It’s not a very long story... but it is a really sweet story about Jem and Hugh...two ESRB agents who are tasked to track down and help, and hopefully recruit, a powerful empath...Martin. Martin proves to be quite elusive and when he pointily makes it know he doesn't want to be found, Jem and Hugh really have no choice but to forget and give up. Making people forget is Martin’s talent. That sure would be useful in everyday life. I thought at first that Martin was a bad guy...but he just wished to be left alone and not use his talent if he could help it. Martin did suggest though that they could help a man that had the talent to kill with a single touch. Finding and helping people like this is what ESRB does. The characters of Jem and Hugh are so likable. I became quickly fascinated with Jem’s talent of predicting the percentage odds of almost anything and everything. For someone, like me, that absolutely sucks at math I found that ability amazing. Hugh’s main job is to protect and look out for Jem. The way he handled that was quite endearing. The only thing...other than how shot the story was concerning the “sticky situation” they somehow managed to get themselves tied up in could have/should have been a bigger part of the storyline. I was also curious about Martin and Colin's relationship. Perhaps another book??? ( )
