Written in Fire

The Brilliance Trilogy, Book 3

By: Marcus Sakey

Narrated by: Luke Daniels

The explosive conclusion to the best-selling Brilliance Trilogy.

For 30 years humanity struggled to cope with the brilliants, the one percent of people born with remarkable gifts. For 30 years we tried to avoid a devastating civil war.

We failed.

The White House is a smoking ruin. Madison Square Garden is an internment camp. In Wyoming, an armed militia of thousands marches toward a final, apocalyptic battle.

Nick Cooper has spent his life fighting for his children and his country. Now, as the world staggers on the edge of ruin, he must risk everything he loves to face his oldest enemy - a brilliant terrorist so driven by his ideals that he will sacrifice humanity's future to achieve them.

From "one of our best storytellers" (Michael Connelly) comes the blistering conclusion to the acclaimed series that is a "forget-to-pick-up-milk, forget-to-water-the-plants, forget-to-eat total immersion experience" (Gillian Flynn).

Could do without all the sex

The story was good, the narration excellent. The story could have been excellent if the unnecessary sex was removed. Clearly the author believes that personal sexual gratification is more important than raising children you've already spawned. I'm not a big fan of that way of thinking.

Waiting for #4

I want to know what happens when Hawk infects the general public.
And, what about the North Koreans?
Huge cliffhanger!

Exceptional story!

This was one of the best books (trilogies) I've read! I loved it and couldn't wait for each book. Sure there were moments where I thought, why did they do that? Or, I thought they were "brilliant" how did they not see that coming? But not often enough to take away from the story or the quick paced action of the book. I also loved how the good guys weren't always good, and the bad guys weren't always bad. The main character even said, "Everyone thinks that what they're doing is the right thing". I will definitely read more from this talented author.

Great Read!

All of the book in this series are fast paced and fun to read. The characters are well written and believable, I recommend them all.

Great end to a great series

Well written end to an excellent series. I thoroughly enjoyed the narration and the whole story from beginning to end.
