The Fate of Ten

Pittacus Lore

Book 6 of the Lorien Legacies series

So I missed book 5, and will have to pick it up later. This installment finds 4, 5, 6, 7, 9 & 10 remaining. We open with 5 & 9 fighting each other in NY, but barely noticed as the Mog warships hover over the city and are destroying Manhattan. Warships are over DC, Tokyo, Beijing, LA, London, etc. The war is officially on and there is no more hiding. 4 and Sam are battling in NY, 6 and 7 are in Mexico at "The Sanctuary" with Adam (major plot development in book 5 I presume) and 10 is captured by Setrakus Ra and in on the invading flagship. So the crew is still trying to figure out what Ra's endgame is, as well as finding out who they can/cannot trust. Along the way, they continue to discover new allies in surprising ways.  Of all the books, this seems like the most in the vein of a "plot setup" as any. Not really any seriously new or exciting alien stuff or battle technique, but finally moving the plot around to allow for a conclusion to the series. So not quite as good as prior episodes, but worth continuing none-the-less.
