Publisher's summary

This program also contains seven bonus radio transmissions from Pittacus Lore!

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.

Best of the series, so far.

This one is my favorite so far. The story comes together well and the transition between the various characters was very well done.

Over all, pretty good

loved listening to it on audible and the story line is pretty good. I just wish they weren't as dumb as the authors made them out to be. it seems like these are some smart kids, and yet they are played down. but I still enjoy it. on to the next one!!

I'm concerned whats next

What did you love best about The Rise of Nine?

Enjoyed the plot and the gathering. The recordings that were taged on the end were hokie. I'll wait to read the next two and how many books will it take to end the story? I'll see if there is another book #6 the reviews on book 5's ending are not encouraging. If that is the last book in the series I'll stop now

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No

Great story and great narrator

I loved everything about this book except for the last about 10 minutes we are listening to a radio recording and whoever directed this decided it was a good idea to make it sound like a radio recording making it very difficult to actually listen to what is being said. Very disappointed that I don't know what the radio transmissions were trying to say.

Great sequel

love the character nine and the other one that was introduced. The expansion onto John and how his dreams are effected was also really cool to read about.

The review Rises

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

There is a film and it was badass... well a film of the first book and it didn't follow as well as it could but badass non the less

Any additional comments?

THis was one of my favorite of the series as 9 is an awesome character..

How fast can I get to the next book

With three different narrators you would think it would become difficult to keep the characters separated at times, because each reads a perspective for a full chapter, but they do an incredible job.

The story keeps you captivated and you want to start the next book the second this one finished. you are connected to the characters and the struggle they are facing trying to get the team together and keep everyone alive.

Good Story

I hated the end of the book with the parts from Pittacus Lore, the narrator was terrible & very hard to understand. The rest of the book was very good and the narrators are much better.
