The Power of Six by Pittacus Lore (author)

We are the last defence.

I’ve seen him on the news. Followed the stories about what happened to John Smith. To the world he’s a mystery, but to me he’s one of us. Nine of us came here, but sometimes I wonder if time has changed us, if we all still believe in our mission.

Only six remain: hiding, blending in, honing their Legacies for battle. But is John the mysterious Number Four? And what about Numbers Five and Six? Could one of them be the raven-haired girl with the stormy eyes straight out of dreams? The girl with powers beyond anything imaginable? They caught Number One in Malaysia. Number Two in England, and Number Three in Kenya. They tried to catch Number Four in Ohio… and failed. But Number Seven is right here – and he’s ready to fight.
