When our story takes place, Number Four and his guardian Henri are on the run, having recently discovered that Number Three has been killed. All nine were assigned a number and due to a powerful Loric charm, cannot be killed out of order. Each child has a guardian who will help train their superpowers (called Legacies) when they come of age. As a last ditch effort, Lorien was able to send nine of its children off planet on a spaceship sent to earth. Number Four comes from Lorien, an earth-like planet that was genocided out of existence by an evil race of aliens called Mogadorians. Also, I had to include the recent movie tie-in reissue because hello weirdly bronze Alex Pettyfer and the best Michael Bay quote, ever. It’s practically screaming to be noticed and that will not do if you’re not in the mood to defend your literary choices. It certainly gives off an alien vibe with its glowy crop circle thing. Honestly, the original cover isn’t that bad.
