About this ebook

The first book in a pulse-pounding new series that’s set in the world of the #1 New York Times bestselling I Am Number Four series. The war may be over—but for the next generation, the battle has just begun!

It has been over a year since the invasion of Earth was thwarted in Pittacus Lore’s United as One. But in order to win, our alien allies known as the Garde unleashed their Loric energy that spread throughout the globe. Now human teenagers have begun to develop incredible powers of their own, known as Legacies.

To help these incredible and potentially dangerous individuals—and put the world at ease—the Garde have created an academy where they can train this new generation to control their powers and hopefully one day help mankind. But not everyone thinks that’s the best use of their talents. And the teens may need to use their Legacies sooner than they ever imagined.

Perfect for fans of Marvel’s X-Men and Rick Yancey’s The 5th Wave, this epic new series follows a diverse cast of teens as they struggle to hone their abilities and decide what, if anything, they should do with them. As a spin-off of the bestselling I Am Number Four series, those familiar with the original books and newcomers alike will devour this fast-paced, action-packed sci-fi adventure.

Ratings and reviews

The series is amazing and is my favorite books and I am so happy and so hyped James Frey is continuing it but I wished four/John was in a relationship with six since they would be better together, Sarah is dead and four/John is way more simular to six than he was with Sarah and there relationship would be very good and have little trouble

A great sequel to the Lorien Legacies series, Generation One introduced me to characters new and old. Although there wasn't much on the original Loric Ten, the Goodes, or Daniela, it really help make the characters stand out and step out of the Loric's shadow. Loved the book; can't wait for the next.

While I don't feel totally invested in these characters yet, I see potential with most of them. I liked the cameo appearances by the Loric in this book and hope for more in future installments. Interweaving known favorites like john smith and 9 gets me more interested in what's going on in this storyline. I keep wondering though, what is john up to now that he is all powerful? Whynot just get him involved and nip this whole thing in the bud? Keep these things coming and I'll keep reading!
