Publisher's summary

Michael must save his mother - and protect his powers - in the electric sequel to the number-one New York Times best-selling Michael Vey, from Richard Paul Evans.

Michael was born with special electrical powers - and he’s not the only one. His friend Taylor has them too, and so do other kids around the world. With Michael’s friend Ostin, a techno-genius, they form the Electroclan, an alliance meant to protect them from a powerful group, the growing Order of Elgen, who are out to destroy them. The leader of the Elgen, Dr. Hatch, has kidnapped Michael’s mother, and time is running out.

After narrowly escaping an Elgen trap, Ostin’s discovery of bizarre “rat fires” in South America leads the gang to the jungles of Peru, where the Electroclan meets new, powerful foes and faces their greatest challenge yet as Michael learns the extent of the Elgen’s rise in power - and the truth of their plan to “restructure” the world.

Amazing

This is not the best book in this series. Some people may even say it is the worst of the 6 that are out. I'd agree, but don't let that fool you. I'd read this book over any Harry Potter or Hunger Games. It is packed full of action adventure and comedy. I recommend this book to anyone and everyone, along with all the other books in the series

Love the Book

Would you consider the audio edition of Rise of the Elgen to be better than the print version?

It is better for me because I am able to listen to the book while I am doing other things instead of the radio.

What did you like best about this story?

I like the use of success principles in the book. It is a fiction story but uses very real principles of success that is important in our lives

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I wanted to but was not able to.

Excited for book 3

I enjoyed the book and I’m excited for book 3. The Narration is great.
There was a point where I felt like were were spending too much time in the mind of the bad guys. Some gore I don’t know if I’d want my daughter to read. It picked back up and was a riveting ending.

Micheal getting more electric when he’s about to get eaten by the rats

I liked how they all worked as a team in all the clever escapes. I was also intrigued by the voice.
