( For thirty years humanity struggled to cope with the br...)
For thirty years humanity struggled to cope with the brilliants, the one percent of people born with remarkable gifts. For thirty 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). The explosive conclusion to the bestselling Brilliance Trilogy. “The kind of story you’ve never read before.” —Lee Child, New York Times bestselling author of the Jack Reacher Series “Ridiculously good. I love this story so much.” —Gillian Flynn, New York Times bestselling author of Gone Girl “Sakey brings his cinematic series to a ferocious close.” —Kirkus

( “The House on Pine Terrace” is an intricate puzzle―a cr...)
“The House on Pine Terrace” is an intricate puzzle―a crime that leads to a romance that triggers another crime that ends with a mystery, which makes you question every event in the story. “The Desert Here and the Desert Far Away” is a haunting exploration of the wounds our warriors bear, not all of which are visible. For one soldier back from Iraq, the war is far from over. When his old squadmate comes to him for help, he sets off a chain of events that will lead him to question everything he believes―and just how far he’s willing to go. “On the Run” is a classic adventure story. On an isolated trailhead in the unforgiving mountains of New Hampshire, Gus Winter and the fugitive holding him at gunpoint will grapple in a life-and-death struggle. “Can You Help Me Out Here?” mixes humor with suspense and features villains that make us smile even as they send chills down our spine. The characters in “Crossed Double” might be made of questionable moral fiber but they are not without their own code of honor, as a father tries to explain to his wayward son. “The Lamented” examines the toll greed can take on the human conscience, even in characters who seem to lack one of their own. When their past pays them a visit, some unsavory individuals discover how easily the line between reality and imagination is blurred.

The brilliants changed everything. Since 1980, one percent of the world has been born with gifts we’d only dreamed of. The ability to sense a person’s most intimate secrets, or predict the stock market, or move virtually unseen. For thirty years the world has struggled with a growing divide between the exceptional…and the rest of us. Now a terrorist network led by brilliants has crippled three cities. Supermarket shelves stand empty. 911 calls go unanswered. Fanatics are burning people alive. Nick Cooper has always fought to make the world better for his children. As both a brilliant and an advisor to the president of the United States, he’s against everything the terrorists represent. But as America slides toward a devastating civil war, Cooper is forced to play a game he dares not lose—because his opponents have their own vision of a better world. And to reach it, they’re willing to burn this one down. From Marcus Sakey, “the master of the mindful page turner” (Gillian Flynn) and “one of our best storytellers” (Michael Connelly), Book Two of the Brilliance Saga is a relentless thrill ride that will change the way you look at your world—and the people around you. “The kind of story you’ve never read before.” —Lee Child, New York Times bestselling author of the Jack Reacher Series “Ridiculously good. I love this story so much.” —Gillian Flynn, New York Times bestselling author of Gone Girl “Simply put, Marcus Sakey's Brilliance saga is awesome.” —Kirkus
