The Garde’s search expands across continents

In this third installment of the I Am Number Four series, the threat to Earth remains tied to the Mogadorians’ pursuit of the Loric survivors. John’s rescue of Nine from a Mog base in West Virginia leads to a new urgency: Sam has been captured, and the Garde must coordinate across several fronts. Six and Seven are fighting the Mogs in Spain while seeking Number Eight in India, setting the group’s reunion against the wider danger facing both Lorien and Earth. The story brings together questions of loyalty, cooperation, and survival within a science-fiction conflict built around alien powers and an endangered home world.

Book overview

The third book of the #1 New York Times bestselling I Am Number Four series!

The Mogadorians who destroyed the planet Lorien continue to hunt for the Garde, the small group of Loric survivors who have taken refuge on Earth. During a dangerous mission at a Mog base in West Virginia, John found and rescued the brutish Nine. But even with their combined powers, special abilities known as Legacies, the pair barely escaped with their lives. And in the process, John's best friend, Sam Goode, was lost and taken captive by the enemy.

In order to save him--and our world--John and Nine must join forces with Six and Seven who have been battling the Mogs in Spain, and who are now trying to locate Number Eight in India. The Garde must come together before it is too late. They are Lorien and Earth's only hope.

Michael Bay, director of Transformers, raved: "Number Four is a hero for this generation." This epic young adult series 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.

The battle for Earth's survival wages on. Read the rest of the series: #4: The Fall of Five, #5: The Revenge of Seven, #6: The Fate of Ten, and #7: United as One.

Don't miss the first book in the brand new I Am Number Four spin-off series: Generation One.
