The Power of Six

A Backgrounder on the first book, "I Am Number Four"

When the Mogadorians attacked planet Lorien, nine children were saved and brought to Earth for safety.  These are the nine Gardes tasked to save Lorien from extinction.  The Gardes scattered all throughout the Earth to escape the Mogadorians, their arch enemies determined to kill all of them.  Their only protection is the Lorien charm, which only allows them to be killed according to their number; and their legacies, supernatural abilities that each one possesses.

A sequel to "I Am Number Four", "The Power of Six" details the powers Six, the sixth of the Nine Gardes tasked to save planet Lorien from extinction.  She is faster than the speed of light, has the ability to control the weather, can manipulate water, and has the legacy of invisibility.  The way she was described in the book, she seems to be a very beautiful young lady with a toughness that can rival that of a man's.  Quite a bad-ass but cool lady, actually!

Spoiler:  The book also reveals the identity of a 10th Garde.

The story is action-packed with plenty of fully-loaded, heart-stopping fight scenes.  Actually, it's a book meant for teens but the young-at-hearts can enjoy as well.  Can't wait for the movie!   I hope they do much justice this time as I was a bit disappointed with the interpretation of the first book.
