Unlike Numbers the pacing of the storyline is relentless. Any issues/problems I had with this series have vanished after reading The Chaos. Nearly a year ago I reviewed Numbers, the first book in this series. Adam and Sarah must find a way to warn London’s citizens of the impending doom, but in a world in which the government controls all communications this task becomes nearly impossible. The book is told in alternating chapters, each one giving the reader a glance inside the minds of the main characters. Her sleep is ambushed by horrible dreams of fire & death. She has also lead a horribly tragic & painful life. It’s obvious she is special as well, but not the same as Adam. With so many people “destined” to die in one day, Adam is certain it will be the result of some large catastrophic inncident.Īt school one day, Adam meets Sarah. He begins to notice a trend hundreds upon hundreds of people will die on New Years Day in the year 2027, just days away. Adam keeps track of “the numbers” in a smal black journal. When rising tides cause flooding, Nan & Adam are forced to move to London. The government monitors its citizens by way of chips embedded under the skin. Natural disasters are occuring on a more frequent basis. Since his mother passed away, he’s been living with Val/”Nan”, his great-grandmother. When he looks into a person’s eyes, he not only sees the exact date of their death but also the manner in which they die.It’s nearly a decade later & Adam is forced to deal with this horrible curse. In the sequel to Numbers, Jem’s son, Adam, has inherited his mother’s curse….and then some.
