Michael Vey 7 1 Escaping Hades Former EGG David Welch stood alone on the Joule’s deck as he panned his binoculars over the smoldering prison island of Hades. At least what was left of it. Everywhere he looked was death. What few trees and foliage the Elgen had left on the island were still burning or glowing in heaps of red and orange embers. Around them scorched human skeletons and bones lay strewn across the landscape like straw after a windstorm. The island’s sand, now mostly melted to glass, glistened where streams of morning sunlight broke through the retreating storm clouds, reflecting the vibrant prisms of the color spectrum. Had it not been so terrible, it almost would have been beautiful. On one side of the crystalline beach were the only signs of life—the scurrying Tuvaluan natives who, along with the Electroclan, had survived the Elgen attack and taken shelter in the underground bunker before the explosion. Welch had left the natives water, food, and the Joule’s remaining life rafts to make their journey back to their home islands. Their leader, Enele Saluni, grandson of the former Tuvaluan prime minister (who, at Hatch’s orders, had been sentenced to life on display, naked in a monkey cage in the Tuvaluan capital), saluted Welch from the distance. Welch lowered his binoculars and saluted back. “Everyone’s below,” Jack said, climbing up the conning tower behind Welch. “Everyone’s here.” “Everyone?” “Everyone who made it,” Jack said hoarsely. Welch raised his binoculars one more time and scanned the horizon along the northern end of the island, looking for signs of Elgen. Again he saw nothing of the once terrible force—at least nothing that was still alive. “All right. Let’s get out of here.” Welch followed Jack down the inside of the Joule’s conning tower, pausing on the ladder near the top as hydraulic pistons pulled the hatch closed. Pneumatic clamps hissed and clicked around him as the steel hatch was locked airtight. Then Welch climbed down to join the others in the Conn, the Joule’s control center. “Take us down,” Welch said to the boat’s COB—the chief of the boat—as he stepped from the ladder onto the metal floor. Even though the Joule could travel as much as fifteen knots faster above surface, Welch didn’t want to take the chance of being seen. Outside of the Joule’s crew members who Welch had set adrift, he didn’t know who had survived. He didn’t even know if Hatch had survived. Perhaps no one had. But still, there was no sense in taking chances. “Yes, sir,” the Elgen COB replied, speaking into his microphone. “Down twenty meters.” * * * Including the COB, there were five Elgen still on the Joule and one Fijian servant. Twelve hours earlier, when Welch and his Glows—Quentin, Tara, Torstyn, and Cassy—had hijacked the Joule, they’d disarmed the seventeen-man crew and then sent everyone off the boat, except for the Joule’s COB and the four crew members needed to operate the ship. Welch had also sent J.D., the boat captain who had betrayed the Electroclan by sailing them into a trap, and his crew with the Elgen. “Man, don’t leave me here,” J.D. had said, clinging to the one life raft Welch had left them. “I helped you take this boat.” “You’re lucky I’m leaving you alive,” Welch said. “But don’t get used to it. When Hatch finds out that you helped us hijack the Joule, he’ll feed you to his rats.” “You will all die,” J.D. said. “Like rats.” Welch looked at him stoically. “Everyone dies. Some just sooner than others. And some, one bite at a time.” J.D. looked at Welch hatefully. “I will die as I choose. No one takes my life but me.” Then, letting go of the raft, he sunk down in the black water beneath the heaving waves. He never came up again. “So ends the traitor,” Welch said to himself. Quentin had disabled the raft’s outboard motor and radio with an EMP so the Elgen would not be able to alert anyone for hours, giving Welch and the Glows the time they needed to get back to Hades to rescue their friends. That was, if their friends were still alive. Even thirty miles from Hades, they saw and heard the massive explosion. Welch’s first thought was that Hatch had detonated some kind of nuclear device to destroy the island. But there was no mushroom cloud or, outside of the flash, evidence of a nuclear weapon. They weren’t going to leave the islands until they knew for certain if any of their friends had survived. Hours later, when Welch and company surfaced the Joule off the coast of Hades, they couldn’t believe what they saw. All the Elgen boats were sunk or burning on the surface. They were relieved to find the Electroclan huddled on the beach. Welch and Quentin sailed to shore to pick up their friends, leaving Cassy, Torstyn, and Tara on board to secure the ship. Ten minutes after Welch and Quentin left, one of the Elgen crewmen approached Cassy. “Hey, baby. We’ve been cooped up a long, long time.” “I’m not your baby,” she said. “And don’t take another step.” He kept walking. “What’s a little girl like you going to do to stop a big man like me?” Cassy pursed her lips. “You had to ask.” She froze the man’s entire body, including his lungs. He fell over, dropping to the floor with a loud thud. When she let him go, he gasped for breath, then said, “Please don’t do that again.” “When I tell you to stop walking, you stop walking. Next time you won’t breathe again. Ever. Do you understand?” “Yes, ma’am.” She smiled sardonically. “ ‘Ma’am’? What happened to ‘baby’?” * * * Jack was the last to board, gathering the teens in one corner of the Conn. The room echoed with the sounds of grief—sobbing and crying. Especially from Taylor, who was inconsolable. “Michael,” she said over and over. “My Michael.” McKenna’s arms were around Taylor, the two of them slightly rocking. “I can’t believe he’s gone,” Taylor said. McKenna wiped her eyes. “I can’t believe any of this.” Ostin watched them silently, too emotional to speak. His eyes were red and swollen. “I knew he had a hero’s heart,” Jack said. “I knew it the moment he came to my door to ask me to take him to California.” Just then Cassy walked into the Conn. She glanced around the room, then asked, “Where’s Michael?” From everyone’s silence she knew something bad had happened. She raised her hand to her mouth. “Oh no.” “He didn’t make it,” Quentin said. Cassy started crying. She looked over at Taylor. “I’m so sorry.” Cassy walked over, and the two of them hugged. “I know you cared about him too,” Taylor said. “I . . .” “It’s okay that you loved him too,” she said softly. “He was easy to love.” “Michael’s not the only one we lost,” Ian said. “We lost Gervaso and Tanner, too.” Jack swallowed in pain, fighting back tears. Gervaso had been more of a father to him than his real father. Abigail put her arms around him and comforted him with her powers. “Please don’t,” Jack said. “I want to feel the pain.” Abigail stopped pulsing. “I understand.” Jack furtively wiped his eyes, then looked out at the others. “Gervaso told me that when he was in ranger training, his drill sergeant told them that they were all going to hell. The only consolation was that they’d already been there, so it wouldn’t matter.” He rubbed his eyes. “If there’s a heaven, I think there’s a special pass for heroes.” “I think so too,” Zeus said. “There’s far too few of them as it is.” “Someday we’ll return,” Welch said. “When the world has changed. We’ll build a memorial to the three of them. Then the whole world will know what they’ve sacrificed.” There was something hopeful in what Welch had said. After a few more minutes Welch said, “You must all be exhausted. Get some rest.” He turned to Tara. “Take them to their bunks.” “Yes, sir,” Tara said. “Everyone, follow me.” “Except Cassy,” Welch said. “You stay with me. I need some backup.” “Yes, sir.” The rest of the teens followed Tara, single file, out of the Conn. None of them had ever seen anything like the Joule before, which wasn’t surprising, since the Joule was the only ship of its kind ever built—a hybrid vault, ship, and submarine. It was tight and narrow with no portholes. Air, mostly recycled, was continually pumped throughout the vessel, and filled the echoing chambers with a continual hissing. The walls were all riveted metal, as was the floor, which had been coated with thick rubberized flooring that softened and dulled the sound of their footsteps as they walked. Tara led them down a narrow corridor past the commander’s quarters to the first of two bunk rooms. The compartment was designed solely for sleeping. It was only twelve feet wide, with pipe-framed cots on both sides of the room with trampoline-like mattresses. The cots were connected, by brackets, on one side to the wall, while the other side was supported from the ceiling by chains. The beds were stacked four high, with only a few feet of headroom; the bottom bunks were suspended only three inches above the floor. “This is where we sleep,” Tara said. “It’s tight, but the Joule is basically a submarine. Everything’s tight. Welch wants us all to stay in the same room so we can lock the Elgen crew members in the other.” “I don’t care where I sleep,” Jack said. “As long as I’m horizontal. I feel like I’m sleepwalking.” He took off his shoes and then, using the edges of the lower bunks as steps, climbed up onto the top bunk. Everyone else claimed bunks, except Taylor, who just stood in the middle of the room looking lost. “C’mon, honey,” Abigail said. “You need some rest. You’ll feel a little better after you get some rest.” “Sleep won’t take this away,” Taylor said. “Unless I never wake up.” “I can’t take it away, but I can help. Just lie down right here, sweetie,” Abigail said, pulling down the covers on a bottom bunk. Taylor took off her shoes and crawled out across the cot, lying on her back. “Now just relax,” Abigail said. She put her hands on Taylor’s head and lightly pulsed. At first, Taylor shuddered; then her body calmed and she breathed out deeply. Within moments she was asleep. “You have a beautiful gift,” Tara said softly. “Thank you,” Abigail said. For a moment everyone was quiet and the only sounds were the constant hissing of the Joule’s air system, Jack’s snoring, and the strained, eerie groaning of the vessel. Every now and then the boat creaked like a heavy door on a rusty hinge. “Does that sound ever stop?” McKenna asked. “Probably not,” Ostin said, speaking for the first time since they’d boarded. His voice was raw and strained. The pain in his voice hurt her. “Hey, tell me some facts about submarines.” “Sorry,” Ostin said. “I’m not in the mood.” McKenna frowned. “How deep do you think we are?” Ostin breathed out slowly. “The Joule can dive to six hundred feet.” “What makes that sound?” Ostin sniffed, then said softly, “At six hundred feet the water pressure is 282.6 pounds per square inch. That’s a lot of pressure on a pressurized can.” “I heard that the Elgen carry all their wealth in this boat.” “Not all of it,” Ostin said. “Just enough for a rainy day.” “That would be a lot of rain,” Ian said, suddenly joining the conversation. “There are stacks of gold bullion running two feet high across the length of the boat.” “They’d have to use that much weight as ballast,” Ostin said. “There’s also diamonds and boxes of paper currency. I could open the safes that hold them,” Ian said. “Just for fun.” “That would be fun to see,” McKenna answered. “Maybe someday we’ll share in all that loot.” “Maybe,” Ostin said, sounding not at all interested. Abigail glanced back at McKenna with a sad smile, then climbed onto the bunk above Taylor. An hour later Cassy walked into the bunk room. “Lunch is ready,” she said softly. No one moved. Everyone was asleep. After a few minutes, Cassy went back to the Conn to keep Welch company.

Really, this series has been a bit of a mess for a while now. I used to teach the first Michael Vey book to my 8th graders and it was a huge hit. And it's a credit to Richard Paul Evans that he made Michael such an engaging character that I have stuck through the series to the end. But there are so many things going on in this final book, too many threads, too many characters, too many people that I don't care about and the introduction of some new characters that would have had a bigger impact had their existence been at least alluded to in the prior books. The ending of the book (without spoilers) is frankly just odd. And as other reviewers have noted, characters make some interesting moral choices that are not delved into more seriously. Overall, if you have read the rest of the series, read this one too, for closure, but we deserve better. Michael deserved better.
What a fantastic book to end the Michael Vey series! I know this book series was written for teens, but I have loved reading it along with my teenagers. My daughter and I were able to go to the launch party for this 7th book, where we purchased this book a few days early. We both devoured book 7 within the next 24 hours (since the 6th book left with such a cliffhanger!) We couldn't put it down since we had to find out what happened to Michael Vey! I won't spoil it for you, but I will say this: 1. Dr Hatch only gets to be worse of a bad guy, 2. Everything seems to go from bad to worse for the Electroclan, and 3. The ending is epic and I was very satisfied with how this series ended.Richard Paul Evans has written another best seller! I love that his characters are so relatable. They are real. I love that this series is "clean." I have no problems with even my young teens reading it. I also love that one of the heroes of this series is a boy that has a disability (Tourettes). As the mother of kiddos on the autism spectrum, I want to champion any series that teaches teens that they are awesome in spite of the things that make them different. Great read, great morals, and great end to the series!
After reading the first six, there were so many loose ends, which I loved, but this mess just does t cut it. There were so many potentially good moments that just fell due to how rushed the book felt, everything became so predictable, I was anticipating this, but I honestly wish Evans had taken another hear on it, as many as he needed to make it a masterpiece, there is a reason Rowling 's books got longer for all the character and plot development, which made everything worth the length. I only gave this two stars because the resolution didn't leave anything too much up in the air. Richard Paul Evans if you read this I'd like to ask you to look at this and see where you skipped important information, character details that were rich enough in previous books need to get multiplied and more intricate as you give the reader's things to assume from the characters actions. As I hope that as an author you become fearlessly unsatisfied with this finale.
This series has been an incredible, action packed journey for me. I started the series 7 years ago when the 2nd book had only just come out. Every single year I would keep re-reading the previous books while I waited for September to come and the next book to come out. I'd shared this series with all my friends and I couldn't imagine how amazing the finale would be.But it wasnt.And I really wish it was.The other books had set a certain standard that, while pretty good, was still easily surpassable.SO WHAT WAS WRONG?A lot if I'm honest.Here is the SPOILER FREE take on it.1. Plot wise it was extremely uneven. There were some parts that went waaaaaay to slowly, and the most important parts were totally rushed through. The previous books had generally had good, steady plots and storylines which made you want to finish. That was definitely not the case here.2. The author spent way too much time on introducing insignificant new characters and probably the majority of the chapters on the Tavulu resistance taking back their islands.3. Yes, there are many revelations, most of which came out of nowhere and aside from almost making no sense, had no buildup from the previous books or even the start of this one. If you're going to drop a bombshell on the readers, at least make it look like you're trying.4. I didn't feel Evans did justice to any of the main characters. They didn't have many chapters focused on them, and it didn't even feel like it was THEM. Personality wise, dialogue wise, nothing. I guess it was hard to distribute focus on so many characters (espcially all the members of the electroclan) but no excuse. When I see Torstyn having more lines than Ian, Abigail, maybe even Mckenna... thats not okay.5. This book we didn't get to see almost anyone actually using their power. It was so cool in the other books how they used their power and fought. Another reason why the book was way less exciting.5. Usually the sciency parts of this series can kinda sort of make sense if you really try....NOT in this book. Simply put, nothing made sense.5. I wasn't so satisfied with the conclusion, I had so many questions left unanswered.**********SPOILER VERSION DOWN BELOW************For all those who have read books one through six and you just want to see it end, it will at least give you closure. Not much, though. Since my bitter disappointment with Blood of Olympus which ended the percy jackson series (and along with it my respect for the author ) I've seen too many series finales falling dramatically short on every level and expectation. This will probably be the only Vey book I won't reread and I'm fine with that.********************SPOILERS************************(or for people who have now been convinced not to read the series and just want to know what happens. Thats good too.)1. for the life of me I will never understand why all the main action of the ENTIRE BOOK happened between page 290 and 299. Or close to that. SERIOUSLY? I bought the book for 9 pages of semi enjoyable reading. That is not okay.2. Biggest mistake was waiting till the end of the book to bring back Michael. He was one of my favorite characters and he gets less than a chapters worth of appearance. AND THE SERIES IS NAMED AFTER HIM.3. Michael didn't even act like michael. He sounded way too smart and had none of the sass we'd seen in the rest of the series. Michael had had such a good character arc and it was really great watching him grow throughout the series. And all that great characterization seems like it disappeared. That being said, most of the characters didn't act like themselves. Hatch's glows like Quention and Tara seemed to have transformed over night into good people. Yeah, so hatch betrayed them and all that, but they were still selfish, jaded, spoiled, violent teenagers. Cassy doesn't sound like cheeky, confident Cassy at all, not once. And all the other Glows barely had any dialogue4. When everyone sees Michael alive they're all like "hey what's up, we knew you really weren't dead" I'm referring specifically to Taylor and Ostin and honestly everyone else. Only his mother cried and reacted at all.5. No reason that made actual sense why michael survived, and it did't elaberate how it changed him at all. He got all this new power and weird abilities and the book just blips over that.6. Carl Vey. No buildup from the other books and a false alarm in book #5 = really unnecessary bad reveal. And, wasn't Michael's Mom interested in that other guy from the resitance. And it never mentions in the epilogue how it is to have his father back in his life or anything about his parents relationship now. Big miss out.7. This new glow Zara was completely unrealistic, and thats saying something for a sci-fi book. Her powers were way to powerful and unbelievable, and it didnt expain HOW it was possible for her to do that like it did with the other glows. Also, if Hatch had had her all this time, he wouldve used her a million times ago to defeat the Electroclan. She also had no backstory and what was she even doing this whole time and where was she. And did she die at the end? I couldn't tell8. Hatch's death was way too uneventful. he was an evil man who killed millions and he just gets vaporized?!?8. So apparently they just moved back to meridian after being missing and some presumed dead for who knows how long and no one bats an eye, no one calls the cops. They just went back to school?!9. ********IMPORTANT ONE******** THEY NEVER EXPLAINED WHY ONLY THOSE 17 KIDS SURVIVED AND NO ONE ELSE AND THEY LITERALLY WERE BUILDING UP TO THAT FROM BOOK ONE AND ON. I waited 7 years to hear an answer I'd never get.10. hated the epilogue. None of them sounded like themselves and it seemed too perfect and made no sense11. what happened to the elgen? Really, i wouldnt even have minded if Michael narrated what happened after the last battle in story form like many books do. At least I could've been satistfied with the ending a bit more.I probably could harp on this book a lot more but for now its enough. Definitely the worst book out of all of them and I still feel left hanging
I had read the first six books and was looking forward to the conclusion of the series. Perhaps I had built it up in my head a bit too much, but the 7th and last book seemed a bit formulaic. I kept waiting for the "twist" or unexpected tangent that seemed to come with the other books, but was not here in this one. The author seemed to be "wrapping it up" and taking care of the loose ends, which may be all some people wanted. A conclusion to the journey. I have enjoyed the series and would recommend the series. They are a great read. Lots of action and adventure across the globe. There are lessons of loyalty, courage, and self sacrifice to be learned in the series that seems to be missing in other books, and is certainly missing in TV shows and movies today.
