About this ebook

Michael must save his mother—and protect his powers—in the electric sequel to the #1 New York Times bestselling Michael Vey, from Richard Paul Evans.

I rolled over to my back, struggling for breath. The pain continued to pulse through my body—a heavy throb followed by a sharp, crisp sting.
The man said, “Trust me, there are worse things in this world than Cell 25.”

Michael, Taylor, Ostin, and the rest of the Electroclan have escaped from the Elgen Academy in Pasadena and are headed back to Idaho to plan their next move. But what’s waiting for them there will change everything.

After using their wits and powers to narrowly escape an Elgen trap, a mysterious voice leads the Electroclan to the jungles of Peru in search of Michael’s mother. Once there, they discover that Dr. Hatch and the Elgen are far more powerful than anyone realizes; entire countries have begun to fall under their control. Only the Electroclan and an anonymous voice now stand in the way of the Elgen’s plan for global domination.

But is the voice that Michael is following really an ally, or is it just another Elgen trap?

Ratings and reviews

The first book is two notches above awesome. Rise Of The Elgen flips a car over awesome, electrocutes it, and takes another level to a whole other level. This is going to be one of the biggest selling books of all time. Get it before the movies come out.

Imagine having super power at birth only by generating lots of electricity from your body but finding only ten more who is just like you its just too much fun to read

I now have my wife and 11 yr old son reading the first book so they can get to this one! Can't wait for the 3rd!
