Michael Vey Battle of the Ampere by Evans is the third installment in his young adult series. Separated from his friends and hunted by Elgen guards, Michael discovers Tessa, another of the original 17 kids in a native Amazon village. The villagers assist the two youths in reuniting with Jaime, the Peruvian contact who dropped the kids off at the compound. As the three hike through the jungle, Michael's friends are in far worse circumstances. Arrested by the Peruvian army, they have been branded terrorists by the Peruvian government for destroying the Elgen plant that was supplying power to nearly all of Peru. The team's first attempt at escape fails; but Michael, Tessa, and Jaime set up on the only rode to Cuzco to ambush the military convoy and free Michael's friends. Hatch, meanwhile, has arrested the Elgen board; taken control of the company; and is planning the establishment of an Elgen base in the Pacific. The voice wants Michael to not only rescue his friends, but also blow up the lead ship of the Elgen fleet, the Ampere. After the loss of one of their own in the rescue, the group is fracturing and only five are left to once again face Hatch in another perilous quest to stop his plans of global domination.
Michael Vey Battle of the Ampere is another excellent action packed tale sure to be enjoyed by readers of the previous books in the series. I would recommend it for ages 12 and up.
