Angel: A Maximum Ride Novel is the seventh novel in the Maximum Ride series created by James Patterson. It was released on February 14, 2011.
Max, leader of the genetically-engineered kids known as the Flock, is suffering from depression since her teammate and love interest Fang left. However, she feels drawn to new team member Dylan. Their scientist ally Jeb arrives at the house where the Flock is staying, bringing Dylan's "father," Dr. Gunther-Hagen. They tell Max that she is to be the leader of the new generation of mutants, Gen 77. Dr. Gunther-Hagen also says that Max and Dylan are meant to be mates and rule together, although Max's mother Dr. Martinez shuts down this conversation.
Fang, meanwhile, is busy forming his own group of mutant teens with various powers. One member is Max's formerly villainous clone, now calling herself Maya. There is romantic tension between Fang and Maya.
Dr. Martinez convinces the Flock to visit the Gen-77 kids, but on the way, their plane is attacked and crashes. They narrowly manage to get free and rescue the adults from falling, but in the confusion, Dr. Gunther-Hagen disappears. Max and Dylan grow closer. They discover a school filled with many-eyed sniper children, mutants who claim that they need to kill the humans to improve the world. They become aware of the Doomsday Group, a cult holding rallies at school and leaving people in a strange brainwashed spell chanting about killing humans and the superiority of mutants. Max's half-sister Ella and Flock member Iggy are affected.
The Flock is able to deprogram Iggy. Jeb and Dr. Martinez have vanished, and the Flock reluctantly come to the conclusion that they are involved with the Doomsday Group. In California, Fang's gang struggles, but Fang grows romantically closer to Maya. Fang discovers that the Doomsday Group will be at a convention in San Diego, and calls Max and the Flock for help. The Flock and Fang's gang immediately clash, with Max and Fang especially jealous of each other's new relationships. After seeing the Doomsday Group at the convention, they fly to Paris, where the Doomsday Group is about to blow up the city. The two teams work together to warn people and disarm the bombs. The bombs go off, and afterwards, the youngest Flock member, Angel, is missing and presumed dead. The groups sadly part ways. In the epilogue, Angel is revealed to be alive, in the custody of mysterious scientists who want to experiment on her.

Notorious is a former gang that was based in Sydney, Australia. They claimed to be an outlaw motorcycle club; however, not all members ride motorcycles. A large percentage of its membership consisted of petty criminals, with no real history of bikers among their ranks. Its emblem features a skull with a turban brandishing twin pistols and the words "Original Gangster" beneath it, along with the motto "Only the dead see the end of war". Labeled as one of Australia's most dangerous gangs, they had been feuding with larger and well-known motorcycle gangs including the Hells Angels and the Bandidos. It was thought that as of March 2012 the gang no longer existed as an organised structure after being dismantled by a police operation arresting key members and with other members choosing to quit the gang life. This served to reinforce claims by established MCs that Notorious wasn't a genuine club.
