Maximum Ride is a perfectly normal teenager who just happens to be able to fly, the result of an out-of-control genetic experiment. Max and the other members of the flock–five kids who share her remarkable ability–have been asked to aid a group of environmental scientists studying the effects of global warming. The expedition seems like a perfect combination of adventure, activism–and escape from the government forces that are watching the flock all the time.
But even in Antarctica, enduring the harshest weather on our planet, Maximum Ride is an irresistible target in constant danger. For whoever controls her powers could also control the world. . . .
Maximum Ride is James Patterson’s greatest character, a heroine who manages to be human and fearless at once. THE FINAL WARNING is an unrelenting new adventure from the writer Time magazine has called “the man who can’t miss.”

Justine Eyre gives a wonderful reading of the fourth book in Patterson's series featuring a band of winged children on the run, although the book itself is a weak link in an otherwise entertaining series. THE FINAL WARNING lacks the strong stories of the previous three novels and overly dwells on the threat of global warming. At times, the book comes off as more of a public service announcement than an adventure. But Canadian actress Justine Eyre sets the story to flight with her clean, fast-paced reading. Her youthful energy and clear intonation help the listener believe that the six mutant children are real, and that they can fly. S.E.S. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
