To everyone at Meridian High School, Michael Vey seems like an ordinary 14-year-old. He likes waffles and video games, hates homework, and gets bullied at school. But Michael is anything but ordinary. He was born with special electrical powers. When Michael’s best friends, Ostin Liss and cheerleader Taylor Ridley, make an accidental discovery, the trio learns that there are other children with electric powers– and that someone, or something, is hunting them. After Michael’s mother is kidnapped, Michael will have to rely on his wits, powers and friends to combat the powerful Elgen and free his mother.

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 and save Michael’s mother. But what they find waiting for them will change everything. After narrowly defeating an Elgen trap, a mysterious voice leads Michael and his friends to the jungles of Peru in search of Michael’s mother. There the Electroclan discovers that Dr. Hatch and the Elgen have risen in power and one-by-one, entire countries are beginning to fall before them. Only the Electroclan and their anonymous “friend” stand in the way of the Elgen’s brilliant plan for global domination. But is the voice Michael follows truly a friend or just another Elgen trap? And will Michael ever see his mother again? With new Elgen technology and new enemies with horrible powers, the young Electroclan faces its greatest challenge yet.

Battle of The Ampere #3 “Fans of Michael Vey will not be disappointed in this high-octane addition to the series…Chaste romantic scenes and a conspicuous lack of profanity may widen the audience…the relentless pace and constant one-liners should keep the pages turning easily.” —Booklist

In the third book of the electrifying Michael Vey series, Michael and his friends must continue to fight the Elgen and disrupt their plans to rule the world. The kids have destroyed the largest of the Elgen Starxource plants, but now they are scattered across the Amazon jungle. The Elgen have joined forces with the Peruvian army, and only Michael has managed to remain free. With his friends due to stand trial for terrorism—a charge that may carry the death penalty— Michael will need all his wits and his abilities if he’s to save them. Meanwhile, Dr. Hatch and his loyal electric children have seized control of the ES Ampere—the superyacht the Elgen use as their headquarters. With the Elgen fleet under his control, Hatch heads back to Peru to pick up his army and begin his quest for global domination. Michael will have to free his friends, then find a way to stop Hatch, but the organization that has guided him has been compromised. Hatch knows Michael and the Electroclan are coming. And he’s ready.

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?

Michael and the Electroclan have escaped the Elgen Academy, brought down the Elgen’s Peruvian Starxource plant, sunk two of the Elgen’s ships, rescued a little girl from the Elgen in Taiwan, and survived the bombing of their headquarters. And now they’re about to face their greatest challenge yet. Holed up at Christmas Ranch near Zion’s National Park, the Electroclan is presented with a new and dangerous mission: steal the Elgen’s gold supply by taking over their submersible ship the Joule, and rescue their former enemies—Quentin, Torstyn and Tara, who have been locked up by Hatch for treason. The stakes are high, but the dangers are even higher as the Electroclan may be headed into a trap. Only one thing is for sure: this mission is going to test the Electroclan in ways they’ve never been tested before.

The final book in the Michael Vey series opens with the Electroclan facing a devastating loss: Michael is missing. He made the ultimate sacrifice to save his friends and now he’s gone. What is next for them and the revolution?
The battle on the island of Hades ended with a devastating explosion that left the island a smoking ruin and much of Hatch’s army dead. However, Hatch survived and while his plans have certainly suffered a setback, he’s more determined than ever to bring the world’s governments under his control. But first, he wants to wipe out the Resistance and capture the remaining members of the Electroclan.
As Hatch’s forces storm into action, it seems nothing can stand in their way. The Electroclan is divided. The voice is captured, and Michael’s mother is being used as bait to lure the leader of the Resistance out of hiding. Can anything— or anyone—stop the Elgen? Or is this the end?

Praise for the Michael Vey series: “Fast-paced…Evans delivers a pair of believable lead characters—Taylor has wits and personal integrity, while Michael’s Tourette’s syndrome, coupled with an emotional jolt from his past, adds dimension.” —Publishers Weekly “Fans of action-driven adventure and science fiction may find the characterizations to be less important than the gripping pace and the unusual superpowers these teens are just learning to control.” —Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books “Any teen into action, adventure or science fiction will want to make sure Michael Vey is on his or her bookshelf.” —ChicagoExaminer.com
