I Am Number Four: The Lost Files: The Legacies

De: Pittacus Lore

Narrado por: Devon Sorvari, Jeff Brick, Kaleo Griffith

The perfect companion to the #1 New York Times bestselling I Am Number Four series!

I Am Number Four: The Lost Files: The Legacies is the first collection of novellas from Pittacus Lore. Originally published separately, these stories are now together in one volume.

Lost Files: #1: Six’s Legacy is the captivating story of Six’s harrowing capture by the Mogadorians—and her dramatic escape.

Lost Files: #2: Nine’s Legacy sheds new light on how Nine became the fierce and fearsome warrior he is today.

Lost Files: #3: The Fallen Legacies reveals the riveting true story behind One, Two, and Three, the ill-fated members of the Garde, as told by one of soldiers sent to kill them.

Before they were hunted by the Mogs, before Number Four was next, the Garde were all just teens on an alien planet called Earth—discovering their powers, trying to stay hidden, and running for their lives. And now, their Legacies are our only hope.

The I Am Number Four series is perfect for fans of action-packed science fiction like the Fifth Wave series by Rick Yancey, the Maze Runner series by James Dashner, and Orson Scott Card’s Ender’s Game.

great to hear about the characters before...

hated the way Adam's character said the villian's name but great story none the less

Good Stories - Lost Files Start Point

If you've finished the Lorian Legacies and are feeling flat and like you really want more, the Lost Files are definitely worth getting in to.

I vacillated over whether I really wanted to listen to these and worried they'd be disappointing or not as good as the series. For the most part, they are good and entertaining. Some of these stories are really amazing, though, and you don't want to miss them.

Since I struggled to figure out which of these Lost Files books to start with, I'll just recommend you start with this one.
(And then move to Secret Histories)

This includes back stories for Six, Nine and Adam.

I felt a lot of Six's story was really covered in the original series. This dives a bit deeper, but of the three stories in this book, I would say this was the less interesting for me as it really didn't seem to provide anything new, but it was not bad.

Nine's story is great and a lot of fun. There aren't any sections really from his point of view in the main series, so it is fun to get some insight to how his mind works. (Which can be really funny, but can sometimes be pretty dark.) We also start to get some insights into Sandor, Nine's Cepan. (Who will turn out to be one of my absolute favorite characters in these back stories.)

Finally, the third story in this series is the first of the Adam backstories. Since I've been longing for more backstory on Adam, I was thrilled with this, and the story did not disappoint. It was good and very engaging. I would say my only complaint was that it ended on an almost literal cliff hanger (argh...) and I was a little worried there wouldn't be a follow up. I should have known Pittacus wouldn't do such a thing, though, and all was forgiven when I found the part two and part three of his story in the "Secret Histories" book. (*whew*)

So, in conclusion, these are worth the listen, especially if you are going into Lorien Legacy withdraw. And if you aren't sure which book to start with, I'd recommend you start here. Enjoy :)
