This is a fast paced, sci-fi'ish suspense and action novel. The premise is really nothing new to fans of
X-men or TV shows like "
The Tomorrow People." About 1% of Americans turn out to have extraordinary abilities. A government agency tasked with finding and eliminating those "abnorms" who are deemed dangerous includes hero Nick Cooper, himself an abnorm.
Mr. Sakey did a terrific job. The concept may be nothing extraordinary but the writing certainly is: don't start reading this novel in the evening unless you're willing to stay up late at night; I couldn't put it down.
Based on this experience, I plan to read
Mr. Sakey's other books
.
