Eliza Whittle and her dog seem to have finally escaped the madman on their trail, and the world is once again their oyster. London is far behind them, and the North calls with unfinished business of its own for Eliza. Her brother, damaged and estranged, hasn't seen her in years, and now feels like the right time to reconnect with him. But the wicked never rest, as long as they have bullets in their guns and a despicably weird scheme for genetic experimentation lurking in the wings (no pun intended). Dr. Magnus Reynolds is not a man easily spooked, and neither is his newest accomplice, nineteen-year-old Edgar, fresh out of boarding school and into Reynolds's criminal underworld. Watching her own back has always been the case for Eliza -- but what about Ava? While this was meant as a sequel to mine and @amaryll28's story Nowhere Is Final, it was primarily written as a bit of a laugh, so please don't take it too seriously, because I sure as hell didn't! The title, in case anyone picked up on it, is a play on James Patterson's first Maximum Ride story, The Angel Experiment -- for no better than because I thought the idea of arbitrarily bird-winged creatures and pointlessly evil scientists was (somewhat) apt and (somewhat) hilarious. I know, I know, I have a horrendous sense of humour... But that said, read on and enjoy!
