About this ebook

Michael, Taylor, Ostin, and the rest of the Electroclan go on their most dangerous mission yet as the thrilling action continues in this electrifying fifth installment of the New York Times bestselling series!

The Electroclan is on the run. The resistance movement has been compromised. The safe house has been destroyed. The voice is in hiding, and they have no idea if their families are alive…or dead.

Meanwhile, the Elgen are on the move. They’ve launched a new assault on the small island nation of Tuvalu. If they are successful, it will be the first domino to fall as part of Hatch’s master plan to take over the rest of the world. But cracks are beginning to appear in the ranks of the Elgen elite, and while Hatch still rules with an iron fist, there are signs of dissent. If the Elgen are beginning to turn against each other, can the Electroclan find an opportunity to use this to their advantage? Or is it just a trap to destroy them once and for all?

The stakes have never been higher, and Michael and his friends are about to be tested in ways they never imagined.

Ratings and reviews

I for the most part enjoyed this series but only on an OK level and nothing more. The reason for that is that the authors formula is always the same. It's capture and escape...over and over and over and over again so by the fifth book we really haven't gone anywhere with the story and it's so boring because you already know what's going to happen. What I do like about the books are the relationships with the characters. What I like most about this book in particular is that the villain really teaches a lesson on what realistic evil powers do to turn a society against itself. It is what is really happening in our world today and I really think our youth could learn from that and hopefully recognize it and change it for the better.

I liked it because it was an important part of the story line, but I enjoy reading Michael Vey when it's more about Michael Vey. Although I always do enjoy seeing Hatch fail and I see more of where the book is going, but I hope there are alot more twist to come.

Read the whole series... Own the second, third, and forth books of the series... Read every single book in the the series in maybe 3 hours each... Loved every minute of reading them... However, all the previous books in this series were better. No offense. This one didn't have as much action and stuff and focused a ton on Hatch and his electric kids. Still loved it though. Good work. Can't wait for number 6.
