7. The Rise Of Nine by Pittacus Lore

Until the day I met John Smith, Number Four, I'd been on the run alone, hiding and fighting to stay alive.

Together, we are much more powerful. But it could only last so long before we had to separate to find the others. . . .

I went to Spain to find Seven, and I found even more, including a tenth member of the Garde who escaped from Lorien alive. Ella is younger than the rest of us, but just as brave. Now we're looking for the others--including John.

But so are they.

They caught Number One in Malaysia. Number Two in England. And Number Three in Kenya. They caught me in New York--but I escaped. I am Number Six. They want to finish what they started.

But they'll have to fight us first.

 

 

 

This is the third book in the Lorien Legacies series, books about the survivors of the planet Lorien and their ongoing battle against another alien race out to destroy them, the Mogadorians.

 

The remaining 6 Garde (members of the Lorien race gifted with special powers), with the addition of Number Ten that they didn't know existed, are starting to gather together to prepare for a final battle against the leader of the Mogadorians, Setrakus Ra.

 

I don't want to give too much away, but this is an exciting continuation of the struggles of the Garde to survive and find each other.  After all, they are only their strongest when they are all together.

 

I am so ready for the next book to come out.  I find their story so fascinating.
