Michael Vey 6: Fall of Hades [Paperback]

Michael and his friends try to recruit Hatch’s Electric Youth to their side as the thrilling action continues in this electrifying sixth installment of theNew York Timesbestselling series!

Michael and the Electroclan are about to embark on their deadliest mission yet. Some of them may not make it back.

The head of the resistance, known only as the voice, believes that the best way to wipe out the Elgen is to steal their money. That means capturing theJoule, the Elgen boat that serves as a floating treasury. To do this, Michael and his friends need help…a lot of help.

They’ve learned about a highly placed member of the Elite Elgen Guard named Welch, who wants to defect. They also know that Hatch has condemned three of his electric youth to death. If the Electroclan can get to Welch before the Elgen do, and if they can rescue Quentin, Torstyn, and Tara, they just might be able to steal theJoule. But it’s a big “if”…

The stakes have never been higher, and Michael and his friends are about to be tested in ways they never imagined.Michael Vey 6


When I was just eight years old, a few months after my father died, I was going through a box of his things when I found a wooden plaque engraved with these words:

Be ashamed to die until you have

won some victory for humanity.

—Horace Mann

At the time the plaque didn’t mean much to me—other than that it had belonged to my father—but it must have meant something because I never forgot its message. Lately I’ve found myself thinking about it a lot. Maybe because it’s now my reality. You could say that I’m fighting a battle for humanity. Of course I could die and not win any victory, but I think that’s got to be worth something too.
