Abbiamo poteri che voi non riuscite nemmeno a immaginare. Siamo più forti, più veloci e più abili di qualsiasi essere vivente del vostro pianeta. Avete presente i supereroi dei fumetti e dei film? Una cosa del genere, ma noi siamo reali.

"Abbiamo perso una battaglia. Ma vinceremo la guerra." «Eravamo sicuri di vincere, e invece abbiamo rischiato di perdere tutto. Perché non eravamo pronti. Dal giorno del nostro arrivo sulla Terra, siamo rimasti nascosti, lontani gli uni dagli altri, in attesa di sviluppare i nostri poteri. Adesso ci siamo riuniti, ma uno di noi manca ancora all’appello: il Numero Cinque. Non sappiamo chi sia né dove si trovi, tuttavia una cosa è certa: ha bisogno di noi. Perché loro hanno preso il Numero Uno in Malesia. Il Numero Due in Inghilterra. Il Numero Tre in Kenya. E li hanno uccisi. Io sono il Numero Quattro. Sono il prossimo della lista, ma i nostri nemici non oseranno darmi la caccia ora che non sono più solo. Perciò dobbiamo trovare il Numero Cinque. Prima che lo facciano loro. Senza di lui, non abbiamo nessuna speranza. Con lui, saremo imbattibili. Abbiamo perso una battaglia. Ma vinceremo la guerra…»
The fifth book in the New York Times bestselling I Am Number Four series! The Garde have suffered an unbearable loss. Number Five has betrayed them. Eight is gone forever. Ella has been kidnapped. The others are now scattered. In Chicago, John makes the unlikeliest of allies: Adam, a Mogadorian who turned his back on his people. He has invaluable information about Mog technology, battle strategies, and weaknesses. Most important, he knows where to hit them: their command base near Washington, DC. During the assault, however, John learns the unimaginable truth: it is too late. The Mogadorians have commenced their ultimate invasion plans. With a front-row seat to the impending invasion, Ella finds herself in the hands of the enemy. For some reason, she's more valuable to them alive, and they'll stop at nothing to turn her. Meanwhile, Six, Nine, and Marina make their way through the Florida Everglades, hot on the trail of the traitorous Five. With the development of a new Legacy, Marina finally has the power to fight back—if her thirst for revenge doesn't consume her first. The Garde are broken and divided once again, but they will not be defeated. As long as one still stands, the battle for Earth's survival is not lost.
The sixth and penultimate book in the New York Times bestselling I Am Number Four series! For years the Garde have fought the Mogadorians in secret. Now all of that has changed. The invasion has begun. John is on the front lines of the fight in New York City. And just as the odds seem stacked against him, his best friend, Sam, a human, inexplicably develops a Legacy—and Sam isn't the only one. While the pair try to track down Five and Nine amid the chaos, they encounter another teen who can wield abilities that were once only meant for the Garde. Whether she is a friend or a foe, however, remains to be seen. Meanwhile, Six, Marina, and Adam are trapped in Mexico. They fought their way into the Sanctuary and were able to awaken the power hidden within, but their preceding battle has left them without any way to reach the others. The Mogs are returning in full force, and it will take a miracle to escape. The Garde are stretched thin, fighting this war on many fronts. The only chance they have is to take out the Mogadorian leader once and for all—but his fate is now irrevocably tied with Ella's. They can't destroy one without the other. But if the Garde can't find another way to stop the Mogs, humanity will suffer the same fate as the Loric: annihilation.
The seventh and final installment in the bestselling I Am Number Four series delivers a breathtaking conclusion to the Garde’s saga. As the Mogadorians invade Earth, the Garde must find a way to end the conflict. Partnering with the US military, they realize they need an army of their own. Reinforcements come from an unexpected source: teenagers worldwide, like John Smith’s best friend, Sam, who have developed unique abilities. John and his allies must reach these gifted teens before the Mogadorians do, or risk their enemies exploiting them for a sinister agenda. With everything taken from him—his home, family, friends, and the one he loves—John grapples with the decision to put more lives at risk. He discovers a powerful new Legacy that could transform him into the ultimate weapon. Faced with the choice to save the world or rely on the strength of unity, John must confront his own limits. This epic young adult series is a must-read for fans of action-packed science fiction, comparable to The Fifth Wave, The Maze Runner, and Ender’s Game. Don’t miss the first book in the new spin-off series, Generation One.
