A Mysterious Review of Written in Fire by Marcus Sakey. The Brilliance Trilogy.
Review summary: This is by far the weakest of the three books in this trilogy, in part because there is really no story here. The characters on both sides have lost everything that made them human in the first two books, bent on preserving their respective way of life at any cost. A disappointing end to what was so promising to start. (Click here for text of full review.)

The Brilliance Trilogy
Thomas & Mercer (January 2016)
Publisher synopsis: 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.
