Michael, Taylor, Ostin, and the rest of the Electroclan have destroyed the largest of the Elgen Starxource plants, but now the kids 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 E.S. 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.
Can the Electroclan win the battle of the Ampere? Or has Michael’s luck finally run out?

This is a fun series that my kids have really enjoyed. While I didn’t like this third story quite as well as the first two, I’m interested to see what will happen next.
