it describes her as having brown hair and brown eyes. More importantly, her personality is completely changed from a tough mature teen whose only goal is to keep her family safe to a pathetic, lovesick girl who would like nothing more than to spend the rest of her life alone with her boyfriend, Fang, all to herself. The characters sound like entirely different people than they were in the last books. Even the voice in the writing seems like it was created by another author. Lastly, the book ends with a ridiculous cliffhanger that doesn’t make any sense. The best part of the book was an amusing survey at the back of the book that one of the characters had “filled out.” The actual story part of the book was poorly written and did not have a good plot.
