City of the Dead - (Maximum Ride: Hawk) by James Patterson & Mindy McGinnis

About the Book

Hawk accepts her mother Max's help to prevent vengeful hybrids, amoral scientists, traitorous politicians, and a deadly virus from overwhelming her beloved, polluted city.

Book Synopsis

Hawk, the daughter of Maximum Ride, teams up with her mother to help save their beloved but dangerous city in this action-packed thriller.

For Hawk, being a hero weighs heavily on her wings.

In the City of the Dead, life happens in the shadows. That's why a war is brewing against an enemy no one can see.

Hawk and Maximum Ride never back down from a conflict, or from each other, and they argue more than they agree.

But as the dead begin to outnumber the living, a mother's experience and a daughter's instinct can make for one powerful arsenal.
