YANumbers series.
In post-apocalyptic England, Adam's ability to read a person's death-date--their number--gets him captured by Saul, who steals others' numbers. If Adam won't cooperate, Saul will take Adam's girlfriend's number or his adopted daughter Mia's, leaving them to die. In this trilogy ender (Numbers; The Chaos), Ward doesn't create much new momentum, but plentiful action and high stakes will appease fans.
