The Chaos (Numbers) Rachel Ward

The Chaos is second book in the Numbers trilogy and it is amazing. It doesn't even compare to the first book, Numbers.

Unlike the choppy pace in Numbers, Chaos flows. The characters are strong, relate able and the plot keeps you very interested. This book was impossible to put down - I was exhausted but HAD to finish the last few chapters!

The Chaos is dark --- Ward's disastrous world is frightening yet believable. The story is told by two characters, Adam and Sarah. It takes place in the not to distance future 2026-2027. A huge event is about to unfold, many will die and life is destined to change.

This book can stand on its own!

Grade: A

Synopsis [B&N] The curse of the NUM8ERS continues in Rachel Ward's CHA0T1C, earth-shattering sequel! Adam has more than inherited his mother's curse: When he looks in someone's eyes, he not only sees the date of their death...he feels the searing, shocking pain of it. Since Jem died, Adam has lived by the sea with his great-grandmother, Val. But when rising tides flood the coast, they return to London. The city is an alien, exciting, frightening place. Most disturbing of all, Adam can't help but clock how many people's numbers are in January 2027; how many are on New Year's Day. What chaos awaits the world? Can he and Sarah stop a catastrophe? Or are they, too, counted among the "twenty-sevens"?
