Blurb:
   Victor and Eli started 
out as college roommates—brilliant, arrogant, lonely boys who recognized
 the same sharpness and ambition in each other. In their senior year, a 
shared research interest in adrenaline, near-death experiences, and 
seemingly supernatural events reveals an intriguing possibility: that 
under the right conditions, someone could develop extraordinary 
abilities. But when their thesis moves from the academic to the 
experimental, things go horribly wrong. 
     Ten years later, Victor 
breaks out of prison, determined to catch up to his old friend (now 
foe), aided by a young girl whose reserved nature obscures a stunning 
ability. Meanwhile, Eli is on a mission to eradicate every other 
super-powered person that he can find—aside from his sidekick, an 
enigmatic woman with an unbreakable will. Armed with terrible power on 
both sides, driven by the memory of betrayal and loss, the archnemeses 
have set a course for revenge—but who will be left alive at the end?
My thoughts:
   It was ok. Cannot say more as I was not impressed or disappointed, but I just didn't enjoy it. The characters are most unexciting evil maniacs ever. I just could not care less about them. Do not think I am up to the sequel.
