Blurb:
Until the day I met John Smith, Number Four, I'd been on the run alone, hiding and fighting to stay alive.
Together, we are much more powerful. But it could only last so long before we had to separate to find the others. . . .
I went to Spain to find Seven, and I found even more, including a tenth member of the Garde who escaped from Lorien alive. Ella is younger than the rest of us, but just as brave. Now we're looking for the others--including John.
But so are they.
They caught Number One in Malaysia. Number Two in England. And Number Three in Kenya. They caught me in New York--but I escaped. I am Number Six. They want to finish what they started.
But they'll have to fight us first.

In A Nutshell: Awesome, awesome, awesome!
My Review:
The Rise of Nine was truly awesome. Four and Six are back,
each accompanied by the new Garde members they tracked down in The Power of
Six. There is no rest for the wicked as Six, Marina, Ella and Crayton travel to
India in search of Number Eight and encounter rebel fighters in India.
Meanwhile, Four and Nine travel across the US, hiding from new enemies and trying
to find a way to contact the rest of the Garde.
In the third adrenaline-filled instalment of the Lorien
Legacies, the Garde are frustrated to discover that the US Government has stupidly
joined forces with the Mogadorians. As lives are lost and new legacies are discovered,
the Lorien Garde finally starts to come together, just in time to face the head
of the Mogadorians, Setrakus Ra.
New characters, new gadgets, new legacies, new challenges –
this series just gets better and better. Book four, rumoured to be titled The
Return of Lorien and to be released in August 2013, cannot come soon enough. If
it is anything like The Rise of Nine, it will be mind-blowing!
