James Patterson
I feel like I'm going to HURL. Which, even if I wanted to do, I couldn't do, because I haven't eaten. I can't even drag myself out of my room. And while I'd be able to muster the strength to roundhouse Fang until he begged for MERCY, I'de be mush around an Eraser.
James Patterson
I'm gonna barf, I whispered to Fang,wiping my sweaty hands on my jeans. You'll be fine, he whipered back. You always are. I'm gonna die, I moaned. You can't die, he said a hint of a smile in his voice.You're the indesructible Max.
James Patterson
I whirled around and saw no one. No psychotic mad scientists, anyway. Jackpot, Max! Jackpot! It was was Fang, and he was giggling hysterically. For those of you just joining us, Fang doesn't giggle. Especially hysterically. So for a second, this seemed like one of the weirder dreams of recent days.

James Patterson
Gazzy: Captain, like the captain of a ship. And then Terror, you know, T-E-R-O-R.
James Patterson
guess they forgot to program us with any respect for authority. well, I have a highly developed sense of irony.
James Patterson
Why, the little Voice inside my head, of course. You mean you don't have one? I did.
James Patterson
He gives my hand a tight squeeze, but that desperation, that urgency between us is gone. No insecurities. Max and Fang. Fang and Max. No longer a question. We just are.
James Patterson
The hardest mysteries to solve are the ones you come to near the end, because there isn't enough evidence, not enough to unravel, unless somehow you can go all the way back to the beginning - rewind and replay everything.
James Patterson
Home is wherever we all are together.
James Patterson
Listen up,” I said urgently. “It’s time to round up your gear. I’m gonna check in with Patrick, and then we’re getting the flock out of here.” Ha-ha.
James Patterson
I looked around. As flock leader, everyone was expecting me to make a decision. Jeb's presence here would bring uncertainty, chaos, probably danger. It would perk up my day.
James Patterson
I blame Jeb for letting you be such a smart aleck.” I stared at her. “I blame you for altering my DNA! I mean, I have wings, lady! What were you thinking?
James Patterson
In a manner of speaking. As we intend for you to found a dynasty. And that dynasty will rule society until it has progressed enough to- Overthrow the dynasty in a revolutionary, blood filled coup! Iggy said eagerly. We all looked at him. Just saying. He sheepishly took a bite of cookie.
James Patterson
I gave him a kick and he stepped back onto the third rail. Exploding, flaming eraser! This is why moms tell you to stay away from the third rail, but it sure came in handy this time.
