The Revenge of Seven: Lorien Legacies, Book 5

1 Garde dead, 1 Garde a traitor, 1 Garde a grand daughter to Setrakus Ra. Great story. Also enjoy the Lost Files

I have loved this series since the get go. The whole "Piticus Lore" ghost writer thing, and the "WE ARE NOT ALONE!" secretive undertone, is a really cool twist. The whole book being presented as a "They are among us" underground novel was a brilliant idea. But I ALMOST gave this book only four stars. I was a bit disappointed in the ending and the huge secret of the Loriens was ....well, you decide for yourself...Review time:Giant Mogadorian ships hover over all major cities. Their fighters flitting about. The Mogs and the mysterious men in black are working together. The people of earth are enthralled! Loriens are scattered again! After just finally finding one another. Everything is falling apart. ..WTH!? Well, it seems with the gathering of the Loriens in the earlier books is all for naught. Setrakis Ra takes on human form (a beautiful human form at that) and is wooing the Earth's upper government into an alignment. And has been for some time!!Sam's father was right, but he had no idea the depth of the insidious rot! Promises of medical miracles, and advanced weaponry are just too persuasive...The reason for his desire to own all of the Lorien's legacy pendants becomes clear. He can assimilate their legacies. But that's not all they can do.A mysterious place surfaces..."The Sanctuary"..A mysterious pyramid, somewhere in the center of a steamy jungle in southern Mexico protected by Lorien magic, perhaps holds the key to everything....The Mogs have it surrounded, but for a Mog to touch it's Lorien shield is instant ash time for Them.The children of Loric fight on...(or flee on) after the traitorous number five nearly successfully engineers a trap that would have killed or captured most of the Loriens left,. He is at odds with himself now, when he realizes that Setrakis has lied to him as well... Ella is held captive by Setrakis Ra . He tells her of her lineage. Could it be true? The tall dark and cruel Mogadorian soldiers are just "Lab rats!" Born in a test tube with no souls, but Setrakis Ra is not one of them. He is something else entirely!! (No spoilers please) She refuses to believe or become part of what he insists is her destiny. Her legacy tells her that he might be right! But in her heart she is bound and determined to change the visions that haunts her; even as she watches helplessly as events unfold towards that exact end.After Nines giant pent house goes up in flames; their hideout, their only place of respite...John does something that he thought he would never do: he sends Sarah away to be with her X boyfriend Mark! No way, right!? Well, It seems Mark is now the leader of the "They Walk Among Us" group. The once corny, and dubious alien conspiracy magazine is now an actual movement. Their secret is out after all. AND, also to get her to safety. He must find Six, Sam and the rest. He has to stop all this! There is going to be a Grand entrance held to welcome the new visitors to Earth. John is determined to be there to stop it! Ella's vision seems to be coming true right before our eyes folks!! ******Warning! The last bit HINTS at things to come*******When five decides to try to make amends for his traitorous actions that caused the death of (?******?) ...it's almost too late. But his actions do help John and Ella reveal the true Setrakis to the misguided earthlings! Revealed at last ...will the bombs begin to fall?

The 5th book in the Main series sees the Garde in two groups, one in Chicago that includes John, Sam, Adam, Malcolm, Sarah and the Chimeri, and the others, Nine, Six and Marina in Florida.John’s group have just fled the John Hancock building, after losing Ella, and are now deciding what to do.Six’s group are in shock over losing Eight, and Marina is determined to get his body back.And this is a large part of the start of the book, Six’s group going to a base in the swamp to get Eight’s body back. Whilst John’s group split. Sarah makes contact with Mark James (set up now from the ‘Return to Paradise’ short story) and decides to join him and his cyber fight. Adam comes up with a plan that is against what the Garde normally do, using his Mog tactics to assist them, and although this does cause some friction, the group realises how useful he is going to be.The remainder of the book runs as two main stories with some extras. The first of the stories follows John (4) Sam, Nine and Agent Walker (who has realised that Mogs are bad) head to New York to try and thwart the Mogadorian plans for Invasion. The second follows Six, Marina and Adam as they head to a ‘Special’ location that is going to change the world forever.The sub-stories involve Sarah ducking off to meet up with Mark James and the mysterious ‘Guard’ from the ‘Lost Files’, possibly allowing for additional material there. They don’t get their own story lines as such, but periodically check into the story. Ella also gets to check in every now and then via her telekinesis to add extra plot twists.This leads to a fairly in-depth plot twist, with a really fast moving story.The characters have each started to get their defined roles now, and the author has obviously decided to angle towards this. John (4) has clearly stepped out as the leader of the group, and everyone, although eager to criticise when things go wrong, happily defer to him when it's decision time. Nine is the brute force of the group, but also the ‘Military’ arm of their group – always seeking to solve things through force. Six has leadership qualities as well, often becoming the second in charge as needed when the group splits. Marina has become the moral compass for the group, as well as their mobile medical unit. Sam is the plucky side kick, but he also provides John with the strength to continue fighting at times, as well as a sounding board. Sarah is John’s reason for living, and gives him a reason for fighting, she is the heart and soul of the group. Eight represents all that they have lost. Ella is all that they are fighting for. Ella is also something that holds the group together. Through her innocence, she brings the group together.Adam gives us an understanding of the enemy, and also how things are also not so black and white.It's very cleverly written as the characters interact with each other.This series has slowly worked its way to this point giving us background story, building the characters, and it's in this part that you get an understanding of what it has all been about, and the start of the end game.And there is a surprise at the end that is just awesome!Revenge of the Seven is one of the best of the series so far.

This book is now my favorite of the 5 released! It starts where the Fall of Five left off, Marina, Six and Nine are trekking through the swamp with Marina a mess from Five's betrayal and keeping little control over her new legacy. John is with Sam, Malcolm and Adam on the run after the events in Chicago, joined by the Chimaera Adam rescued. We also get the POV from Ella who was taken in Chicago. If you read The Lost Files: Hidden Enemy, there is a nice surprise (ok we knew this would play in) about where one of those story lines left off.The action is intense throughout most of the book. There is no where near as much running and hiding as in the previous books. The Garde had united in The Fall of Five, so now it is about taking action instead of sitting around and planning. The pace is really fast, and moves along well. Some of the previous questions you're left wondering are answered. (DO NOT PROCEED IF YOU HAVENT READ FALL OF FIVE). Without giving away any details, but some answers to look forward too, we learn Setrakus Ra's story and how he came to lead the Mogs and why he wants Ella at his side from the coma Ella was stuck in. I love how the book ends. It's the perfect setup to the last book and I cannot wait another year to see how this sends! I guess I'll have to make do with the novellas that will be released.Enjoy!

Great book alway great quality from Amazon

arrived on time and in perfect condition

Libro en perfecto estado, llegó en tiempo y forma y con las especificaciones mencionadas con anterioridad, totalmente, recomendado para los amantes de la saga

Para quem gosta de uma boa história, bem escrita e cheia de detalhes, essa série é a mais indicada de todas!!

Ma première série en VO, je ne suis pas décus. Facile a lire, vocabulaire simple, histoire prenante et passionnante. Très différent du film, je conseil même si on aime pas la science fiction (ca ressemble plus a de la fantasy dans le style).Quand on termine l'histoire, on veux d'emblé la suite.Livre recus en bon été (comme d'habitude) et très rapidement.

Revenge of Seven is as usual a fast paced book. It only consist of only 315 pages and I expected that this would be the one where climax would be unleashed.You can consider it as the last chapter before the climax, everything is set for a breathtaking Climax.. I've already ordered the last chapter.
