Description
The second book of the #1 New York Times bestselling I Am Number Four series!
In the beginning, nine aliens left their home planet Lorien when it fell under attack by the evil Mogadorians. They scattered on Earth and went into hiding. They look like ordinary teenagers but have extraordinary powers. The Mogs have come for them. They killed Number One in Malaysia, Number Two in England, and Number Three in Kenya. They tried to get John Smith, Number Four, in Ohio--but they failed.
Now John has joined forces with Number Six, and they are on the run. But they are not alone. Already John and Six have inspired Marina, Number Seven, who has been hiding in Spain. She's been following the news of what's happening, and she's certain this is the sign she's been waiting for. It's time to come together.
Michael Bay, director of Transformers, raved: "Number Four is a hero for this generation." This epic story is perfect for fans of action-packed science fiction like The Fifth Wave series by Rick Yancey, The Maze Runner series by James Dashner, and Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game.

Back cover copy
I've seen him on the news. Followed the stories about what happened in Ohio. John Smith, out there, on the run. To the world, he's a mystery. But to me . . . he's one of us.
Nine of us came here, but sometimes I wonder if time has changed us--if we all still believe in our mission. How can I know? There are six of us left. We're hiding, blending in, avoiding contact with one another . . . but our Legacies are developing, and soon we'll be equipped to fight. Is John Number Four, and is his appearance the sign I've been waiting for? And what about Number Five and Six? Could one of them be the raven-haired girl with the stormy eyes from my dreams? The girl with powers that are beyond anything I could ever imagine? The girl who may be strong enough to bring the six of us together?
They caught Number One in Malaysia.
Number Two in England.
And Number Three in Kenya.
They tried to catch Number Four in Ohio--and failed.
I am Number Seven. One of six still alive.
And I'm ready to fight.

Our customer reviews
The Power of Six is the second book of the Lorien Legacies and follows the story exactly where I Am Number Four left us, with Four, Six and Sam escaping. Basically it's just them escaping and trying not to get caught by the police or the Mogadorians, while they discover more about their past and powers.
But this time it's not only Four the protagonist, but also Seven. She has a totally different life, but she's sure John Smith is one of them...the problem is convincing her cepan. Her only choice might be escaping before the Mogadorians find her...but what if other allies found her?
I really enjoyed reading Seven (Marina). Her life was much more interesting, or maybe I thought so because the only thing Four, Six and Sam where doing was running and getting caught in a love triangle-quartet that didn't seem to be important for the story and bored me.
But I still liked to discover more about Lorien, their past, their powers, Sam's father and even number Ten. It was a book full of action, fast paced, and the ending left me kind of surprised in a good way and wanting to read The Rise of Nine soon.show more

This is the sequel to the best selling novel called I Am Number Four, and I have reviewed it here on my blog. If you've read the first book and didn't like it as much, you should read this one, because it's even better than the first book!
This one pretty much start's where the previous one ended and I thought we didn't get to read more from John's perspective, but I was wrong, we get to read from his view and Marina's (Number Seven) perspective. I loved the new character Marina and she's such a beautiful character. We get introduced to more characters as well as Ella, and some more. I fell in love with Marina's abilities and if I was one of the nine I would want to have her powers.
The Author has improved a lot and there's a lot of twists and turn's that'll make you turn the pages quicker than you'd expect. The romance in this book takes to new height's as well and I think he's built a lot of connection between the characters and I have personally fell even more in love with them.
He's not forgotten to put action sequences either they're all the way through the book. This book is yet another trill ride, where you'll smile, laugh, cry, get shocked and over Happy. I can't wait until August for the release of the next novel in this series!
This book and series is definitely recommended and Pittacus Delivers all the way through. This book has everything from Love & Romance to Blood & Vengeance.
