First of all, there were only 247 pages. Anyway, this book was great and I loved it. The writing, characters, setting and emotions were portrayed strongly throughout the entire series. The ending was happy and satisfying, which I definitely wasn't expecting. I had prepared myself the whole book that one of my favourite characters was going to die at the end, but thankfully I was wrong. I wish there was more to read. It feels like I'm losing my family because I've become attatched to Adam, Sarah,...more
Inhalt:
Es ist nun zwei Jahre her, dass London von einem gigantischen Erdbeben erschüttert wurde. Adam und Sarah versuchen so gut wie möglich zu überleben, denn darum geht es nun nur noch; ums Überleben. Die Stadt liegt in Trümmern, es gibt kaum genug Nahrungsmittel, und die wenigen Überlebenden hausen im Wald oder in Zelten auf der Straße. Als wäre das nicht schon schlimm genug, scheint sich jetzt auch noch die Regierung für Adam zu interessieren und nötigt ihn mehr oder weniger dazu mit ihnen z...more

Infinity by Rachel Ward is the third and the last book of the series, Numbers. Adam and his new companions, Sarah and her daughter Little Mia are running away from the law. Little Mia has the same ability as Adam, reading people's deathdates by looking into people's eyes. However, Adam realizes that little Mia's deathdate had changed and she is going to die in just weeks. On the other hand, people want to live forever, and they do this by switching deathdates with one another. Can Adam and Sarah...more

My review:
The insanely awesome people at ChickenHouse Publishing sent me this book alongside another one and while this was the 3rd in a series that I hadn’t yet read, I rushed to a friend who had copies of the first two books. The blurb was awesome that I knew I had to read this series. So armed with the other 2 books which I devoured (reviews for them coming soon) I move onto the 3rd book and here’s what I thought ;)

This book for me Beats the other two by far. The family dynamics and romance I found incredibly cute whilst the story line was edgy and dangerous and at times just enough to scare you a little which for me is basically the recipe for a perfect plot. The story was very intense at points. But you know for me Rachel ward finally got her story bang on the money a story that revolves around the numbers in a big way rather than just contains them as a side show.

I thought this book was amazing!! This whole series is just so intense and suspenseful but sweet at the same time. This book is from Adam's perspective as well as Sarah's, his girlfriend. They are being hunted down by the government because they want to be used for their gifts/abilities. The end was so crazy with one exciting moment to another. One thing I cannot believe was Saul. He was just pure evil and tried to steal Sarah's baby from her for all her gifts and when Sarah was in labor, he dec...more
After reading a few reviews on the thrid and final book in this triliogy I really didn't want to read it. Why? Because I liked the first two books so much that I didn't want to spoil my opinion on them. But after seeing that Infinty was only 256 pages on my kindle I decided to read it anyway.
So, the story begins two years after the ending of The Chaos. Adam, a pregnant Sarah, her two brothers and Mia are all living together in the wildnerness travelling from place to place, keeping away from the...more

Well. It was okay I guess - written with the same realism as the other Numbers books. I just felt that this had strayed so far from the first Numbers book, you know? Like, secret(ish) underground bunkers (just down the road from where I live, how cool is that?!), evil dudes out to take your powers... Kinda 'strayed' off in that sense. But, by all means, Numbers fans - this is a must read for you. ;) And if you're dying with curiousity as to what would happen after Numbers 2, haha.
We all have a number. That number is what Adam sees whenever he looks someone in the eye. It is the person’s date of death. Along with this unwanted information, Adam receives a strong feeling, a sense, of how each person will meet his demise. Will it be drawn out and painful? Calm and peaceful? Agonizing and humiliating? Everyone in futuristic England (after the world as we know it has ended) knows this about Adam. They recognize him on sight. Many want to thank him, some want to be privy to hi...more
Not a horrible ending to a trilogy which began with such promise, but definitely the weakest of the three. The first half is a lot of meandering and false starts and waiting for something to happen. The villains are cut-out caricatures. However, I thought the ending quite strong and very exciting (bumping it to 3 stars). It is dark and violent, emotional and nail-biting. (view spoiler)...more
I wasn't looking forward to reading this conclusion to the series before I opened up the first page and saw an interesting little note from the publisher. It summed up for me what this series has been trying to say all along in a few succinct sentences:
"Actually, it's not about dying; it's about how to live with the knowledge. That's the secret - and it takes a rather terrifying last twist in this final book. Don't close your eyes."
Sounds pretty cool, right?
I need to make a point to all you read...more

This is the final book in Rachel Ward's Numbers series. In the first book, Numbers, Jem, a teenage girl, could see numbers when she looked into people's eyes. The numbers were actually dates; the dates people will die. Her gift or curse changed her life dramatically. There is a tragedy and many have died. The police finds some footage that shows two teenagers running away just before the incident and believe they may have something to do with what happened.

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...more

This book was good but I didn't like it as much as the previous two although this one had more bad guys was all everyone is out to get you it just felt a little over the top to me. I guess cause it didn't have that real down to earth feel the two previous had it felt more story like.
this story continues pretty much where the last left off Adam and Sarah and the kids are one the run outside London with all of everyone else. What little government that has survived is looking for Adam and they wan...more

Post-Chaos 2029. Adam, Sarah and Mia are living together, struggling with the fame of seeing numbers - the dates when people will die. But something is about to tear them apart. During The Chaos Mia swapped her number for another. Suddenly her powerful new ability makes her a terrifying target. Everyone wants to live forever.

Every good thing must end.
This was a good ending, but not the difinitive ending I had been longing for. Trilogies often have a weak point. Frequently its the middle book. In the Numbers trilogy, number 2, The Chaos, was the best in the set. Number three, Infinity is good, but not as good.
Frankly, as a stand alone book it might have earned a four or five. By itself this is a good, worthy story that I would recommend to friends. I loved the characters, even Saul, the villain, and the action and te...more

Der zweite Teil der Numbers-Reihe konnte mich nur mittelmäßig überzeugen. Dennoch war ich sehr neugierig auf den dritten und letzten Teil der Trilogie.
Der Roman basiert auf dem zweiten Teil der Trilogie. Meiner Meinung nach brauchte man für den zweiten Teil nicht das Vorwissen des ersten Teils, zumindest ging mir das so, ich könnte mir aber durchaus vorstellen, dass Menschen, die den zweiten Teil noch nicht gelesen haben, dafür mit dem dritten Teil minimale Probleme haben dürften.

Mit "Numbers - Den Tod im Griff" hat Rachel Ward in meinen Augen einen würdigen Abschluss der Trilogie geschaffen, auch wenn es ein paar kleine Sachen gibt, die mir negativ aufgefallen sind.
Inhalt (Klappentext)
Adam ist kein Unbekannter mehr. Sei er versucht hat, die Menschen vor der großen Katastrophe zu bewahren, weiß jeder von seiner Gabe: Wenn Adam in fremde Augen schaut, kann er das Todesdatum seines Gegenübers sehen. Und genau das macht ihn zum Objekt der Begierde von Saul und seinen Männe...more

The only reason this book got a 4 from me is because of the writing.
While it was not as great as the first two, I still thoroughly enjoyed it. It started off slow, but by the end it really picked up. I liked the ending, but it gives the feeling that there should be more, not really the concluding type feeling I had expected. But nevertheless, if you read the other two numbers books, this is definately a must read.

Infinity is a spectacular book. It is told by Sarah and Adam again and how they try to stay away from civilization bu it keeps finding them. In this book, Mia is older and can talk more then in the last book while Sarah has another child on the way. I think Rachel Ward has done an amazing job on the series.
I liked the idea of this book and how it could very possibly happen. I also like the story line and the characters. The story line is told from two points of view so you know what is going o...more

What a great ending to this wonderful trilogy. We had a bumpy start, me and it, but the second installment made up for the first installment's faults, and now the third part has, too. It's as well-written as the second installment, and although I feared it would be tedious and repetitive at the beginning, pretty soon the plot picked up and it became a real page-turner, much more action-driven than its precedents, filled with twists and surprises until its very ending. I absolutely loved the conc...more

Londýn postihla katastrofa, město je naprosto zničeno a neobyvatelné, všechno se naprosto změnilo. Přeživší se rozutekli do lesů, kde od té doby žijí ve strašných podmínkách bez jakékoliv pomoci od vlády. Nikdo takovou zkázu nečekal… Tedy až na Adama a Sáru.
Když se Adam podívá někomu do obličeje, vidí číslo - datum jeho smrti. Sára má zase sny, které předpovídají budoucnost. V minulém díle Čísel jsme byli svědky toho, jak se Adam se Sárou poznali, jak se Adam nakonec pokusil Londýn varovat před...more

Nikdy by mě nenapadlo, že zrovna Čísla bude jedna z trilogií, ze které budu příjemně překvapená, a to nejen dějem, ale i autorčiným stylem psaní. První díl jsem četla rok zpátky, takže zapomenout na to, jak realisticky autorka píše, bylo snadné. Když jsem se však začetla do druhého, věděla jsem, že třetí si musím přečíst taky.
Nekonečnost je pokračování druhého dílu. Británie už není taková, jaká bývala. Po celé zemi nejde elektřina, vláda se vypařila bez jakéhokoliv var...more

Als großer NUMBERS-Fan freute ich mich schon lange auf das Ende der Trilogie. Band 1 begeisterte mich 2010 sehr. Band 2 toppte sogar noch Band 1 und war eines meiner absoluten Lesehighlights 2011. So kam es, dass ich extrem neugierig auf den letzten Teil der NUMBERS-Trilogie war, welcher jetzt im April endlich erschienen ist. Doch leider musste ich feststellen, dass alle Vorfreude dahin wich und ich von dem Ende recht enttäuscht bin.
