Part of Lorien Legacies, book 2
First published 2011
Number Seven watches news reports about John Smith's escape from Ohio and recognizes him as Number Four, one of the nine alien refugees who came to Earth as children. The hunters have already killed Number One in Malaysia, Number Two in England, and Number Three in Kenya. Six survivors remain in hiding across the globe, developing their supernatural abilities called Legacies while avoiding contact with each other. Number Seven experiences dreams about a dark-haired girl with incredible powers who might be strong enough to unite the remaining six. As the Legacies grow stronger, the time approaches when they must stop running and start fighting back against their relentless enemies. The question haunts Number Seven: do the other survivors still believe in their original mission, or has years of hiding changed them? With John Smith's public appearance potentially serving as a rallying signal, Number Seven prepares to abandon the safety of anonymity and join the battle for survival.
