Variety reports the series follows six children who have been genetically altered to be a mixture of human and bird. The children escape the lab and are tracked by their scientist creators. The scientist use Erasers (part-human part-wolves) to hunt the kids.
Patterson’s fifth book in the series is set to be released in 2009.
In Daily Variety, Avi Arad stated: "The ‘Maximum Ride’ books use man-made mutation as a metaphor of humans trying to take advantage of human frailty and interfere with nature."
