They call themselves "the Flock." Raised in a genetics lab and related by bonds deeper than blood, the six of them are strong, fast, and smart. Gasman can mimic any sound or voice. Nudge possesses the gift of language. Fang moves quickly as a dark shadow come to life. Iggy detects threats using keen sensory perception. Angel, the youngest, can read minds. Maximum "Max" the Invincible is their leader, trained to act quickly and decisively.

Together, they've escaped the lab and have been on the run for years. So when Angel is kidnapped, Max knows exactly where her captors have taken her--and why. But a dangerous rescue mission risks breaking their daily promise: I'm not going to die today.
