Baca Novel The Power Of Six
Lots of Mogadorian aliens and other giant alien creatures battle against a few teen characters with specialized powers. Death turns the aliens to ash, but along the way fast-paced battles describe blood-loss, decapitation, incineration, and lots of swordplay and gunfire. Main characters almost die in fighting but are saved by Marina's ability to heal; she doesn't save two friends in time, however. Marina has a flashback of a near-drowning.
Six sews her own stitches. Six describes how her mentor was killed in front of her. Teens are incarcerated for long periods of time. Parents need to know that this follow-up to has a lot more fighting, including two climactic battle scenes with lots of alien deaths and the sad deaths of two characters close to the hero teens.
The evil aliens turn to ash when they die but decapitations, incinerations, rapid gunfire, bloody stabbings, and more are all part of the action. While this book shows teens coming together to fight evil, one of the main characters makes some selfish decisions that endanger his friends and allies. Swearing doesn't go beyond a heaping handful of 's' words in sticky situations. After destroying his high school battling the aliens called Mogadorians, John (aka Number Four, from the planet Lorien) is on the run with his human friend Sam and Six, a fellow Lorien who is both attractive and a fighting machine. Together the fugitives spend half their time on the run and the other half hiding and training for more run-ins with the Mogadorians. Meanwhile, Marina (aka Number Eight) is hiding out in a secluded Spanish convent with her mentor Adelina.
Adelina is supposed to be training her to develop her gifts, or legacies, but refuses. Marina discovers her powers to heal and breathe underwater anyway, and just in time as a strange 'man ' starts stalking her in town. Meanwhile, John and Six discover that Sam's missing father has an important connection with their mission, sending them right back to Sam's town even though they're sure the visit won't go unnoticed by hundreds of ruthless aliens. If you take THE POWER OF SIX at face value, you'll have lots of fun - that is, when the action gets going.
There's a bit more setup than necessary, and who cares about some snippy convent girls and cranky nuns? The action is nonstop toward the end, though, leaving all that in the dust. Readers may - and should - get annoyed at John more than once as he ditches his friends who need him so he can do what he wants. Book 1 pegged him as much more loyal.
Aspiring writers may not like that this book doesn't have just one author (Pittacus Lore is an alien) and that this series was meant as bait for Hollywood studios, not as great teen lit. Too bad for them that the turned out how it did.
The Power Of Six Movie Release Date
The Power of Six by Pittacus Lore is the second volume in a series that began with the book 'I Am Number Four.' It is a saga that pits good against evil on an interplanetary scale. Nine children and their guardians (Cepans) have been sent to Earth from the planet Lorien which is under siege. The Mogadorians have used up their own planetary resources and are now expanding outward, seeking greener pastures to sustain them. Lorien, the closest inhabitable planet to them is their first target. In an effort to save their race, nine children entrusted with the gifts of the elders are sent away in the hopes that when their Legacies develop, they will be strong enough to return to Lorien and reclaim their birthright. A tenth child, just a baby at the time, is sent to Earth on a second flight with a ship loaded with Chimaera.
Number Seven or Marina as she is known in her current Earth disguise, is living with her Cepan Adelina in the Santa Teresa convent/orphanage in Spain. Adelina has settled into convent life and has convinced herself that Lorien and Mogadorians are all part of an elaborate fairy tale. She has resigned herself to serving God. Marina is just beginning to understand the Legacies that are revealing themselves to her. So far, she's discovered that she has telekinesis, she can breathe under water, and she can heal with her touch.
She spends all of her spare time in a cave she found nearby, storing food and honing her skills in preparation for the day that the Mogs will find her. The scars on her ankle reveal that Numbers One, Two, and Three are already dead. They are protected, but only as long as they stay apart.
As long as that remains true, they can only be killed in order, and the others gain a scar for each loss as a warning. John, who is Number Four is traveling in America with Number Six, his Chimaera named Bernie Kosar (Hadley originally) and his best friend Sam Goode.

Six lost her Cepan, Katarina years earlier, and now they are on the run, hiding from the police and from the Mogadorians. They head to West Virginia where the Mogs have hollowed out a large mountain. It is the site where Six was held captive for many months, and after her Legacy of invisibility developed, was finally able to escape from. Before leaving the region, she drew and hid a careful map. Now they are returning to retrieve the Loric chests taken that are their Inheritances and contain the tools necessary to beat the Mogs once and for all.
