The Forgotten Ones

Lorien Legacies: The Lost Files #6

by Pittacus Lore

In this thrilling 144-page companion novella we learn the fate of Adam, the Mogadorian-turned-ally of the Garde who risked his life to save Sam.

Adam helped Sam Goode and his father, Malcolm, escape the Mogadorian base in Dulce, New Mexico. Using the Legacy that One bestowed upon him, Adam sacrificed himself and brought the entire facility crumbling down on his head.

Miraculously, Adam survives in one piece, and he also discovers something incredible that the Mogadorians had been hiding from the Garde. Separated from his allies, Adam sets out on a quest to find the one thing the Garde have been missing all these years, the very thing that could turn the tide in this war.

It's so cool to see other people's reviews and see how people react differently based on whether they read the short stories before or after the main books.

I'm surprised there's so much background for Adam, who was never one of my favorite characters, but I really love seeing pieces of the main story being filled in.

Esta es otra historia que sigue a Adamus Sentrakus.
De las 3 historias sobre Adam, esta es posiblemente la mejor de ellas, aunque parece un niño llorón, dado que es mogadoriano e hijo de uno de sus generales. Se pasa la mayor parte de los 3 libros quejándose, o diciendo que no es lo suficientemente bueno, o un debilucho, y que puede llegar a ser tedioso a veces.
This Forgotten Ones empieza en donde Adam acaba de dejar caer la base sobre su cabeza en un intento de aplastar a los mogadorianos para que Malcolm y Sam puedan escapar.
Se despierta en un cráter que causado por él mismo, en lo que queda de la base de Dulce, encuentra a otro Mog, Rex. Toma a Rex de 'prisonero' y escapa del cráter, volviendo a la torre de vigilancia derrumbada del libro anterior.

Aquí él y Rex descubren a una chimera, Dust, que también estaba atrapada en Dulce.
Los 2 descansan durante un corto período de tiempo, y mientras descansan, Adam se entera por Rex de que en realidad había docenas de quimeras en cautiverio, todas experimentadas. Y este es el resto de la historia: el intento de Adam de rescatar a las quimeras.

Es muy divertido, de ritmo rápido, tiene buen humor, y hay algunos enlaces de trama realmente buenos no solo para los Archivos Perdidos, sino también para los libros principales.
Los personajes de esta historia han sido mejores que algunos de los otros libros. Como dije antes, Adam es muy llorón, se queja constantemente, lo cual es algo molesto, El Mog Rex, aunque odia a los traidores y desprecia a Loriens, no puede decidir de qué lado está. Y los mogadorianos, supuestamente entrenados y habilidosos guerreros, siguen siendo asesinados por miles por personas como una chica de secundaria que no esta capacitada, un traidor Mog que tiene miedo a las armas y la confrontación, 2 chicas que han vivido en un convenio toda su vida y no tienen entrenamiento, y no tiene Legados ofensivos... Me pregunto cómo se las arreglaron para llevar a Lorien en primer lugar.

The forgotten ones. What can I say?

This is my favorite Lost file so far. Hell, yeah! It was the best.

I fell in love with the beginning of the book. It begins exactly where The search from Sam ends. He was badly hurt, thirsty, hungry and he find a survivor. Rexicus Saturnus I almost die when i read the name. Saturnus?? jajajaj Plus he find another being. A quimaera he named Dust

Adam has to find what the Garde needs to win the battle. Something they completely forgot. And he need the help of an 'enemie', so he can find it.

Here you'll see how much adam has grew up. he has to make some desicions that can cost his live. And trust people he's supposed not to trust.

What I really loved of this e-novella was ADAMUS. He finally accept that One's gone and she'll never come back. And now he trust him self and he knows he can do this. He knows he has the strengh and heart to do what's right. The dude finally realized it!!! He finally knows He can to do it! He became stronger mentally.

Y-E-A-H!

If you liked the other Lost files. you're definaly gonna love this one. So if you didn't read it yet go and buy it.

[Reybert · Rating 5 out of 5]

Again, the story was told in Adam's perspective. I don't know why but as I dwell deeper inside Adam's head, as I become more acquainted with his way of thinking and personality, I get more attached to him. He's quite an exceptional story. And his meeting with Rex makes me realize one vital thing about people. I enjoyed reading this novella immensely. It's short but enthralling and action packed. PS, I feel like it's a teaser of The Fall of Five

[Nathaly Herondale · Rating 5 out of 5]

Este Lost file está increíble, no lo puedo superar.
Con cada Lost file en el que narra mi querido mog Adam, me hace enamorarme más de él.
Aunque extraño a Uno en el libro, y obvio que no soy la única -Adam siempre se está acordando de ella, piensa que es lo que le diría en las situaciones en las que él se encuentra, y la cita de vez en cuando- siento que su ausencia le está dando más fuerzas a Adam para que siga con su camino, puesto que aunque ella ya no se encuentre con él, es una motivación importante el pensar que a ella le agradaría y estaría orgullosa por lo que él está logrando.
La aparición de Rex me gustó bastante, y entiendo su punto de vista de las cosas, no lo culpo por ser como es, puesto que esa es la filosofía de vida que se le ha enseñado desde pequeño y es difícil cambiar todo en lo que siempre has creído de un día para otro.
Y bueno, lo único que ahora quiero es que salga luego "The fall of five" y obvio que aquí, Adam se encuentre con la Garde para que pueda luchar con ellos en contra de los mogs y poder llevarles lo que les tiene.

Oh Lore! You did it again! As the old adage goes.. "once you pop, you can't stop!" and now I just can't get enough! I'm super excited for the Fall of Five! I sooo love Adam! I can't wait to see him work with the other Garde! I also liked Rex.. he was a big help in saving the Chimaeras. I can't wait to see the Garde reunite with their Chimaeras! The Lost Files just keep getting better! This book is really in my heart! This is the best of all The Lost Files so far & I loved it from the first page to the last.

Another great Adam short story, I can’t wait until all the parts come back together again.

"New developments are yet to reveal themselves. Not all the information is in. No. Don't give up hope just yet. It's the last thing to go. When you have lost hope, you have lost everything." - Henri, I Am Number Four

This companion novella continues the story of Adamus the Mogadorian-turned-ally in his point of view. I love the fact that there is still one good Mogadorian out there.

This was definitely a teaser of the 4th book, The Fall of Five.

So hurry the eff up, August!

[Dulce María · Rating 5 out of 5]

Estoy super orgullosa de Adam y su evolución, sin duda alguna mi personaje favorito de las saga.

[Jolice · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is so awesome! The only one bad thing is that it is so short and ended so early!

[Eyleen · Rating 3 out of 5]

Hmmm... this was nice enough, but at this point I feel a bit overwhelmed by the number of novellas for this series, which makes me feel like I have to "work through" all of them. But I guess that is my problem and not the author's fault. He definitely wants to give us lots of background stories, so we're completely immersed in this world.
It's probably also not helpful that this is my second time reading the original series, but the first time for the novellas. I think it works mich better when you read them all together from the beginning, because I often already know where the plot is headed, so there is not much suspense.

cement:
p9: The wreckage is everywhere--rocks and cement and toppled columns, busted computers and equipment with their exposed electrical wires sparking dangerously.

p12: I'm soaked in sweat, though, and practically panting for air as we pull ourselves up the side of the cliff, using toppled girders and jutting pieces of cement and whatever we can find to use as handholds.

Adamus turns out to be a promising ally. Even turns another into an ally for himself.

[Olga · Rating 5 out of 5]

One more story told by one of my favourite characters, Adamus. I really enjoyed how the plot gave us an interesting background to the "The Falll od Five" - it made me understand a lot of things even better.

[Daniela G. · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fue lo suficientemente corto para que no llegara a aburrir, y me hizo feliz por darme más de Adam.✨

De verdad me encantaría un encuentro entre él y la Garde:(♥️

Me encanta

[Daniel · Rating 4 out of 5]

This wasn’t as good as the other Adam novellas but it’s still a step above the rest of the series.

[Kait · Rating 3 out of 5]

i kinda wish i read these in between the novels

[Thenia · Rating 4 out of 5]

Adam has survived yet again and is on another mission!

He is causing a lot of problems for the Mogadorians and is slowly becoming a great ally to the Garde, whom he hasn't even met yet.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what happens next, so I'm starting The Fall of Five straight away!

[Cate Neuhauser · Rating 5 out of 5]

I don’t always write reviews on the novellas that I read, usually because they are so short. I loved most of the stories in the Lost Legacies series, but since so many of them were twenty pages or less I didn’t think that writing a review made much sense, plus I usually read those out of order since I just think they are fun and don’t put as much time and energy into making sure I read them in the correct order. Some people have said that they think the novellas are necessary to the storyline of the I Am Number Four Series, but as someone who has been reading them after the sequels are out, I can tell you that while they are not necessary, they are great additions to the story.
The Forgotten Ones, the sixth novella in the Lost Files set, followers the time in between the third and forth books. The Mogadorian base in Dulce has been destroyed by the traitor Adam and the Gaurde. This novella follows what Adam was doing between then and when he called Sam to warn him that the Mogs had discovered their hidden base. During those weeks, Adam (thought to be dead) had been running from his father and the others from his planet. That is, until he discovered that the Mogs were experimenting on Crimera. Risking his life, he travels to New York in the hopes of freeing the Crimera and uniting them with the Gaurde.

[Lyanndra Reads · Rating 5 out of 5]

When I read The Fall of Five a few months ago, I had wondered how Adam, our favorite Mogadorian, managed to survive the events at the Dulce base and reach the Lorien under attack in Chicago. Well, The Forgotten Ones pretty much answered my question. Despite the novel's shortness, the events were really engaging and interesting. I liked seeing Adam again, on his quest to help the Lorien from the cruelty of his own people. It was quite exciting to see Adam's Legacies in action. I was also interested to know that he wasn't exactly alone when he escaped. Although Rex wasn't as changed a Mogadorian like Adam, it was quite nice of him to help out Adam as much as he could. I also liked reading about Dust; it's nice to know that another Chimaera survived apart from Bernie Kosar, and maybe even more. I was a little cut short with the ending of course, but I only have to look forward to The Revenge of Seven. :)

[Nicole · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another novella from Adam's point of view and I loved it. I love that there's one good Mogadorian out there fighting for the Lorien. Rex really surprised me by helping Adam rescue the chimaera, and I had high hopes that he would continue on with Rex and go help the Garde. Even though he stayed behind, maybe we'll get a surprise from Rex later on in the series. I'm furious that the Mogadorians have been experimenting on the chimaera, and it seems as though a couple are seriously hurt. At least Adam escaped with some of them and I'm sure they will be invaluable to the Garde. Hopefully the Mogadorians are not able to replicate the shape shifting gene. Great novella! Can't wait for The Fall of Five!

[Jennifer · Rating 5 out of 5]

So happy that I picked this up right before the next book was released. Looking forward to getting into the story as it progresses. I am happy that we got more information and more of Adam, but I am disappointed that there aren't more chimera to rescue. I wanted Adam to find the chimera intact and unharmed. I get that the Mogs are awful, but there is so much destruction and death in the stories leading up to the between the numbers that I wanted something more positive than Adam finding and rescuing the survivors. I have to admit that I also had a hope that Rex would turn to the good so that we could see the Mogs being converted as a future possiblity. Or that he was inhabited by one of the other deceased Loric.

[Allison Steadman · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book cleared up a lot of things for me like how Adam got the Chimaera and how he knew how to find the Garde. I also liked reading about Adam's adventure with Rex by his side. I thought Rex was an interesting character that I never got around to disliking. I've enjoyed getting inside of Adam's head and reading about everything that he has gone through. Also I've come to love Adam. He is an amazing character with a unique story that I found most entertaining. I now can't wait to see what else he's going to do in United as One and am sad to see his story and point of view over.

[Pamela · Rating 5 out of 5]

Con esto completo mi amor incondicional a Adamus! Después de leerlo entendí el titulo del libro, "los olvidados" y es porque Adamus rescata algo que muchos habian olvidado y que puede hacer la diferencia entre perder o ganar la guerra contra los Mogs. Ya quiero leer el cuarto libro para saber como este se inserta en él, hay una escena donde ambos libros se fusionan. Con cada libro mi esperanza en ver el planeta lorien de vuelta con todo su esplendor crece a pasos agigantados.
Lo único malo de esta saga es que como todas se toman mucho tiempo en salir los libros y me olvido de detalles que hacen la diferencia. (algún día los releeré)

[Karina · Rating 5 out of 5]

Nov 13, 2014 I really liked it! The ending made me sad, but since I read The Fall of Five, I knew what happens after. I would read The Fall of Five BEFORE you read this novella. This has some spoilers for the book (even though it's kind of a prequel.) it's in the POV of Adam, whom I love so very much. Wish One was alive for his sake. Poor babe.

Nov 18, 2022: still a 5/5, the ending still made me sad, I teared up a little. I love him so much, he still holds up. I recommend BEFORE The Fall of Five. I also recommend reading in this order: Novella 3, 4, then 6 because they take place immediately after the other.

POV: Adam

[Francisco Gama · Rating 4 out of 5]

Bueno, en esta historia corta, el protagonista es Adamus (hijo de un general mogadoriano y traidor a su especie).
Despúes de ir en búsqueda de el hijo de alguien que ayuda en otro "archivo perdido" (para ser específicos "The Search for Sam) queda atrapado bajo los escombros y tendrá "recluso" a un mogadoriano muy herido.
Encuentra a una "chimera" com la que se verá protegido y emprende una misión para rescatar a estas critaturas lorienses.

Es muy interesante y se ponen muy buenos estos archivos y en sí este "Spin-off" de la saga principal. Además ver como los autores relacionan cada historia es fascinante.

[Brittany · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved it. Adam is my favorite character.

[Giselle · Rating 5 out of 5]

¿Cuánto más puedo amar a este personaje? En serio...
Uno ya no está. Y estuve cerca de llorar. Adam no me canso de repetirlo, es mi personaje favorito.
Adam puede estar con Seis es mejor que Cuatro de todas maneras. (Ya se que no, que ella va a estar con Sam, pero, DEJENME SOÑAR, también podría estar con Nueve...)

[Sleepless Dreamer · Rating 4 out of 5]

And that's done. Adam is definitely one of my favorite characters. I love his story and his vibe. In a way, he's an opposite of Five, thinking about it now.

I love how part of the plot here hinges on America's shitty public transportation. Very relatable.

I've been lying on the grass of this park for like an hour and it's been great.
