This book was given to me for an honest review.The earth time period of this book is in the future after the disasters , super plagues and mass starvation of the late 21st century had wiped out 80% of the population. The population has come back with the help of gene manipulation. The people with this manipulation are known as Variants. People with gifts. Of course not all come out unscathed. There are many that are born with side effects, some with weird disorders or deformed so badly they don't make it. There is an organization known as the Guild, which is made up of Variants who are kind of like super hero's who go out and save people. Of course there are the people's right groups who want more control over the Variants and the Variants protesting againsts these controls. Ok so that basically describes the world.The story is about these two variants, Damien who's gift is locating people, also a slightly neurotic OCD loner, and Blaze a tracker with a reputation for being a badass. These two, who are not a member of the guild, are asked to join together and find about 40 children missing from the Variant Acadamy. During the search the two men find their issues are accepted by the other and they become close. The search finds runaways, murder, kidnappings and possibly goverment involved lab testing.I liked the fact that the "romance/sex" didn't over do the rest of the story. It is written well with side characters who's personalities round out the story. Who is behind the Lab testing? The government? I guess we'll see in the future books.
