A 2013 Edgar Award Nominee for Best Paperback Original
In Wyoming, a little girl reads people’s darkest secrets by the way they fold their arms. In New York, a man sensing patterns in the stock market racks up $300 billion. In Chicago, a woman can go invisible by being where no one is looking. They’re called “brilliants,” and since 1980, one percent of people have been born this way. Nick Cooper is among them; a federal agent, Cooper has gifts rendering him exceptional at hunting terrorists. His latest target may be the most dangerous man alive, a brilliant drenched in blood and intent on provoking civil war. But to catch him, Cooper will have to violate everything he believes in—and betray his own kind.
From Marcus Sakey, “a modern master of suspense” (Chicago Sun-Times) and “one of our best storytellers” (Michael Connelly), comes an adventure that’s at once breakneck thriller and shrewd social commentary; a gripping tale of a world fundamentally different and yet horrifyingly similar to our own, where being born gifted can be a terrible curse.
"Brilliance" is brilliant! The theme of inequality within our species always makes for fascinating plots but this one is spectacular story telling! Sakey begins with the tense situation of our normal world filling, over a period of decades, with a percentage of "gifted" individuals, born with abilities far superior to normal people. Each superior individual with an ability that gives him or her a distinct advantage over the majority of the population. He then let's this inequality try to deal with itself. Awesome story telling! So delighted that a sequel is promised!

Those readers fortunate enough to have read Marcus Sakey's first novel, THE BLADE ITSELF, and each succeeding one on its release have had front row seats in witnessing the development of a great writer. Sakey doesn't repeat himself except in the essentials: deft characterizations, imaginative and thoughtful plotting, and a signature style. BRILLIANCE is the product of a restless and wide-ranging intelligence and a novel you won't soon forget. It more than lives up to its title. Check this one out and revisit the other novels. Highly recommended.
