Author Interview with Pittacus Lore

Today we're thrilled to have The Power of Six author, Pittacus Lore, who is also the Lorien elder. Recently I had the chance to read and review the thrilling sequel, The Power of Six, which continues to follow John, Six and Sam on their quest to find the others. This time we also get to meet Number 7, Marina who's living in Spain and is also looking for the others.

About the book:
In the beginning they were a group of nine. Nine aliens who left their home planet of Lorien when it fell under attack by the evil Mogadorians, who scattered on Earth and went into hiding, who look like ordinary teenagers, but who have extraordinary skills. The Mogadorians killed Number One, Number Two, and Number Three. They tried to kill Number Four, John Smith ...and failed.

Following a massive battle at the end of I AM NUMBER FOUR that proved that the Mogadorians have found him at last, John joined forces with Number Six. Now the fate of Lorien—and Earth— rests in the hands of these two teens.

Already John and Six have inspired a fellow Lorien—Marina, Number Seven—who has been hiding in Spain. She’s been following the news of what’s happening in the US, and she’s certain it’s the sign she’s been waiting for.

How would you describe The Power of Six in three words or less?
Best. Book. Ever.

Which character have you enjoyed getting to know the most and why?
I have quite a crush on Number Six. She’s beautiful, smart and a truly, profoundly gifted warrior.

We love how tough Number 6. What is one thing you admire the most about Number 6?
She’s utterly and absolutely fearless. And she is very funny, which is something most people do not know about her.

There's a new character who's introduced into the story. Are you able to tell us a little bit about Number 7, Marina?
She was raised in a convent. Her Legacies grow in strength every day. The Mogadorians fear her.

How many more books can we look forward to reading in the series?
For as long as the war between the Lorien and the Mogadorians is being fought on earth, I will document it. Or for as long as I continue to breathe, as I am the Mogadorians #1 target.

Many of us who saw the movie, I Am Number Four really enjoyed watching the extras with Number 6. Are there any plans for The Power of Six movie?
We are hoping there will be, though that is in the hands of Mr. Bay and Mr. Spielberg.

  3. Pittacus Lore is a fake name. The author is James Frey, that guy who had all that drama with Oprah. He's the one who wrote that fake memior A Million Little Pieces.

  4. Marquita- I do too!

    Amanda- We know. Pittacus Lore is the pen name for James Frey and his co-author. They also wrote their pen name into the store, as an elder.
