“When you have lost hope, you have lost everything. And when you think all is lost, when all is dire and bleak, there is always hope.”

Survival Of A Species The Lorien race is a race much older than Earth’s human race is. They had long ago reached the ecological tipping point that the Earth now approaches, and had seen the changes that needed to be made to save their planet.

Aliens and their Guardians are hiding on Earth from intergalactic bounty hunters. They can only be killed in numerical order, and Number Four is next on the list. This is his story. Extraordinary teen John Smith (Pettyfer) is a fugitive on the run from ruthless enemies sent to destroy him.

Henri is killed, but before dying exhorts John to read a letter he left for him. John survives, though he is very weak, and the Mogadorians are defeated. Promising to return for Sarah, John leaves Paradise, along with Number Six, Sam, and Bernie Kosar.

I Am Number Four, The Power of Six, The Rise of Nine, The Fall of Five, The Revenge of Seven, The Fate of Ten. The first six novels in the New York Times bestselling Lorien Legacies series are included in this collection: I Am Number Four: The book that started it all . . . Nine of us came here.
