YANumbers series.
Adam (Numbers), who can sense on what date people will die, alarmingly foresees thousands of deaths on "01012027." Meanwhile, he fights his growing attraction to Sarah, who has prophetic nightmares about him. Poignant characters balance gritty street talk and a tough demeanor against their tender and conscientious impulses. Readers propelled by the story's driving action will be gratified by the surprising resolution.
