It is about the "brilliants" which are people with special talents and abilities. For the first time they were born in the early 1980s and were able to determine from confusion. At first glance, these are not bad qualities, but these people will soon demonized and marginalized. They are classified into different classes and depending on how "dangerous" it could be you need to visit special school and learn to adapt to the society. If you should step out of line, there is the DAR. Nick Cooper works for the DAR and is itself one of the brilliants, he can read the body language and so foresee even the actions of his opponent. And this ability is a Nick to hunt his kind and possibly also to kill, but one of his jobs goes awry and soon is no longer clear whether Nick has all the years killed the right people.
I must admit that I am beginning not found Nick just likeable. He looked like a callous government official and he gets a little reminds me also of a contract killer. But throughout history, we learn much about his background and his motives, but he also changes and the system and begins to question his actions. Each chapter me Nick the story was so sympathetic and exciting. At the end of the book was an entirely new Nick before the reader than in the first few chapters and this Nick understands and you like him.
The design of the novel has succeeded because leaflets, interviews, newspaper clippings or book reviews are always interspersed drawing a vivid picture of this alternative future. And the author knows how to create an interesting world that do not yet really know if she wants to cooperate among themselves with the new residents or want to treat them with pure hatred.
My conclusion: An exciting and fantastic thriller, which is designed as the first volume of a series and to surprise on many levels know!
