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.

getting better

I was skeptical because of the 2nd book, but this book is better. we met new members and the action was awesome.

I just can't stop

I love the progression of the story. I'm hooked I can't wait to listen to the other books and hear how the story ends.

Short books.

I just wish each of these books were longer. They're fairly short to spend 1 credit on each.

Otherwise... new Guard found, more cool legacies, & they're teaming up now. Lots of action.

The narrators were outstanding, as usual.

Over all good

Neil Kaplan might be one of the worst voice actors I’ve ever heard most of the voices he gives these characters are just awful but if you can get past that is a great story

Good addition to the series

Each new addition to the series so far has had a consistent level of story telling, action, and new developments that keep the reader engaged.
It’s a little hard to tell who the narrator is when the POV is changed but there’s context clues to piece it together. My only complaint is the hard to understand voice edit at the end of the book, I understand the reasoning for it but it made it nearly impossible for me to understand what was being said.
Would still recommend

Another good book in this series

The story starts off right where the last one ended. Thankfully nothing was left out. I loved the addition of new characters and guard members. The Moag leader is a real coward. I think he knows he will not win the war so he, in my opinion, cheats. The guards final decision to regroup is smart. The narrators are brilliant and I'm glad make doesn't have to read all of the girls parts and visa versa. Great job! Now on to the next one!

great story, cringe worthy female narrator

I read the first two books when they first came out. I forgot about the series until I saw this on audible. The story is even better than the first two. great to see the group coming together.
my only issue is that the female narrator who does the girls sounds cringe worthy when doing the child voice and outright racist doing the Indian male voice. I give her 1 star... everything else is 5 stars.

Wonderful I love it.

Very fun book and a great adventure. I read one and listen to one almost in the same day. Kudos......

Kept me on my toes.

I'm really good at guessing the outcomes of books but I have to say that I stayed guessing until the end.

Big fans of the Number Four series

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, I'd recommend this audiobook. We were awaiting the release of this book. Get the others in the series if you haven't already.

Who was your favorite character and why?

My son loves number 9. My favorite is 6. Probably the gender thing. We both like to see bravery but also some uniqueness in a hero.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

There were actually 3 narrators. My husband and son and I thought 2 were good but that the other sounded odd in some characters.

Any additional comments?

The movie was pretty good, near to the book.
