I love when an author can make an anti-hero the hero, and Dale Ivan Smith has done that in this fascinating novel! In an age when Nixon was a successful President and later Supreme Court Chief Justice, the Empowered are either sanctioned or required to foreswear their powers or be imprisoned. Enter Mat, an Empowered recently released from special lock-up for a juvenile crime; add a sick grandmother, twin sisters and the pull of her previous criminal past and you have a brilliantly plotted adventure with interesting characters. This is a perfect way to start this series.
