Book Number 2 in the Brilliants Series.
The brilliants changed everything.

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.
