Description

In this electrifying one-hundred-page companion novella to the New York Times bestselling I Am Number Four series, discover what happened to Malcolm Goode after the Mogadorian alien invasion began.

When the superpowered Garde split up, heading off to New York City and Mexico, Malcolm decided to stay behind in Ashwood Estates, the Mog’s formerly hidden base located near Washington DC. He wanted to search the facility for anything that might help John Smith and the others stop the invasion. But once the spaceships descended, that plan went up in smoke.

Before he gets a chance to come up with a plan B, armed soldiers storm the base. As one of the few humans who knows anything about the Lorien Legacies and their war with the Mogadorians, Malcolm is an invaluable asset—and they’ve been tasked with safely escorting him to the president’s secret bunker. With Mogs hot on their trail, though, it’ll be easier said than done. Luckily, Malcolm has some backup in the form of a shape-shifting Chimæra. But even if he makes it to his destination, will Malcolm be able to help what’s left of the government find a way to defeat the Mogs? Or will he be too late?

  • A Human in an Alien War: See the invasion through the eyes of Malcolm Goode, a man armed with little more than his wits, a rifle, and a few powerful secrets.
  • High-Stakes Action and Adventure: From a besieged alien base to a desperate race to a secret government bunker, Malcolm is on the run with Mogadorians hot on his trail.
  • Companion Novella: An essential story for fans of the I Am Number Four series, this tale reveals what happened to a key ally when the spaceships descended.
  • Loyal Allies: He isn’t alone. With a mysterious shape-shifting Chimæra for backup, Malcolm might just stand a chance.
