[edit] Plot
The publisher provides the following plot synopsis:
Fourteen-year-old Maximum Ride and the other members of "Flock" - Fang, Iggy, Nudge, the Gasman and Angel - are just like ordinary kids. Only they have wings and can fly (they are 98% human and 2% bird). It seems like a dream come true - except that they're still being hunted by new threats at every turn like the Flyboys , which are like Erasers except they are machines. This time, the U.S. government wants to keep the Flock under observation, offering a safe haven and schooling in return. But after their incredible adventures in books 1-3, Max and Flock have grown to love freedom. After all, haven't grown-ups always found a way to ruin their lives? After escaping the control of the feds, they are surprised to find themselves allied with a group of environmental scientists who just might be trustworthy. And besides, what enemy could find them in one of the most remote locations on earth? They're in Antarctica, on an expedition studying the effects of global warming up close. There is just one 'person' who threatens them: The terrible Uber-Director. Literally, brains on a stick-an evil being who has developed mechanical soldiers far more frightening - and deadly - than Erasers. Their quest? To retrieve the Flock and sell them in a global auction for billions of dollars. Will the Uber-Director nab them before Max, Fang and the flock succumb to the dangers of the harsh Antarctic wilderness? And will Max and Fang's personal relationship develop? Only time will find out!
