This is like The Chaos part 2 because Adams family went thru chaos. Omg so much anxiety while reading this waiting to see what would happen of Mia, Sarah and Adam! Great last installment of the series

Strange conclusion to the series. I have to raise this issue; when Jem gave birth to Adam she lost the numbers. So logically Adam should have lost his numbers when his child was born. I mean, sure, maybe this kid didn't inherit the numbers, but if they didn't, according to the "rules" they should have. But no. Also, where did a doctor get explosives and how did they know where to fond them? Besides that, they've just essentially ruined England's last chance at a reboot. And why is no other country even trying to help out? Seriously, there should be a reason.

Fast read. Much better than the second book but overall, not the best series I've ever read. Interesting concept but there wasn't much meat to the book and I felt there wasn't much plot or character development. The last couple chapters were pretty pointless in my opinion as well.

Wow. MAJOR disappointment. The cliffhanger is awful. I want to know some much more. This must have sparked so many fan fictions. This was the worst one of them all. I'm sorry, Rachel Ward, but this could have been better.
Wow. Not what I expected at all.....

Since The Chaos, Sarah, Adam, Mia and Sarah’s brothers have been traveling from place to place trying to avoid people who might want to take advantage of Adam’s ability to see the death date of anyone he looks at. Because Adam and Mia are both tagged with tracking chips, they are in real danger of being found. Though they are thankful that Mia is still alive, they still can’t figure out how she ended up with Nan’s number and survived the fire at Sarah’s parents’ house (at the conclusion of the second book). Did Nan give her number to Mia or did Mia steal it? The family has found a settlement where there is a doctor and adequate food, and Sarah, who is very pregnant, wants to stop running and stay where they are at least until the baby is born though Adam’s instinct is to keep moving. Then a man named Saul who claims to be working for the government comes looking for Adam. He tells him that the government wants Adam’s help in rebuilding the country and that he can take him and his family some place where they will be safe and cared for. When they try to refuse him, he kidnaps Mia, forcing them to come with him. The three end up in an underground bunker with Adam separated from Sarah and Mia. It soon becomes clear that Saul’s intentions are sinister and selfish and have very little to do with the government.
I am sad to say that like The Chaos, Infinity just didn’t live up to the standard set by Numbers, the first book in the trilogy. This may be because Numbers was set in the present day; whereas, Infinity is set in the future in a post-Chaos dystopian world that the author doesn’t quite succeed in developing for her readers. The characters were another problem. I can’t say exactly why but I just never connected to Sarah and Adam the way I did to Jem and Spider. The story is told in alternating chapter between Adam and Sarah, and that didn’t work for me either. I often had to flip back to remind myself who was narrating because their voices just weren’t very different. The secondary characters were pretty cookie cutter and not very interesting. Saul is undeniably evil, but the reader is left to wonder what his role in the government is and how he came to have so much power. Recommended as an optional purchase where the first two books were popular.
