Generation One (Lorien Legacies Reborn, 1)

Product Description 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. Review PRAISE FOR THE I AM NUMBER FOUR SERIES: “Number Four is a hero for this generation.” -- Michael Bay, director of Transformers “I Am Number Four is a breathless page-turner. So gear up, sci-fi fans, the battle for Earth is on and there’s a new kid in town!” -- Amazon.com “There’s genuine suspense…. It’s easy to get lost in the world of the sweet teen from another planet.” -- Chicago Tribune “Terrifically propulsive.” -- ALA Booklist “Action-packed.” -- Publishers Weekly “Riveting.” -- The Horn Book From the Back Cover The Loric didn’t make us monsters and they didn’t make us heroes. We choose what happens next. Taylor Cook thought of the invasion as just a bad dream. It had ended over a year ago, and none of the fighting happened anywhere near her small town. She’d heard about teens who were suddenly developing incredible abilities, but she had never really believed it. Not until the day she discovered she was one of them—a human with Legacies. Now Taylor is being sent off to the Human Garde Academy. A place where teens from across the globe can learn to control their new powers and discover what they are truly capable of. There they will be trained by the Loric—the very same people who helped win the war and who are also responsible for unleashing the Legacies on the planet.   As part of this new generation of Garde, Taylor and the others will one day be able to use their gifts to protect mankind. But not everyone thinks that’s the best use for their talents. There are people who have different plans for the students and who will stop at nothing to get what they want. Generation One is the first book in a thrilling new series set in the world of the bestselling I Am Number Four series. About the Author Pittacus Lore is Lorien's ruling Elder.
