Number Four is a hero for this generation

Pittacus Lore is Lorien's ruling elder. He has been on Earth preparing for the war that will decide Earth's fate. His whereabouts are unknown.

It's a year since John Smith and the Lorien Garde helped defeat the Mogadorian invasion of Earth. 
 
Now all over the planet teenagers are developing new powers - new Legacies. 
 
But this terrifies everyone else. Those with Legacies are forced to register themselves. They are cast out of families. Hunted down. Murdered. 
 
So the Garde create an Academy. A place where the gifted may come and learn in safety. They will be trained to use their powers to help protect humankind. 
 
But some of them believe there's a better use of their talents. They have other plans. And they don't care who dies in order to bring them about . . .

The Loric didn't make us monsters and they didn't make us heroes. We choose what happens next. 
 
Taylor Cook thought of the invasion as just a bad dream. It had ended over a year ago, and none of the fighting happened anywhere near her small town.

Now Taylor is being sent off to the Human Garde Academy. A place where teens from across the globe can learn to control their new powers and discover what they are truly capable of. There they will be trained by the Loric - the very same people who helped win the war and who are also responsible for unleashing the Legacies on the planet. 
 
As part of this new generation of Garde, Taylor and the others will one day be able to use their gifts to protect mankind. But not everyone thinks that's the best use for their talents. There are people who have different plans for the students and who will stop at nothing to get what they want.

I Am Number Four: The Lost Files: The Fugitive

The Fugitive follows Mark James as he tries to track down Sarah Hart, evade the Mogadorians and the FBI, and discover the identity of the mysterious blogger he knows only as GUARD.

I Am Number Four: The Lost Files: The Navigator

The Navigator reveals the truth about the crew of the two Loric spaceships who escaped to Earth and shows what happened to the pilots after they arrived and parted ways with the Garde.

Meet Lexa, a Loric hacker whose unrivaled skills helped her narrowly escape her doomed planet, and who's been hiding on Earth ever since. 
 
Lexa was never part of the Elders' plan. She had no idea the Garde children were being evacuated to our planet. But when the Mogadorian attack began, she used her expertise to get an old spaceship in a museum operational once more and became irrevocably entwined with the Garde's fate. In addition to her friend, a pack of Chimæra, and a Cêpan named Crayton, her relic of a ship also carried Ella, the tenth Garde. 
 
With all of their Cêpans now gone, the Garde think they are the last of the Loric people. But they are wrong. They have forgotten all about the crew that brought them to Earth. Where have the pilots for both ships been all these years? And why haven't they joined in the fight against the Mogs? In The Navigator, discover the truth behind their escape from Lorien and what happened to them after they arrived on our planet.

I Am Number Four: The Lost Files: The Guard

The Guard tells the story of the hacker who has been aiding the Lorien survivors from the shadows for years. She's determined to defeat the Mogs-and she just found her secret weapon.

A sequel to I Am Number Four: The Lost Files: The Navigator, this novella picks up with Lexa shortly after the Mogadorians raided her hideout and murdered her friend. Determined to get her revenge but knowing she can't take the Mogs head on, Lexa goes in search of a weapon that just might help her do some real damage: the spaceship the Garde flew to Earth. The only problem is it's under lock and key at a highly guarded base in Dulce, New Mexico. 
 
Lexa's quest to retrieve the ship and track down the Garde has her cross paths with an ally of Pittacus Lore, come under fire from both the FBI and the Mogs, and team up with a headstrong teenager from Paradise, Ohio, by the name of Mark James. To get her secret weapon, Lexa will do whatever it takes. But as the Mogadorians begin their invasion, will it be enough to help save the Garde-and the world?

The worst was supposed to be over. 
 
We were reunited after a decade apart. We were discovering the truth about our past. We were training and getting stronger every day. We were even happy. . . . 
 
We never imagined the Mogadorians could turn one of our own against us. We were fools for trusting Five. And now Eight is lost forever. I would do anything to bring him back, but that's impossible. Instead, I will do whatever it takes to destroy every last one of them. 
 
I've spent my entire life hiding from them, and they've stolen everything away from me. But that stops now. We're going to take the battle to them. We have a new ally who knows their weaknesses. And I finally have the power to fight back. 
 
They caught Number One in Malaysia. 
Number Two in England. 
Number Three in Kenya. 
And Number Eight in Florida. 
 
They killed them all. 
I am Number Seven. 
I will make them pay.

The Garde have suffered the ultimate betrayal: Number Five has allied himself with the Mogadorians, killing Eight and helping the Mogs to abduct Ella from the safe house. Now the fight for Earth's survival has just become that much more impossible. 
 
The Garde may not have time to mourn their fallen ally, but they'll make sure to avenge him. And help is at hand from the most unlikely of sources: Adam, a Mogadorian, has turned his back on his people. He might just be their lifeline, but are the Garde repeating past mistakes by putting their trust in him?

I thought things would change when I found the others. We would stop running. We would fight the Mogadorians. And we would win. 
 
But I was wrong. Even though we have come together, we barely escaped from them with our lives. And now we're in hiding, figuring out our next move. 
 
The six of us are powerful - but not strong enough to take on their entire army. We haven't discovered the full extent of our Legacies. We haven't learned to work together. 
 
Time is running out, and there's only one thing we know for certain: We need to find Number Five before they do. 
 
They caught Number One in Malaysia. 
Number Two in England. 
And Number Three in Kenya. 
 
I am Number Four. I was supposed to be next.

Set in the pulse-pounding world of I Am Number Four, this fast-paced action-packed thriller follows the gifted students of The Human Garde Academy. 
 
When teenagers around the globe develop new superpowers - new Legacies, the Garde create an Academy where they can develop their gifts safely and a group of friends dubbed 'Fugitive Six' banded together to ensure the Academy's continued safety. 
 
But a mysterious organisation is threatening everything they stand for. An organisation that was behind the disappearance of numerous gifted teens. An organisation much closer to home than they think.
